Honestly, The Raiders are pretty good right!!?

I'm in a heated arguement right now. I'm trying to tell my cousin the Raiders are not as bad as people think they are. I mean, they beat the Broncos(playoff team) Steelers (SuperBowl Champs) Bengals(playoff team) Eagles(Playoff team) Chiefs and got screwed out of a Charger game in week 1! So Im asking, aren't the Raiders pretty good this year at least. They beat some tough people. Next year they will be better too right?

    They sucked at the start of the year.Jamarcus Russell went 2-7 and beat the Eagles(mostly to the running game)and the Chiefs(ugliest win i've ever seen).

    But yea only Raider fans know how good we actually are.Like you stated we beat the defending SB champs and three play-off teams.Flukes don't happen 4 times in one season and people are PISSING ME OFF because that's what Raider hater's are saying.

    You don't see the Bucs,Rams,Lions,Browns,Chiefs,ect getting that many "lucky" wins.

    If anyone has watched the Raiders over the past few weeks they would agree with you and me.

    Source(s): Next year if they keep Gradkowski(they better)we'll be a play-off team no doubt.

    They'll only be better if we have a consistent qb and a real rb! Gradkowski and Russell aren't the answer and Vargas (huggy bears nephew) sure as hell isn't! Gt those 2 fixed and we might be able to at least compete for a wild card next year. Can anyone say Michael Vick!?!

    The Raiders have a lot of talent, but until Al Davis leaves that team alone they're never going to be anymore than a mediocre team.

    yea they are but they need to stick with what they are good at which is running the ball they have at least 2 good running backs if you give micheal bush 20 touches he gets +100 yards and gradkowski is good for now but they need to find a franchise QB and Russel is not that hes inconsistant and immature. other than that they can be a very good team

    For some reason, they only feel like showing up when they play decent teams. If they started GRAD from the beginning, they would be at least at .500 right now.

    The Raiders are an up and down team but over all their record says nothing about them. I think that they are a great team but...Charlie Frye shouldn't start. They should let JaMarcus Russell play

    They were good with Gradkowski, but with Russell they suck. so if they have Gradkowski they're good
