Load the cannons and secure the riggings, because its that time again. Time for the pirate gangs from opposite coasts to meet once again on the gridiron. When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers come to Oakland to play the Raiders this weekend, we have a recipe for a good old fashioned war. Every phase of the game on each team has an interesting matchup, [...]

Oakland Raiders offense looking to improve red zone efficiency with touchdowns
One of the major concerns for the Oakland Raiders offense this season has been leaving points on the field by not converting touchdowns while inside the red zone.

Raiders seek to solve red zone woes
(Eds: Updates. With AP Photos.) By JOSH DUBOW AP Sports Writer Carson Palmer and the Oakland Raiders have done a fairly good job moving the ball down the field so far this season.
Getting the ball into the end zone has been a different case.
The Raiders (3-4) have been one of the NFL's least efficient teams when it comes to red zone offense, scoring touchdowns on only about...
Improving run defense key for Raiders
With their offense still struggling to score points, the Oakland Raiders increasingly have had to rely on a defense that has been surprisingly stout against the run this season.
Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly, who has never been part of a top 10 defense in his nine NFL seasons, expects more.
The Raiders (3-4) have allowed 55 yards rushing or fewer in three of their last five games...
Raiders' Huff settles in at cornerback
Michael Huff, lockdown corner? Oakland Raiders coach Dennis Allen is not willing to go that far. "Listen, I'm not ready to put him in the Hall of Fame yet," Allen said. "I don't think Willie Brown has anything to worry about, but (Huff) has improved. That's what we expect, and that's what we will continue to expect: that every day he has an opportunity...
A Tribute to Jano: AFC’s Special Teams Player of the Month
I have always, always, always loved Sebastian Janikowski. He has always been at the top of my list as far as favorite players go. I even drafted him in the 6th round of my fantasy league just to be sure I could stake my claim on him. I love him that much. No one picks a kicker in the 6th [...]
Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski Named AFC's Special Teams Player Of The Month

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Oakland Raiders: Week 9 NFL Pick
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-4) at Oakland Raiders (3-4)
After unimpressive wins over the Jaguars and Chiefs, the Raiders now sit at 3-4 and are somehow in the AFC playoff mix. However, they still aren’t very good. They have a point differential of -42. They got blown out in Oakland and in Miami and they weren’t impressive in either of their last 2 wins against crappy teams. They...
That unfortunate moment when the center snaps a pick-six
Future Oakland Raiders
long snapper?
Even worse is that the center's (Mitch Morris) team, Garden City, lost the Kansas high school game to Dodge City by the score of 24-20. The thought that you wouldn't have lost a game had you not SNAPPED A PICK-SIX can't be a good feeling.

DOMINANCE! That is what happened last Sunday in Kansas City. If it could only be that easy every week, Raider Nation! Enjoy the Victory! Impressive. MOST IMPRESSIVE!
I don't really care if it was ugly, scrappy, or difficult to watch. I also don't give a Death Star damn what type of team they were labeled as before the win by our beloved, Oakland Raiders.
