This is the time of year where legends are made. It's the time where dreams are fulfilled and nightmares are created. This is when the true-grit of an NFL team becomes more important than their overall talent, where fans of any of those teams still playing get their fair share of inside information, and where almost every sports story is surrounding an angle on a playoff matchup...or not...This is the time of year where legends are made.

There must be some sort of gamesmanship going on behind the scenes in Oakland. Why else would there be reports that the Oakland Raiders have requested permission to speak with New York Giants offensive coordinator, Kevin Gilbride?

By now, Raider Nation has probably already heard about all of the negatives that they can bear. From the rumors relating to the eventual Lane Kiffin firing to the recent possibility that they'll lose both Nnamdi Asomugha and Shane Lechler this coming offseason, the Nation's faith has taken a beating...By now, Raider Nation has probably already heard about all of the negatives that they... more

In part one of our Rebuilding the shield series, I explained the beginning of the raising of the Titanic that is the Oakland Raiders. In no way, shape, or form are we saying that this is the only way it will work. This is just one way that we believe will help turn the Raiders around and put then back on top of the NFL world.....In part one of our Rebuilding the shield series, I explained the beginning of the... more

Just when you thought the Raiders couldn't have any more drama until the end of the season, James Cregg called head coach Tom Cable and told him where he could stick the offensive line coach position for the Raiders. The call happened late last night after the Raiders were beaten to a pulp by the New England Patriots...Just when you thought the Raiders couldn't have any more drama until the end of... more

Randy Moss and Lamont Jordan come to Oakland to face the Raiders for the first time since both packed their bags and took the cross-country trip to New England to become Patriots. When this game was originally put on the schedule, many in Raider Nation salivated at the chance to see a much improved Raiders team send them both home as they were in silver and black - losers...Randy Moss and Lamont Jordan come to Oakland to face the Raiders for the first time... more

The Oakland Raiders haven't allowed themselves to become complacent even after winning convincingly in Denver last Sunday. They are still working at getting better and are making the types of moves that we here at TFDS have been begging for since the last off-season. While it may be a little late for the Raiders to get that impact diamond in the rough at this point in-season, they've already proven that it's not impossible to find guys to step in and make real contributions to the team....The Oakland Raiders haven't allowed themselves to become complacent even after... more

You don't have to go far on the web before you begin seeing either A) Former Raiders talking publicly about how bad the Oakland organization is, B) Current Raiders making comments about their unhappiness with the way things are going, or C) Raider Nation bickering and calling each other out about differing opinions. When will the soap opera stop?...You don't have to go far on the web before you begin seeing either A) Former... more

What kind of advice do you give a team that appears divided? Tell them to call Dr. Phil? The Oakland Raiders are a team, and an organization, in crisis. In other words, there are far more important issues they need to tend to before figuring out how to win a game. In the NFL, teams don't call in sick, players do. Tom Cable and the Raiders coaching staff is going to have to keep the players from 'calling in' this Sunday when they face the Carolina Panthers....What kind of advice do you give a team that appears divided? Tell them to call Dr.... more

As a fan of the Raiders, without considering the cap ramifications or the impending doom that it would cause, you'd have to be just fine with the Raiders releasing overpriced players who have failed to produce or lead this year. I admit, I first heard of this possibility from one of our avid readers here at TFDS, and my response was the following:...As a fan of the Raiders, without considering the cap ramifications or the impending... more

After another Raider debacle at home yesterday, a solemn JaMarcus Russell sat behind a myriad of microphones doing his best to answer the questions from the unyielding press corps. Sitting there after his worst performance as a pro-to-date, he made little effort to gain eye contact while wearing his white t-shirt, often referred to as a 'wife-beater'. He looked ready to...After another Raider debacle at home yesterday, a solemn JaMarcus Russell sat behind a... more

I've been pretty hard on the silver and black over the past month. It's no secret; I was not in favor of the coaching change. I was even less in favor of Tom Cable being named 'interim' head coach. Although I like Cable, the best way to lose your best assistant coach is to promote them...

I must really be getting up in years, because I’m already having trouble remembering just how long ago it was that Al Davis pulled the DeLorean out of the garage, called up Christopher Lloyd and told him to grab his lab jacket, and then drove around looking for 1.21 gigawatts so that he could turn back the dial on the Oakland Raiders. After watching the Raiders BE the Big Easy in Louisiana on Sunday, I think that Al’s arthritic fingers didn’t turn the dial back enough...I must really be getting up in years, because I’m already having trouble... more

After a tumultuous off-season, preseason, and first quarter of the regular season, the Raiders will begin to show how well they’ve weathered the storm this Sunday. Ironically, they’ll be doing this in a place known best for the costliest and most destructive natural disaster in the history of the United States....After a tumultuous off-season, preseason, and first quarter of the regular season, the... more

You are no longer ‘in.’ Do you understand? No longer should you end a comment or a conversation with another citizen of Raider Nation using the phrase, “I’m in.” The famous phrase that Lane Kiffin brought with him is now…out. It has been replaced with Tom Cable’s mantra “1-0.” Cable was...You are no longer ‘in.’ Do you understand? No longer should you end a... more

Despite having to sit through another telecast with Tony Kornheiser displaying his lack of knowledge, creativity, and clues especially, there was an interesting show on display between the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints. As you know, the Saints are next up on the Raiders hit-list and every media outlet is sure to tell you that they have absolutely no chance in New Orleans. From what was on display Monday Night, you could make a great case for exactly that. I’m not sold....Despite having to sit through another telecast with Tony Kornheiser displaying his... more

Now that the hysteria has died down, the reality has sunk in, and everyone has already formed their opinions on one of this week’s biggest stories of the week - along with the bailout, the V.P. debate and now O.J. getting convicted and going to prison possibly for life. The story of Al and Lane is over, but left behind is the same question that the Raiders have been facing since Bill Callahan was fired over five years ago: Will the Raiders ever win again?...Now that the hysteria has died down, the reality has sunk in, and everyone has already... more

While sending my kid off to college this weekend, I realized that the Raiders marketing department is deficient when it comes to getting the games televised in Northern California. There I was, nearly four hours away from the Oakland Coliseum and the only NFL game on in the area was Pittsburgh at Minnesota!...While sending my kid off to college this weekend, I realized that the Raiders... more
