Ryan Tannehill
A side note about the draft. Not relevant to the Raiders, but a lot of people have Tannehill going in the top 10. Just wondered what people on this site think about that.
I don't see it, with the amount of picks he's thrown in college, not even having seen a pro defense yet. It's true he had one monster game, but a lot of shaky ones as well.

Was tyrannous and strong:
He struck with his o'ertaking wings,
And chased us south along."

Pryor Watch
"Every week, I get asked numerous questions about rookie quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Is he going to play? Why doesn’t Jackson put him in late in one-sided games? How does he look in practice?
Well, I took many of those questions to Pryor in an attempt to provide some insight into a player who missed almost all of training camp after arriving via the supplemental draft in late August, served a five-game suspension to start the season and has spent most of his time watching veterans Jason Campbell, Kyle Boller and Carson Palmer in practice.
"I’m coming along well," Pryor said. "I’m really getting used to the speed of the game from the defensive perspective of getting in on me. It’s getting better. I can’t really complain. I just got to wait."
That doesn’t mean Pryor can’t spend his time gleaning information from three veterans, as well as offensive coordinator Al Saunders and Jackson.
Pryor finally is at the point where he feels comfortable with the offense, and he is ready to put into action the things he has learned the past four months or so.
"I can say the plays and I got everything down," Pryor said. "I know the protections. It took me about two or three months. It was frustrating because I didn’t get to hit the ground running. It took me awhile to catch up because I didn’t start from Day One. But now, I’m ready to go."
It’s unlikely that Pryor will play Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs or in the regular-season finale against the San Diego Chargers on Jan. 1. He has played one down so far, when he motioned from a wide receiver position to the quarterback on a fourth-and-one play.
Alas, he got called for a false-start penalty and hasn’t played again. For now, Pryor said he is eager to have an entire offseason so that he can get a chance to show Jackson, his teammates and Raiders fans what he can do once he gets a chance to play.
"I just can’t wait to start when everybody starts equal so I can have a chance to get some reps and get some plays in," Pryor said. "That’s all I’m looking forward to, just playing. I want to show the city what I got and help the team as much as I can."
Bey's Career Best Game
"Heyward-Bey is coming off the best game of his young career. He had eight catches for 155 yards and a touchdown in last week’s loss to Detroit—the most yardage for a Raiders wide receiver since Jerry Rice in 2003."

As a forum, we have a wide variety of opinions on various issues regarding the team that tend to only come out in bits and pieces via posts. Seldom does anybody really have the chance to lay it all out, all their plans and schemes.

Who is the man who never holds press conferences, seldom talks to the media and is only truly known to the Raiders inner circle? What we know of him mostly comes from the rare quote by players, coaches, etc.

We should pick him up and cut Boller.

How to answer the inevitable, impossible question
by rightnasty on Nov 15, 2011 4:59 PM EST
on Silver And Black Pride
If you frequent the "Ask a Raider Fan" threads our people have been putting up in other teams forums, you know that the #1 question is "Is Palmer worth the draft picks?" or some variation on that. They don't ask about McFadden first or the injury situation or even about Hue as a first year coach. Nope, they want to know about the trade. I've thought about pre-writing some "canned" answers, and simply copying and pasting them to these threads. There's no simple answer to this.

That's right. It's time for that biannual Wild West Shootout! The 3-5 Tebowncos invade Narrowhead Stadium to take on the 4-4 Kansas City Squaws in what is sure to be one of the most exciting games of the year!

Next weekend the Raiders will be going to Minnesota to take on the Vikings. While they rest up, it's a good time to look back at the most famous contest between these two teams. The Raiders offense was led by quarterback Ken Stabler, who finished as the top rated passer in the AFC, passing for 2,737 yards and 27 touchdowns. His 66.7 completion percentage was the second highest in the league.

The good news is, Al showed us how to put together a team that could not only be a bully, but dominate in the Super Bowl. The bad news is, it took drafts which had 12 rounds back in the day, and we've only got 7 rounds to work with now.
Raider Homers and Rum Punch

It's that time of year again. Time to make that trip to QualComm. Nobody's in the mood for kool aid right now, so let's just be blunt. There's NO reason to think we're going to beat San Diego on Thursday night. Not after the way they played Green Bay so tough yesterday. Two pick sixes for Rivers, and they still only lose by a TD? And not after the performance we just witnessed at the Coliseum. They don't make kool aid strong enough to overcome that. Or when they do, they usually call it something like "screwdriver"or "rum punch".
Oakland Raider Black Hole Fan Club works to change image
In the last years of his life, gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson wrote: "The massive Raider Nation is beyond doubt the sleaziest and rudest and most sinister mob of thugs and wackos ever assembled in such numbers under a single 'roof,' so to speak, anywhere in the English-speaking world."
Whatever, Gonzo. Me thinks they worry too much.

..or Steve Corkran gets his chops busted in chat. Today was Inside the Oakland Raiders weekly chat session, and in it people got on Corkran's case for his opinion of Darrius Heyward-Bey. It's the not the first time. I'd seen other people get on Jerry McDonald about what they believed were negative comments towards McFadden. But today it was a little more pronounced than usual.
So, almost two weeks to go..

Before we meet Denver for the second time.
I expect at the end of this week or the beginning of next, we'll be seeing multiple Denver preview posts, including, I'm guessing, at least 6 devoted to Tebow alone. Honestly, I did not think he'd be running this much in the NFL where people are at least supposed to be able to hit hard and tackle the right way, but he had nearly as many yards against Miami as McGahee in half as many carries. Anyway...
