Oakland Raiders: So What to Make of Moral Victories?

JaMarcus Russell is still inaccurate, The receivers are still learning, arguably the Raiders best offensive lineman, Robert Gallery, is out with a leg injury, but hey, a win is a win. What is a moral victory anyway, who came up with that? Last time I checked, the only thing that mattered were wins and losses. With a team still searching for its identity and confidence, any win is good, be it moral or immoral...okay, maybe not the latter but you get the point. If anything positive can be taken away from this victory, its being able to shut the doubters up, at least for another week. For JaMarcus, it's confidence that if he's struggling, collectively he still has a unit that will pick up the slack in the end. For the fans, no, you wont be this year's Detroit Lions. Let's be honest, No one expects for this team to win by a huge margin, but rather compete each night at a high level. If you expect that, you also are in the group of people who expect money to grow on tree...
