Looks like this is finally the year!

I have been a Raiders fan for about 35 years now, but always at a distance, because I haven't lived anywhere that close. But this year, even though I'm in Texas, it looks like that is going to...

My thoughts/grades on the draft

This was a bit of an odd draft, with some ups and downs, more than I expected after last year's studious effort. That isn't saying that this draft was a dud, or bad, but it wasn't what I expected...

Two weeks to go; my mock draft

I am not going to predict trades, either up or down, and so will be using the picks as they stand now. First round, #3 overall - DT Star Lotulelei (6'2, 311). I take Star over Floyd for a number...

A partial view for the offseason

As the title states, this will be a partial view, because much will be determined by how the draft shakes out. Free agency has been somewhat determined, as we have seen what our cap situation will...

Postseason evaluation, part 3: defense

With the season over, now is the time for evaluation of the team over the course of the year. There were ups and downs, and obviously the Raiders did not achieve what was desired, by the players,...

Gruden to return...?

Yes, just an unconfirmed rumor, but who knows? While he has said that he wants to stay at Monday Night Football, there aren't many coaches his age that are ready to hang it up completely. h...

Some early evaluations

The WR corps need a definite revamping. While Palmer threw 54 times today, 14 went to his TE, and 5 to his RB, over half of his 34 completions. Also, his starting WR's weren't even in the game on...

Points to be considered when judging the Raiders

1) The rushing game has improved, although there is still no evidence that McFadden can be successful in the scheme, nor able to play more than about half a season. Even against Baltimore,...

Sloppy, but... a win is a win

Yes, it is good to get a W, but that was one heck of a sloppy game, at least in the first half. If this game had turned out differently, it would have been a crushing loss; that it went the other...

Another take on the first quarter of the season (defense)

Actually, before I go into that though, I am going to touch on some recent history, and how that ties into what is currently happening right now. First, the roster for the Raiders has in recent...

So far, so good...

Although we are just through the first three rounds of the draft, I am feeling pretty good about what has been done so far. I love the pick of Wisniewski, and the pick of Barksdale is solid. I...

Signcut's one and only mock

Okay, the season seems to be back on, and because everyone and their brother are throwing mock drafts out there, I'd hate to feel left out and not contribute as well. So, on to the chase...

Seymour signed...?

That's the rumor. More as it becomes available...   http://eye-on-football.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22475988/27538700   I'd rather the deal be for 4 years, but as long as it's...

Offseason analysis, not a mock

Because a mock, at this point, is just plain whistling in the dark. Before any kind of mock can be even guessed at, what has to be done is to look at the roster and all of the free agents...

With almost 3/4 of the season gone...

I present a thought for improvement that can take place not only now, but also over the offseason.   The OL is an obvious problem, and has been the weak link on the offense. Even during the win...

Thoughts at the half

It is starting to look like another lost season.   It isn't because the Rams are so bad, because you can see that they have gotten better, and last year's record is not going to be this year's....

Game posts, Tennessee v Oakland

The season begins!   Not an auspicious start for Figurs; not a hard hit, but the ball was  being carried like a loaf of bread. Decent blocking, we'll see how that plays out...   First drive......
