It was reported today that on the Dan Patrick Show, via ProFootballTalk.com, that Oakland Raiders great Howie Long stated that the Raiders are hard to watch.

That has got me wondering if Raiders owner Al Davis will ever listen to anyone.

The Raiders earlier this year tried to ban former Raider quarterback turned television analyst Rich Gannon from the facilities after critical comments about the team.

The thing is that as long as the Raiders keep losing former players are all gonna xriticize the team.

Soonwe or later Davis will have to listen.

In the end hopefully Davis will start listening before its too late.

Kansas City Chiefs running Larry Johnson got himself in hot water after he made disperaging remarks about head coach Todd Haley.

With Johnson already being disciplined for the incident no further action is warranted.

According to ProFootballTalk.com, the word is that the Chiefs might deactivate Johnson on game day.

If that were to happen it would be a big pile of heaping crap.

The fact is Johnsom said what he said out of frustration from constant losing.

Football players on any level are very emotional and the great ones take to heart every loss.

With Haley being a rookie head coach, along with being tough on players, there were going to be a mutiny of players sooner or later.

In the end if they do not have plans in the future for him they need to cut him.

The Denver Broncos suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens.

Champions are not made in the number of wins they rack up, but how they react the next week to a loss.

On Sunday the Pittsburgh Steelers come to town in what will be a defining moment for the Broncos.

Last Sunday the Broncos offense was held to just 218 yards of total offense, which us way down from their average of 344 yards total a game offensively.

The thing is the Steelers defense is better than the Ravens defense as the Steelers are holding offenses to 291 yards of total offense versus the Raven’s 313 yards that they are holding offenses to.

In the end if the Broncos don’t come up with an answer to the Steelers defense the Broncos will not go very far in the playoffs.

The Oakland Raiders announced yesterday that there will be a full investigation by the team into allegations that were made by two women that they were abused by head coach Tom Cable.

The fact of the matter is that this os the Oakland Raiders and they cannot be trusted.

The Raiders are notorius for lying as still to this day the club will deny things when first reported, which later would prove to be true.

also, they did nothing when the whole assault incident became public.

Most teams would suspend their head coaches with pay pending an investigation.

Also, the Raiders have stated before that ESPN fabricates things about them.

The fact of the matter is the Raiders will blow the whole thing off soon as they find one inconsistency.

In the end the Raiders are fooling nobody as the announcement is merely a public relations move.

The San Diego Chargers were one of the favoritesd to win the AFC West, and maybe even the Superbowl.

With barely squeaking a win out against against the Oakland Raiders the Chargers are clearly in trouble.

The Chargers have talent on both sides of the football, but for whatever reason they cannot put it together.

The problem for the Chargers is that after this year they will start losing some young core players whose rookie contracts are coming up after this year.

Could that actually be a good thing?

It can if they rebuild their defensive line as they need a new nose tackle and defensive ends.

In the end changes must be made to not just the coaches, but to players as well.

National Football League players are people with feelings and not all of them can keep their cool like New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

Kansas City Chiefs recent tirade is nothing more than boiled over frustration from a miserable season.

Many people need to remember that Johnson is one of the last few members to a period of time where the Chiefs were winners.

So, it is very easily understandable that Johnson blew up like that.

Johnson’s blow up is also a reminder that head coaches have to walk a fine line of easing up on playera and when to be strict.

Being strict all the time isn’t going to work as players get sick of it very easily when losing.

In the end if Haley doesn’t start pulling things together soon against some average teams he will quickly find himself out of a job.

Being an oldest of three kids I have a younger brother that when I was younger would follow me around.

Just like him the Oakland Raiders just won’t go away.

According to ProFootballTalk.com, Michael Silver reported thay he was denied a request for credentials that was made on October 18th.

The reason that was given was that there would be no room in the press box, which is a load of garbage.

The reason is believed to be that Silver has written former defensive assistant Randy Hanson’s side of the incident between him and Raiders head coach Tom Cable.

Clearly, they just don’t get it as Davis needs to stop meddling in things as he is too old and incapable of making a sound decision.

Positive things are written when they happen and that will only will happen when Davis hires a football guy to run the Raiders.

In the end unfortunately that will only happen when hell freezes over or Davis dies.

The saga surrounding the Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable has comw to a close.

With Napa District Attorney Gary Liberstein not press charges one has to wonder was Cable exhonerated, or did he get lucky?

Football teams are like families and sometimes even your own family will lie for you.

In this case you have to wonder if the coaches all stuck together with one story to make Hanson look like a liar.

One thing is for sure there was a confrontation and a some verbal threats made by Cable.

In the end Cable is ultimately guilty of losing his temper and putting himself in this position as if he continues this kind of behavior he will lose his players.

With the Wildcat offense taking over the National Football League many are wondering if it will last.

After watching a game last Sunday the Wildcat is here to stay.

The game was the New England Patriots at the Denver Broncos.

The Broncos did something that nobosy else hasd so far with the Wildcat and that is motioning the quarterback.

Motioning around the quarterback will now allow the Wildcat to flourish as defenses will have to completely adjust at the last second.

That means at times defenses will be caught out of position.

In the end with such a innovative mind as Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels using it the Wildcat is here to stay.

The Kansas City Chief were once a dangerous offensive team that competed with the Denver Broncos for the AFC West division title.

With Chiefs head coach Todd Haley demoting Dedric Ward from wide receivers coach it is only more clear that winning isn’t coming anytime soon.

Haley right before the start od the regular season fired offensive coordinator Chan Gailey.

It is understandable as Haley comes from the Bill Parcells tree as he first started out under Parcells in Dallas.

To Haley perfection is everyrhing and if you are not striving for it you will be shown the door.

It will take a while for the players to buy into it as this kind of teaching is stunning and envokes anger at first.

In the end when the shock wears off players will see the benefits of this type of teaching, and that is wjen the wins will come.
