You always know that a thread titled "HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA" is gonna be some idiot spewing it out his a$$.
Thanks for the keen insight and the facts behind why you'd think something like this! Most of us are on here to talk about football. Try giving us an explanation as to why you really think the Raiders will win the division over the Chargers or the Broncos. Wow, you have 5 good running backs how many of them are gonna play?
That Michael Bush pick, that LaMont Jordan deal, that deal for Dominic Rhodes, the Justin Fargas pick really worked out so well that you had to spend a top 5 pick on a running back?
The Giants just won a SB with it's defensive line...I guess Al and the Raiders are gonna win one with 7 running backs?
Be prepared for another top five pick in the draft!

This in no way decides any games but let's compare positions
QB - Denver for now. I see JMac being more productive the Cutler 3 years from now.
RB - Oakland. Pretty easy
WR- Oakland (no bias). While Marshall is better then any single WR Oakland has, we have a better 3 set and 5 set (Walker, Curry, Carter, Higgins, Shields/Schilens)
TE- Oakland....Tony is good, but Miller is going to end up being one of the best in the league
OL- Denver
DL- Denver..although close.
LB- Oakland...Morrison and Howard = one of the best tandems in the league
CB- Oakland...Bly is declining while Hall has not hit his prime...and Asomugha is 2nd behind Bailer for the top CB spot
Safeties- Oakland....Lynch is not great in coverage...Wilson and Huff is going to be pretty tough to pass on with Hall and Asomugha
Special Teams- Oakland...Elam gone, it's not even close. Janikowski seems to suck horribly the first few games, and get it together towards game 4 or 5..and Lechler.
Oakland wins a majority of the positional battles. There are some keys on improving the rushing D and that is blitzing Morrison, Howard, Hall, etc. If Kelly stays healthy, it could help, and if Burgess can become a better rush stopper. We got a couple players who had insane potential (Edwards and Joseph)...they could pan out in a different system.
Oakland is certainly not going to beat out SD in the division, but there is no way Denver is going to have it easy wrapping that 2nd spot up.

QB: Cutler is going to be one of the best in the league. Russell has a LONG way to go based on what he showed last year.
RB: I will concede that to Oakland, but I think Torain is going to be a terror and Young willl be good again. We will be back in the Top 5 for rushing again.
WR: Doneed, you are dreaming here. I will take Marshall over Walker. I will take Jackson over Walker and all the rest of your WR's. No better slot receiver in the league than Brandon Stokely, add in Eddie Royal in other looks and where does Oakland compare in their WR corps.
TE: Denver. Sheffler AND Graham. they compare favorably over Miller and?????. Miller is good though.
O Line: Denver. Oakland, as we have agreed before, have a lot of work to do. This is going to have a lot to do with your running game. If you guys cant win the point of attack then I dont care if you have Jesus Christ, Barry Sanders, Emmit Smith and D Mac in the backfield...they will have no where to run. It is also going ot be a LONG year for Russell.
D Line: Denver. And the line will keep improving.You guys still need some help there and have some major questions to be answered.
LB: I will call it a wash. DJ, Boss and Niko will be good and Spenser Larson will be good. We have good back ups in Jordan Beck and Jamie Winborn.
CB: You guys shade us BUT dont put your faith in Hall....he is a car wreck waiting to happen and WAY over rated. Nmandi is the real deal. Our nickel corners will be better in Foxworth, Paymah and Jack Williams.
Safety: You shade us again but we are improved, and Josh Barrett will be sensational in a couple of years I beleive. McCree is good and Mamza will grow.
Special Teams: You have a lot of faith in S Bas man. I think he is one of the biggest first round busts ever. Lechler is good so I will give you the kicking and punting game but not the kick and punt return game. Eddie Royal will be sensational and we are better there than you guys.
Who knows how the division will go. I am glad to see some buzz from you and your fans.......you guys have flat out sucked in recent years and it is good for the division when all the teams take stpes forward. And all the AFC West teams have to get better but I would have major concerns with both your lines. Denver has questions on D Line.....but not like the Raiders. I also am not sold on Russell.....

I would like to start by saying sorry if this has posted already.
Next thing, I would like to express how much I am looking forward to Norv Turner destroying the Chargers and again placing them firmly on the bottom. The AFC West is supposed to be the Broncos, Chiefs, and Raiders battling for the division.
QB: Cutler is good. Russell has the mechanics and natural ability to be the best in the league. No one knows how he will perform as a starter though. I will, reluctantly, give you this one.
RB: We win without a question.
WR: I would say a tie. If Walker, big if, stays healthy I think we win this battle.
TE: Miller will be the next Shannon Sharpe. Watch out for him this year, he will be a superstar.
OL: As of right now, we don't compare.
DL: Same thing, unless Sapp was right about Kelly.
LB: Come on man, you think it is a wash? Howard and Morrison are our dynamic duo, add Hartwell into the mix and we definitely win this battle.
CB: Best pair in the league with Route playing nickel probably the best three in the league. With Huff and Wilson at safety there is no real need to ever bring in a dime back.
Safety: Wilson and Huff are probably the best pair in the league. Huff can cover better than your nickel guys. Actually, Howard can too.
Spot by spot we win everywhere except in the trenches, and maybe QB. These games will come down to who has the better coach because you win the battle in the trenches. You have a coach that has proven himself, we don't. I have faith in Kiffin. He IS turning the franchise around. If Davis keeps him after this coming season, we will be dominate with one new player on each side of the ball in the trenches.

This sounds familiar. Before every season, Raider Nation goes on and on about how they are back and this will be their year. Then the year starts, and the same old Raiders show they are one of the most embarassing and poorly run franchises in football. The Broncos are definitely down, but the Raiders are still a trainwreck. I don't blame you for being optimistic Bisandcan. When you are a Raiders fan, blind optimism is the only thing you can hang your hat on...at least until the season starts and the Raiders start stepping all over themselves again.

Hahahahahahahhaha - Perfect subject. You Faiders are friggin hilarious.
I pity guys like Russell & D-Mac, whose talent would be wasted forever. starting from papa Al Davis to the rotten Front office, the most pathetic organization in professional sports. This is the same arrogant, coach eating, bone stick papa AL who fired Shanny after one season, cos he thought he knew better. And look at the glory Shanny brought to Mile High. I pity Kiffin. he seems a nice god fearing fellow, too bad the beast will eat him too. If you guys still wanna save your organization, get rid of the psycho ,,,the sooner, the better!!
But seriously.......you ever thought of stand up comedy...am telling ya, you could be good...but please apply at the right place, this is a serious discussion forum!!
