Anyone think that McKenzie should talk to Mike Holmgren?

Raiders honor late owner Davis with win vs. Texans
HOUSTON -- The Oakland Raiders won the day after owner Al Davis died, beating the Houston Texans 25-20 on Sunday behind Jason Campbell's two touchdown passes.
Michael Huff intercepted Matt Schaub's pass in the end zone on the final play to secure the win. Coach Hue Jackson dropped to his knees on the sideline, covered his face with his hands and cried as his team celebrated the bittersweet victory.
Sebastian Janikowski kicked four field goals, and Oakland survived a wild finish to improve to 3-2.
Stadiums around the league observed a moment of silence before the early games to honor Davis, who died at his Oakland home at age 82. The Raiders wore black decals on the backs of their helmets with "AL" written in silver letters.
Schaub threw for 416 yards and two touchdowns for the Texans (3-2) but missed star receiver Andre Johnson, who sat out with a right hamstring injury.

RIP, Al Davis. He may have gotten pretty crazy at the end, but he was a damn fine football brain in his day.

It's a damn fine time to be living in San Diego.
Huh?
Did we really drop 59 points on the Donkeys AT Mile High?!
Sweeeeet!
The Raiders have confirmed the release of JaMarcus Russell to the Associated Press.
“We will release Russell today,” a team spokesman said. “We wish him well.”

Just when I thought that JaMarcus put an injury curse on whoever takes his starting job...
...he somehow finally pulls a rabbit out of his hat inside the second two minute warning and pulls an Elway-style comeback after starter Charlie Frye gets concussed.Too bad it didn't happen last week as well...

surprised

Ron Mexico reinstatement...
Though not a squeak has been heard about it from Mount Davis,he'd be wise to let the Griefs or Donkeys take a chance on him,because JaMarcus is still a far better gamble...
wtf?
Raiders sign QB Jeff Garcia
Al Davis wants a QB as old as he is.
Okay, not quite, but what is it with him and the older players?

Where's the excitement?
We've been guaranteed national games on Monday Night kickoff weekend(home to the Stuporchargers)and Thanksgiving Day(first Turkey Day opponent at the Cowpie's new stadium),but where has everyone been?I believe they've played Thanksgiving games in the 60's and 70's,though I could be wrong...
