Earlier this month, Raiders running back Darren McFadden argued that his injury history was a matter of bad luck and not some personal failing that causes him to miss a chunk of every season. It would seem that the Raiders agree. There are no plans in place to hold McFadden back this season in hopes of protecting [...]

The Oakland Raiders couldn’t find the end-zone in the first half of their season opener. Carson Palmer threw for 297 yards but couldn’t find the end-zone until the 4th quarter against the Chargers defense. Palmer and his Raiders had to settle for 2 field goals in the first half and would go into the locker room wondering how they could find a way to beat the defense the Chargers...

TThe Oakland Raiders showed the world last night how important a long snapper can be to your team’s successes (or in this case, mind-numbing failures).
After their starting Pro Bowl long snapper Jon Condo left the game with a head injury, back up linebacker Travis Goethel stepped in and tried to fill his shoes … despite not having long snapped since high school. And almost...

Financial terms were not disclosed, but Reece finally received the multi-year deal he has been seeking.

It's not your fault, man. It's not your fault.I blame Travis Goethel.The Raiders were fighting it out with the Chargers when Jon Condo, their long snapper (who made the Pro Bowl last year), went out with a head injury. The Raiders don't have an officially designated backup long snapper, so backup middle linebacker Travis Goethel was chosen for the task.The ESPN broadcasters...

Denarius Moore missed most of the preseason and Training Camp with hamstring problems, despite initially suffering the injury in June, and now it sounds like he’ll be a game time decision. If he doesn’t start, undrafted free agent Rod Streater, an offseason standout, would start as Jacoby Ford is also out with a foot injury. The problem for Moore owners in fantasy football is...

Would you expect anything less than middle fingers and smoking weed on live TV from the mutants who cheer for the Oakland Raiders? Not us. This storyline isn’t new. It’s the home opener at Oakland Alameda Stadium. Some rookie TV reporter gets the garbage assignment of doing the live shot from the Raiders tailgate.
His job is to talk to people who won’t kill him. Here’s what...

The final contest of Week 1, surprisingly, will be between the teams expected to fight for 3rd and 4th in the AFC North. Both teams have high ceilings but expectations have been reined in for seemingly yearly disappointment. It must be tough, in 2012, to be a fan of either of these teams. Both are mediocre at best with enough knuckleheads on the sidelines to drive you nuts.

Week 1 of the highly-anticipated 2012 NFL regular season wrapped up in the wild west in a division battle between the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers on Sept. 10 on Monday Night Football.
The story of the Chargers’ less-than-thrilling 22-14 win over Oakland was the Raiders’ rudderless offense and shabby special teams play. Quarterback Carson Palmer was without Jacoby...
