More to Come from Raiders’ Palmer in 2013

Via Cuzoogle  |  January 03, 2013
Oakland Raiders fans haven’t had much to boast about in 2012, as their team fell to a disappointing 4-12 record and only finished third in the AFC West because Kansas City were so devastatingly bad. To make matters worse, local rivals, San Francisco, have risen up in 2012 and now genuinely look like the Superbowl contenders their roster has always promised to be, leaving the Black...

  Since the Raider Nation didn’t get what they wanted for Christmas (a winning season and OC Greg Knapp’s dismissal before the end of the season), it’s not too soon to start making a list for that other season of joy: April’s NFL draft. Sunday’s 24-21 defeat at the hands of the equally troubled San Diego Chargers had some definitive highs and lows for the Raiders as they...
