As you can see, MVN still has us up and running. As far as we know, we could be down at any time, but until that we’ll continue to report about your Oakland Raiders. From what we’ve been told, we could go down for site maintenance at any time, so if you can’t get to our site that’s probably what’s going on...As you can see, MVN still has us up and running.

It’s the final preseason game, practically none of the starters and some of the backups will be playing, and due to mine and Patrick’s 53 man roster analysis, you may find yourself wondering,...It’s the final preseason game, practically none of the starters and some of the... more

So you wanna’ know who’s going to make the team? Here at TFDS, we’d like to know too. We’d like to know so much that we decided to predict who’s in and leave the guys out that don’t belong. We realize that many things can happen between now and the final cuts occur such as injuries to our favorite players,....So you wanna’ know who’s going to make the team? Here at TFDS, we’d... more

After often requesting through the media and getting support from Raider Nation, the media, and sites like this one, the Oakland Raiders have finally started to make a few transactions that may aid in the improvement of the team. Of the roster cuts, none really surprised except for the fact that there are still a few players, possibly on scholarship...After often requesting through the media and getting support from Raider Nation, the... 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

Going into last night’s game, there was plenty of concern over how good the Raiders really were. Last week, they faced an opponent that wasn’t as good of a litmus test for how far they’ve come since last season. Both teams were in the bottom third of the league and it was still the first preseason game, so neither team played their starters long....Going into last night’s game, there was plenty of concern over how good the... more

Some of our hater friends have been harping about how the score of the preseason games don’t matter. While to a certain extent, I agree, I don’t wholeheartedly follow that train of thought. While it’s not important that the Raiders win the game, I don’t want anyone on my team that doesn’t think that it’s important. Does that make sense?...Some of our hater friends have been harping about how the score of the preseason games... more

Preseason games are nothing more than a double edged sword for coaches. One edge, the blunt one, is the improvement of the team and for getting everyone on the same page prior to the season. The other edge, the sharp one...Preseason games are nothing more than a double edged sword for coaches. One edge, the... more

Yesterday prior to the game, many of us were saying that there were no bragging rights over a preseason game. I agreed, expecting the game to be close in every way. I didn’t expect to see what I did, a complete domination over a 49er team that is definitely in transition on offense, and still not cohesive on defense. I’m not saying go out and run smack over the win, but there’s no reason not to feel confident that the team is rolling along in the right direction...Yesterday prior to the game, many of us were saying that there were no bragging rights... more

I keep hearing from both 49er and Raiders fans that the game means nothing. Nothing? Like pretty much everything in life, I guess it’s all in the perspective that you look at it from. If you’re looking at it from a ‘bragging rights’ point of view, then it only means something if your team wins the game....I keep hearing from both 49er and Raiders fans that the game means nothing.
