Time for Doom 'n' Gloom

At this point, I just want us to have at least a .500 record. If we end up 6-10, boy will the Gibbs haters start coming out in full force.

You mean they're not already?

I think the reason that it is particularly harrowing to watch this season collapse like the last umptillion is that we are sending are first round pick to Denver next year. In year's past, when things started to go south and the playoffs began to look more and more remote, we could at least be buoyed by talk about maybe getting Kellen Winslow or Braylond Edwards. Not this year.

We needed to make it into the playoffs for that trade to begin to make sense, at least on a mathematical level (if Jason Campbell is the real deal it will make sense regardless).

Anyway, we really aren't that good. Oakland played a mediocre game and we still found a way, against all odds and reason, to lose. Just like last year. Just like Spurrier. Just like Norv.

I was just telling Daseal that. I almost GUARANTEE that they'll win. When we play Arizona, Warner will be a "Pro Bowler" again. I'm seriously just sick of my heart being ripped out of my chest every week.

I know exactly what you mean. I was pretty numb after todays game, I think mainly because last week was probaboly the most heartbreaking loss I've ever had. I ussually let this team run my life when they are still competitive, and they arent right now. Time to turn attention to other things. I'll still be watching every game down the stretch, but whatever. Thats really all I can say right now. Whatever.

It just seemed as if we came out dead in the second half and the Raiders just settled down.

We are what we are: a 5-5 team that probably will finish 8-8 and be heading home Jan. 1.
