I think Houston Texans RB Arian Foster added another 40 yards to his rushing total simply running towards the locker room at the end of the game yesterday. The Oakland Raiders run defense is atrocious. The Raiders are picking up right where they left off last season, unable to stop the run and it showed [...]

This was just what the doctor ordered as the San Diego Chargers pummel the Arizona Cardinals. San Diego outgained the hapless Cardinals 419 total yards to 124, used an opportunistic defense to score a touchdown on an interception return and TE Antonio Gates set a record. For the first time this season, Chargers QB Philip [...]

The Oakland Raiders will suffer their ninth consecutive blackout this Sunday when the Raiders will be taking on the Houston Texans.

Oakland Raiders K Sebastian Janikowski missed three field goals against the Arizona Cardinals and the last one was the most costly. After making 19 consecutive field goals from 30-39 yards, Janikowski missed one from 32 yards out that would have given the Oakland Raiders the win over the Arizona Cardinals. This is a tough loss [...]

The Oakland Raiders should roll this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona is currently not a very good team. They won their season opener against the St. Louis Rams, but were in a position to lose late in the game. Last week, the Cardinals were destroyed by the Atlanta Falcons. The Raiders come into this [...]

For the past two seasons, the Oakland Raiders former first round pick RB Darren McFadden has failed to deliver on the field, but is he headed towards a Pro Bowl season in 2010? Darren McFadden is currently second in the NFL in rushing, only behind Houston Texans RB Arian Foster on the strength of his [...]

According to NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora on Twitter, the Oakland Raiders have named QB Bruce Gradkowski the starter this week as the Oakland Raiders take on the Arizona Cardinals. I don’t know if I agree with this move at this time, but Bruce Gradkowski certainly does bring a spark to the Raiders offense. I still [...]
