ALAMEDA There were plenty of good vibes Monday from a 31-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but little in the way of answers regarding the Raiders' immediate future as the club closed the books on a 5-11 season.
Raiders interim coach Tom Cable was doing his best to deflect talk of his own status in the wake of a 31-24 win over the Buccaneers that would seemingly make him a viable candidate to retain the position.
--RB Michael Bush, who rushed for 177 yards on 27 carries and scored two touchdowns, including a 67-yard run that gave the Raiders the lead for the last time, hopes to have put his days as a fullback behind him.
Brian Dawkins dropped to the turf, after his second strip of a Dallas Cowboy in two drives resulted in a second successive fumble return for an Eagles touchdown, and a third-quarter lead big enough to stretch from South Philly to Minnesota.
