Guess who finished with a top 10 defense?

Guess what, we also finished with one of the best rushing attacks in NFL history.

So for a guy to have the #4 defense in 2009, and have one of the best rushing attacks in NFL history.. the same guy who like to "run the ball and play defense"

Why the hell are we 8-8?

Think about it. There is something seriously wrong with all of this. I'm not asking for an answer, because we all know it. Just think about it.

I'll be happy to answer that for you. It's also an easy answer.

When the offense turns the ball over multiple times a game, and fails to put points up when the defense gets the ball back, you don't win games. But my guess is you want to blame the coach. :nopity:

How do you know he's not thinking the same? I know I was.

I do have to say that it wasn't all Delhomme. The defense was pretty bad at the beginning of the season. The run defense was horrible, but did get progressively better. Same with special teams and our run offense.

But of course the QB issues were the biggest problem. I do wish Fox had recognized that Jake needed to sit a lot earlier than he did. IMO, that one thing is the reason he didn't get a contract extension offer this year.

I know. It's not like the coach is responsible for personnel assignments in any function.

If only we had someone on staff.. ANYONE.. who could've called for a QB switch earlier. Like when it actually mattered.

Damn it all. Maybe we'll hire on one of those guys next year. Live and learn.

I really think Year two with Meeks is gonna be even better. Getting Kemo back will be a big help in run D also. The trio of Kemo,Thomas,Lewis with the help of maybe Tyler. Will be a good unit if you ask me.

Do you think we will keep Thomas? I personally think he is better than kemo. I know he is old but he came in and did exactly what we wanted him to do. I hope they keep him because I don't think kemo will be able to come back and play at the same level after that injury.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
