Yepp, congrats to Oakland on ending their 11 game losing streak. Cleveland had a chance to win with a 40 yard field goal which was blocked.

The Raiders pulled one out of the book like Denver did to them last week. The ball was snapped on the Browns first attempt and the guy made it. The refs said that Oakland called a TO just before the ball was snapped causing the guy to re-kick. The next time around the Raiders blocked the FG. Oakland looked a lot better with Culpepper at the QB than McCown. A let down against Detroit after fighting back to take a 21-20 lead and then the OT loss at Denver much similar to the way the Browns lost this week, the Raiders could be 3-0. Its still early in the season, with the way Norv is stinking up San Diego and the Chiefs are winless I belive, Oakland may have a shot at winning the Division for the first time since their Super Bowl year in 2003.

Agreed. I think they have a good chance at winning their division.

Now speaking of San Diego. Will that go down as one of the great front office blunders in recent history? Marty Schottenheimer had them at what.....14-2 last year? But to replace him with Norv Turner. I guess I'm just not smart enough to understand their way of thinking.

The Chargers should've looked at Norv's past. Sure he done alright in DC, but look what he did in Oakland. If they were looking to hire someone why not hire the coach on the former staff that is now HC at Dallas. Marty was the right man for that job. 14-2 last year and got the boot all because of the home playoff loss to New England. I guess its hard to please some people.

Yeah it apparently is hard to impress some people out there. Sounds like George Steinbrenner is in the Chargers organization, lol.
