Lane did a good job with a bad team and handled himself pretty well.

I think he should find another gig easily.

Al Davis: The coach must go down, and he must go down hard, allow me to introduce you to the new coach of the Oakland Raiders, Barney Frank.

Just like with Shanahan, Davis claims he fired Kiffin for cause and will not pay him for the remainder of his contract.

We have one of the best 45-minute teams in the league this season with the Raiders. It’s a pity games last for 60 minutes. ;-)

Fatso did not help Lane Kiffen's career.

Until Al Davis fires himself it won’t matter. As long as Al is at the helm the Raiders will be a joke.

The Raiders have had the lead in their last 3 games, only
to lose.

Maybe they should’ve let Lane fire Ryan.....

I have not been impressed with JaMarcus. Yeah, sure he can throw the ball 70+ yards, but completions are too few, he holds the ball too long and gets sacked a lot, he decides too late to run with the ball and doesn’t get much running, doesn’t have good touch, etc.

I think the Broncs should hire him as an assistant, just to rub it in ol’ Al’s nose.

The little old lady in a jumpsuit is a basketcase.

Oakland will be joke until she is replaced.

Defense gets tired because the offense has too many three-and-outs, esecially in the second half. Inept QB, banged up RBs, the opposing team defenses are making the adjustments in the 2nd half... it’s a team collapse.

When the punter is the team’s MVP, something’s terribly wrong.

If Denver fails to make the playoffs this year (a very real possibility, IMO) will it be time to replace Shanahan?

No! There is no better choice. Besides, Denver is winning the west this year.
