Yes. It was Marinelli testing the resliance and character of his team. It was also the day after defensive line coach Joe Mullen decided it would be a good idea to strip down to his birthday suit, get into his car, and head to Wendy's for some biggie fries and a delicious frosty.

Hey. He was hot and he was hungry.

Those were good times.

I would like to think that the preseason is meaningless, but so far the Lions have scored only 13 points in 2 games and QBs have completed 45-57 passes against them so far.

Not good times...

whats really sad is that beating the Lions in preseason will be the highlight of the Raiders entire season

Noble_Platypus · 09-25-2006, 05:22 PM

Congrats to Oakland for not losing this past week.

duckman · 09-25-2006, 05:24 PM

Who they play?

Noble_Platypus · 09-25-2006, 05:33 PM

The only team they could avoid losing to

albionmoonlight · 09-25-2006, 05:41 PM

Bye week must have been really hard on Joey Porter.

It's like you get used to getting to go to the circus every week and laughing at all the clowns. And then one week, your mom tells you that the circus is closed.

He probably watched that Aaron Brooks clip on youtube a few times and tried to get in the mood.

But you know it wasn't the same.

Noble_Platypus · 09-25-2006, 05:45 PM

Why was it hard on the Steelers LB? I figured it would be much harder on Jerry Porter

Noble_Platypus · 09-25-2006, 05:45 PM

Unless you meant it was hard on Joey Porter watching Big Ben do his Aaron Brooks impression

iirc Big Ben was actually able to hold on to the snaps

Noble_Platypus · 09-25-2006, 06:11 PM

Maybe he was doing his 2005 Brett Favre impression

EagleFan · 09-26-2006, 05:06 AM

I thought Carson Palmer was doing the Brooks QB fumble play this week.

albionmoonlight · 09-26-2006, 08:31 AM

I actually meant Jerry Porter.

But maybe Joey Porter didn't like the Raiders bye either.

You never know.

sterlingice · 09-26-2006, 08:46 AM

Or how about Cole Porter? Or the porter at a hotel last night?

SI

jbmagic · 10-01-2006, 05:26 PM

14-3 Raiders over the Browns

Great start so far.

Logan · 10-01-2006, 05:33 PM

Might be a better idea to let this thread die...

stevew · 10-01-2006, 05:41 PM

The Browns are awful. I'll give the raiders a minimal amount of credit, as they have made some big plays. They are still lousy.

Ping Browns: You're making Lamont Jordon look like Jim Brown today.

duckman · 10-01-2006, 05:42 PM

I don't want to hurt your feelings, JB, but it's Cleveland.

Desnudo · 10-01-2006, 05:45 PM

Raider's offensive game plan should be just to huck hail marys to Moss on every down. No need to have a pretense of a playbook.

stevew · 10-01-2006, 05:47 PM

Walter is pretty awful.

Raiders Army · 10-01-2006, 05:55 PM

Walter's actually not doing too badly considering it's his first career start. That being said, the Browns look pretty bad.

35.4 rating.
I understand that you probably have low standards after watching Collins and Brooks, so I'll give it a pass

Raiders Army · 10-01-2006, 06:01 PM

Hmmm...I fell asleep during the 1st quarter. Fockin beer. I snoozed after the defensive TD and woke up just in time to see Fargas run and Walter throw a TD to Moss.

DeToxRox · 10-01-2006, 06:48 PM

Not so hot anymore.

jbmagic · 10-01-2006, 06:53 PM

There still lots of time left in the game for the Raiders to win.

stevew · 10-01-2006, 07:09 PM

Wow, that Frye throw was definitely not NFL calibre.

jbmagic · 10-01-2006, 07:21 PM

Damn

stevew · 10-01-2006, 07:22 PM

Nice punt. The raiders fucking suck.

Raiders Army · 10-01-2006, 07:23 PM

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

You know how when your team wins nothing else matters? Well, my team lost today...blew a 21-3 lead, I probably lost my fantasy leagues and my office pickem.

At least I won a $5 bet on the Texans.

Joe · 10-01-2006, 07:25 PM

still gonna win 10 games?

stevew · 10-01-2006, 07:27 PM

That special teams coach should get fired tomorrow. The Browns nearly ran back 2 kickoffs and one punt. Thank god the kickers can tackle.

It's pretty sad when the kickers are the best players on your team.

TroyF · 10-01-2006, 07:42 PM

Impressive. 240 yards of total offense against the Browns. A crisp 68 yards passing. And 0 points after halftime. That idea to have a coach who hasn't been around football for over a decade is looking like a great decision now. Thanks again for passing on Leinart and Cutler. Please Mr. Davis, stay alive. Whatever you do, stay alive.

I'd much rather have Robert Gallery than Big Ben or Phillip Rivers. It's hard to find left tackles like him. He's the prototype.

Dude, we've already established that the Raiders are going to start 0-6 just for dramatic effect, then rattle off 10 straight and keep winning until they're Super Bowl Champions.

Don't forget the part about him not being particularly good the first time around.

Art Shell was on the Maximum Football Beta Team during his absence. He was so into customizing his league he forgot that IRL you play four quarters.

Actually, it wouldn't have been a decade until 2011.
