I see that the Raiders finally pulled the plug on DeAngelo Hall. Why did they waste all that money on a castoff when it could have been used to buy JaMarcus Russell an effective offensive line? We should jettison Javon Walker, too.

And another thing: 10 points in 12 quarters of Football? We dumped Kiffin for this? For Cable?

Mr. Davis, please! Enough is enough! Hire a good general manager and take your hands off the wheel. You don't know how to drive this team car.

Kiffin for Cable not a good swap

When Big Al fired Lane Kiffin and named Tom Cable head coach, I immediately thought, "Oh No!" The offensive line coach the coach who had Barry Sims as a starter, the coach who is starting 49ers castoff Kwame Harris, too. Cable has no clue, and my Raiders suffer. Again! Get a clue, Al, the team will only go so far as the quality of the offensive line. JaMarcus is playing scared.

Put the blame on Ryan's defense

The game has passed you by, Mr. Davis. The Raider Nation is fed up with Rob Ryan, the worst defensive coordinator in Raiders history. It's time for longtime fans like myself to stop buying tickets to watch a defense with no heart, exemplified by Ryan.
