Does the NFL hate the Raiders? Do the officials over-react to seeing Silver and Black? Does the league have it in for the Raiders? Is there really a conspiracy against the Raiders, or more specifically—Al Davis? Call me a homer, a die-hard, a conspiracy theorist, or whatever you like. This piece, while it’s clearly my [...]

Stefen Wisniewski had a mixed bag in his first NFL contest. He was very solid at the point of attack on Monday against the Broncos in both the run game and the pass game, but he struggled on the second level and also committed two penalties. All in all, I’d say that is an impressive rookie [...]

Oakland Raiders super kicker Sebastian Janikowski is facing some fairly serious charges. The Contra Costa Times broke the news and Ozraider first posted it here in the fanposts. Apparently Janikowski has been charged with misdemeanor battery and false imprisonment against a woman. According to the Times:   What is known comes from court documents in which Nicholson, 36, says Janikowski [...]

So, it turns out that the Oakland Raiders play more games this season, six, with the 10AM EST start time than the New England Patriots. You may ask why this is a big deal, but let me tell you that the Raiders are 2-9 in their last 11 games played on the East Coast starting at 10AM. That [...]

With the victory over Denver now firmly in the rear view mirror and the game against the Bills being broken down, I want to add a little perspective on what’s at stake with a victory on Sunday. For starters, The Oakland Raiders have not been 2-0 since 2002, when the team started out 4-0. The line for the Oakland [...]

Greetings Friends and Fellow Followers—RaiderDamus has brought us tidings of joy! And the big D is already in mid-season fortune telling form. He nailed the Broncos 20, but overshot the Raiders by eight. I attribute this toTim Tebow‘s angelic presence in Damus’ dark arts. Anyway jump over for a glimpse of the future, and lay your own prognostication in [...]

Jacoby Ford‘s hammy will sideline him for the bills game. It has been a rough injury filled start for a player that was looking to have a big second year. He will be joined on the sidelines by the M&M boys, Murphy and Mitchell. Huff, Seymour, Boss and DHB were all practicing Friday, and all [...]

It seems the NFL certainly is becoming a passing league. Week 1 of the season featured five games where each starting quarterback passed for at least 300 yards. Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell was not in that group. Not even close. That’s no big deal for Campbell and the Raiders. Campbell wasn’t feeling down about throwing for a [...]

The good news for the Raiders was the return to practice of tight end Kevin Boss on Wednesday, but less certain was the status of three key starters. Out with a knee strain since the Raiders-49ers game Aug. 20, Boss was on the field catching passes and doing knee bends. He was listed as limited, [...]

When the defensive line dominates, the Raiders win. If they are going to win this game, they will need to win it up front. Otherwise, the Bills spread out passing attack will kill the Raiders. The Raiders need to stuff the Bills runs at the point of attack and force the Bills into passing situations [...]
