 Raiders (2-7) at Dolphins (5-4) — Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST, CBS
THE SCENE:
Score the results of the Raiders 2008 offseason on a scale of 1-10, and they earn a 0.   Fill out a report card on their first nine games, and they get a G, one step down from F.  Last week they intercepted Panthers […]

Panthers (6-2) at Raiders (2-6) — Sunday, 1:05 p.m. PST, FOX
THE SCENE:
The Raiders gained negative two yards in the first half last week against Atlanta. That’s two yards fewer than you or I had, closer to resembling the American dollar’s value compared the Euro than production from an NFL offense.
And that’s not the worst of it.
On Tuesday […]

Falcons (4-3) at Raiders (2-5) — Sunday, 1:15 p.m. PST, FOX
THE SCENE:
In a race to become the most undisciplined laughingstock in professional sports, the Raiders have lapped themselves. Despite getting beat down 29-10 by the Ravens, Oakland defenders taunted Baltimore fans, rowdily celebrated tackles and waved their arms at their opponent’s bench like helpless birds flapping […]

Raiders (2-4) at Ravens (3-3) — Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST, CBS
THE SCENE:
If winning ugly got you to the Super Bowl, this game would probably be a preview of the AFC Championship. The Raiders picked up their second victory of the year against the Jets last weekend, but converted a couple of Brett Favre airballs into a […]

Jets (3-2) at Raiders (1-4) (Sunday, 1:15 p.m. PST, CBS)
THE SCENE:
The “Black Hole” will certainly give Jets quarterback Brett Favre (right) an earful, a testament to Raider fans’ loyalty to the silver and black, because this team is becoming increasingly more difficult to watch. Their performance in New Orleans last week provided the latest example.  […]

Raiders at Saints (-7.5) (Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST, CBS)
THE SCENE:
The Superdome crowd bellowed a frustrating sigh on Monday night as (now ex-kicker) Martin Gramatica hooked a potential tie-breaking field goal wide left.  New Orleans lost 30-27, but Reggie Bush, who racked up 269 all-purpose yards in the loss, couldn’t have done anything more (short of booting […]

Chargers (-7.5) at Raiders (Sunday, 4:05 p.m. PST, CBS)
GAME TIME:
Six weeks ago had you said the Raiders and Chargers would meet in Week 4 sharing identical 1-2 records, you would have been called a fool.  An imbecile.  An idiot, even.  The Bolts were seen as Super Bowl contenders, while the Raiders were, well, the Raiders.  […]

A common complaint about “new media” is that those who write in it are too wedded to the sound of their own keyboard.  The verbiage-to-substance ratio is all thrown off, leaving readers to chew through too much gristle in pursuit of meat.  With that in mind, we present quite simply the greatest, cleanest, most informative, […]

Raiders at Bills (Sunday, 10:00 a.m. PST, CBS)
GAME TIME:
Don’t let the Raiders win over Kansas City fool you. The game was one of the poorest excuses for professional football since Vince McMahon’s XFL dumpster fire.
The teams scored six combined points in the first half, and only a garbage time touchdown run by Michael Bush bumped […]

Raiders at Chiefs (-3) (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. PST, CBS)
GAME TIME:
Following Monday night’s 41-14 trouncing at the hands of Jay Cutler and the Broncos, it would be a Ronald Curry-less stretch to say things could get any worse for the Raiders. By the way, how many times can JaMarcus Russell launch an incomplete pass off Curry’s outstretched fingertips? […]
