What a heartbreaking loss for the Raider Nation. The Oakland Raiders were able to score 22 points in the fourth quarter, including 15 unanswered, to be one field-goal away from tying the scoreboard on what would have been an incredible comeback. Unfortunately, the 35 points scored by the Buccaneers in the second half ended up being too much to overcome [...]

Palmer now pivotal figure for Raiders
What was becoming evident throughout the first half of the season is now patently obvious. As much as running back Darren McFadden was touted as the player whose success was most important to the team, it's clear the Raiders will rise or fall with quarterback Carson Palmer. Now that McFadden and backup Mike Goodson both have high ankle sprains, with their status for Sunday...
The Raiders need to make changes Pryor to the end of 2012
Oakland Raiders Terrelle Pryor is the future of this Raider franchise. That is clear at this point with the issues this season established to not be fixable in 2-3 seasons at least. Carson Palmer has been a bright spot for Raider Nation in a bleak season that is only going to get worse before it gets better, but it might be time to give Pryor the keys to the city now. As much as...

Fantasy football waiver wire week 10 pickups
Week 10 is not a week that will turn around your fantasy football season.You won't find many gems out there, yet there are a few safety valves that are worthy pickups if you need a bye-week substitute or want to take a flyer on a couple of gambles.
Raiders Backfield For Week 10
I can fly Juan…
With DMC and Mike Goodson out for week 10 the duties will be up to Taiwan Jones and Marcel Reece against the Ravens.
Taiwan Jones will be the ‘starter’, which can be nothing more than ceremonial at times. The Raiders have really failed to run the ball effectively this season and they may not change even against a Ravens team that has been run over during the...
Week 10 QB Busts
Pssst…I’m not that good this year Juan…
Busts
Philip Rivers @ TB
TB has been smoked out of the building by Eli, Brees, and Palmer, but have also shut down Romo, Cam, and Ponder. Rivers turns the ball over too much and will only have marginal numbers at best.
Michael Vick vs Dal
Vick has been a turnover machine this season and is taking too many sacks. Look for Ryan to dial...

Looking at Roethlisberger’s remaining schedule you have to pretty much love all his matchups. I would be shocked to not see him with at least two touchdowns this week. Carson Palmer against the Ravens? Yes sir! With McFadden out you should see Palmer throw it upwards to 40 times this week with an...
Oakland Raiders: Week 10 NFL Power Rankings (#30)
Last week: 30 (-1)
Record: 3-5
Oakland/Tampa Bay was a crazy game for statistics. Everyone knows about Doug Martin’s 272 total yards and 4 total touchdowns, which was the 4th highest single game fantasy football total in history. However, we also had Carson Palmer throw for 414 yards and 4 touchdowns in a losing effort for just the 7th time in NFL history. Meanwhile, because of...
The Stockton Menace
My second home was louder than roaring cannons, Sunday.
My voice was hoarse.
My skin was sweaty.
My armor, heavy.
My family, happy and for once. Optimistic.
It seemed like that Oakland magic was about to rear its pretty little head again. You all have seen it before.
