I always be a Raider fan, but it really hurts to see such a bad team. Is it that Al Davis should let the team alone at once?

Everything, most noteably the owner, Al Davis. He refuses to understand that he no longer knows what's best for the team. Meanwhile all his decisions make the team suffer. Rehiring an outdated coach that had only had mediocre success his first go-round was a mistake. Aaron Brooks is not a good quarterback. The offensive line is offensive! Basically the run of the team should be in someone else's hands--not Al Davis'.

I feel your pain. I was very disappointed when they aquired Aaron Brooks. The future is with Andrew Walter and I think Al Davis wanted to acquire a cheap replacement for Collins so that they could eventually put Walter in. History has shown that the QB position with the Raiders is secondary to the other positions especially Defense. Their biggest problem now is the Offensive Line. I thought they drafted some a great players but guys like Gallery have proven to be busts. The defense is not as bad as one may think. They just have been in a terrible position this year with being on the field for most of the game. Look for Walter to improve and lead the Raiders to about 5-6 victories this year. Next year, they will need to aquire proven Offensive lineman either through the draft or free agency. Remain being a Raider fan my friend but maybe we should root for those Lighting Bolts this year to win it all.

Hate to say it because you have to feel bad for the fans but, this season is D-U-N done for the Raiders. Yes, they have a QB situation, but the real problem lies in the O-line; they don't have one. Their defense is nowhere near tops in the league, but it's not terrible either. It's gonna take a few years to rebuild that offense though. Sorry Raiders fans, I feel your pain

Offensive line is dreadful, Brooks never was the answer at QB (can't believe they passed on Leinart), and they don't have a #2 to go with Moss now that Porter is in the dog house.
It's going to be a few years to rebuild that team, and probably a lot longer if ever to rebuild the mystique.

They have no QB. Brooks was never the answer. Now they're one-dimensional, so Jordan is paying the price of having defenses key on him. Result: no offense. Unless Oakland experiences a miracle and some unheralded QB shows up to lead them to the promised land (i.e. The Super Bowl), their season is over.

Al Davis wouldn't leave the team alone if he was in a coma.

Get a better offensive coordinator. Coaching won't make ANY difference.
Al Davis needs to retire in the worst way.

Yeah the Raiders kinda suck this year, Welcome to my world try to be a Cardinals fan, They suck, have sucked, and will continue to suck.
The Raiders really need a new QB, Moss is just being wasted otherwise.
