The Raiders suck because they're always rebuilding. When they have a good but not elite team being built, they gut the whole thing.
I remember them actually being reasonably good and looking like they turned the corner only a couple years ago. I checked the stats. Yes, the Jason Campbell-led Raiders (2010 and 2011) went 8-8 both years and were 11-7 in Campbell's starts until he got hurt and the team sold the house to acquire Carson Palmer for the 2011 playoff push that never materialized (they went 4-5 with Palmer the second half of the season after a 4-2 start with Campbell).
I remember thinking at the time that Tom Cable and then Hue Jackson had finally 'got it' on how to use a team like the Raiders. Despite Al Davis' obsession with speed and a vertical offense, the 2010 Raiders were a smash-mouth, defense and run the ball kind of team (#2 in rushing, #11 defense in yards allowed) led by a game manager QB in Campbell who minimized mistakes (only 12 interceptions in 18 starts with Oakland). Jacoby Ford, Louis Murphy, and Pro Bowler Zach Miller were the young building blocks to a budding passing offense.
Then the Campbell injury happened, the Carson Palmer trade which mortgaged the future of the team, and they suck again."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

I agree with most of the comments made by the other Bears fans, but ask again after the draft. They still have more holes to fill (safety) on defense and more depth to add. BMI, division is possible, playoffs pretty good and then hopefully at least to NFC title game.Originally posted by MRT144 View PostComment

Personally I think the Bears should be the favorite in the division this year. With normal injuries, not particularly concentrated in one area (hint hint), they should be 11-5 plus or minus a win. With that offense - which should only be better this year - there's no reason to believe they won't win a ton of games assuming the defense regresses to the mean (both in health and performance).<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

If you mean, "best RB in the league, who will rarely see the playoffs and never win a post-season game," I agree with you.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Not true. He already has a playoff win. Doesn't he, Sloww?Originally posted by -Jrabbit View Post
The 34-3 divisional whooping of the Dallas Cowboys in the good Favre Viking year.
Remember? Romo threw a pick and fumbled 3 times while getting sacked 6 times. In retrospect, an above average playoff game for the Dallas QB."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

And Barry Sanders has a playoff win as well. 38-6 over the Dallas Cowboys in 1992. Beuerlein and Aikman combined for 0 TDs and 2 INTs.Originally posted by Al B. Sure! View PostComment
