Today is indeed a dark day. We are falling apart like last season. Gannon wont be back this season or maybe ever again. Rice is most likely gone, Porter is not happy...

. I will post what I posted in a Raider forum yesterday as I am to sad to type anymore about it today.

First off I would like to state that Kerry "turnover" Collins needs to go. Now I unfortunately know this will not happen as Turner already stated that Kerry will remain starting QB, but that decision is honestly beyond comprehension. Everything Gannon could do beautifully, Collins can not do at all. Collins has zero mobility, zero vision, zero accuracy and no passion or competitiveness whatsoever. We need him to be a leader and step up, but unfortunately he is busier thinking about which bar he should go to after the game, he is killing our morale. I would like to apologize to Gannon for having to witness this embarrassing and unenthusiastic performance as well.

Next up, our 0 Line: What is the deal with penalties lately? These continuous penalties are so asinine that it makes me wonder if our guys are even awake half the time. For god’s sake, enough false starts, if you can’t hear the snap count, keep your damn eye on the ball! Today we were not as terrible as last week in the false start department, but instead we don’t seem to be able to get in a correct formation. Is it really that difficult to understand that seven men need to be on the LoS?! What I think we need to do is make these adjustments, from left to right: Gallery, Sims, Grove, Middleton, Walker.

Our D: I don’t even know where to begin with these guys. I will say this though, anytime the S tackles the RB more than The D-line or LB's, we have a MAJOR problem. So much for the 4-3, eh? Sapp? You are getting paid how much? Why don’t you back up the talk and make a play, or do you miss Tampon Bay too much? Walker: You need to go play some Pop Warner and learn the basics. Grant, AGB: *sigh*. If I see one more 3rd and long conversion, I will lose my mind. If I see a conversion over a moronic penalty, I will jump out the window. We MUST stop them on 3rd down, and we aren’t even coming close!

Special Teams: LoL....that is all I have to say about that.

I'm sorry if this sounds negative, but I am sick of making excuses for us. I am to point where I am fed up with our lack of discipline, passion, intensity, pride, poise and dare I say, commitment to excellence. We look like a bunch of weaklings with no will to even play the game. I see no heart in any of these guys. This is why I severely miss Gannon. He was a true Raider with all the qualities we need in a QB, exact opposite of Collins. Get your heads out of your god damn asses and play some football. We have gone from being the most feared team in the league to being the laughing stock. We are headed to another 4-12 season, if that even, if things don’t pick up fast. I mean, the Bolts are in second for god’s sake!!!

I am just furious because I LOVE the silver and black and I HATE to see them struggle like this.

RAIDERS 4 EVER!!
