I call Tom Cable fired by week 10 after he goes 2-8 and he probaly will be forced out by AL Davis because Al Davis is the worst owner in the league. He needs to stop getting involved, this isn't the 1960's where you can do a seven step drop and throw the ball long all the time.

Remember Super Bowl XXXVII Raiders vs. Bucs in 2003. The Raiders made the Super Bowl...under Al Davis. Did they win...no. But saying the Raiders will never win under Al Davis is stupid, if you were talking about the Lions it might be a different story...
How could they never win under Al Davis Baja, if you take a little time to know the history of the game you would see that they already have won(alot) under Al Davis. Cable had this team playing very capable at seasons end, just ask the Bucs.
I'm gonna have to kinda agree with baja on this one. Al Davis was once a very successful owner, but lately he lost his mind. The reason they won't win now under him is because they change coaches all the time. And with every head coaching change, comes an offensive and defensive coordinator change. Therefore all the players are having to learn an entire new gameplan just about every year. However, there offense could be effective if they get some o-linemen and some receivers. McFadden and Russell have the talent to lead an offense to great things. But as long as Davis keeps hiring and firing coaches, they won't be a good team.

I totally agree but Al Davis doesnt have to go for the Raiders to contend. Keeping Cable in place could mean the same system will stay as well and like I said earlier they were playing decent football down the stretch. I think its possible that Davis was humbled by the whole Kiffin ordeal that maybe he is going to the let the guys he hired to do the job actually do the job. Coming from a city with owners like Leonard Toste who almost sold the team to a group that would relocate to Arizona to pay a gambling debt or Norman Braman who wouldnt even offer Reggie White a new contract because he was more interested in lining his own pockets. The Raiders could do alot worse, at least Davis still has the passion and wants to contend a win a world title. I know he hasnt made the right football decesions but his heart is in the right place.
But that's been Al Davis' exact problem lately. He hasn't let the guys he's hired do the jobs he hired them for. Lane Kiffin in my opinion was and is a very good head coach. He had discipline and was really good at game planning. His problem was he didn't have any players to support his game planning.

Al Davis is the NFL's version of the pre-Joe Torre George Steinbrenner; way to involved with his franchise, never gives his coach a chance to develop and the franchise has to suffer.
I doubt Al Davis until he can no longer physically do it, will step down as Raiders GM.
Haha thats calling someone out. The Raiders are a team that have a lot of things they need to turn around, but like Al Davis on the horizon is another person that is losing his mind. Now this guy won three Superbowl in the 90's and was a great owner till of late. This person is Jerry Jones.

Amen to that cheesy, but he isn't going to leave till he is six feet under. He is devoted to the franchise which is good, but you shouldn't control the team thats why you have the coach and GM.

Yah thats when the Raiders were good, but even then he made an idoitic move by moving the team to LA. Everyone knows that LA is a crappy city for football.

Haha baja man you keep fighting with the moderators basically man, first you fight with Co now JP man you got this haha. No baja I like you dude you stick to what you believe. I think that Albert Haynesworth will sign a big contract at the end of the season. Here's some facts baja the last three years he has had 16.5 sacks and last year he had his most ever with 8.5 sacks.

I did not say Al Davis sucks, I compared him to George Steinbrenner, I may not agree with his handling of a franchise but he still has the ability to be successful.
Baja just continues to go after anyone that'll listen to him, gotta respect that.
And for the record Bob, there is only one moderator. CO is just the man.
I speak my mind. Like you said I stick to what I believe.
As for Haynesworth there is no question that he is one of the best in the game today. He will go to a team that has cap room for this big deal he is going to want. They also are going to obviously need him. The Bucs,Broncos,Bengals,Packers,Chiefs,and the Titans. These are all possibilities. IMO he's going to the Broncos or Bengals.
