RETURNING THE RAIDERS TO GLORY (1 Viewer)

[Dickies]

Damn, I think im gonna have to go play ESPN 2k5

 

[Portis 26]

Into the FOURTH QUARTER and the Raiders will have to punt. At least TUI wasn't intercepted again!

 

[Portis 26]

TITANS on an extended drive, MCNAIR edging them closer to FG range and the opportunity to take the lead over the misfiring RAIDERS....

 

[Portis 26]

TWO MINUTE WARNING and the TITANS are already in FG range.

 

[Portis 26]

NEDNEY 32 yard FG and the TITANS take their first lead of the game, 23-21!

 

[Portis 26]

HERE WE GO! Chance for TUI to redeem himself!Under 2 mins to go, RAIDERS trailing by 2!

 

[Portis 26]

Great run by TUI for a first down! Clock ticking!

 

[Portis 26]

TUI hits JERRY PORTER all the way to the 8!FIRST DOWN AND GOAL TO GO!

 

[Portis 26]

WESTBROOK slams it into the line a couple of times and it's THIRD AND GOAL!CLOCK TICKING!Just over a minute left, TITANS out of timeouts!Now, here's what the RAIDERS SHOULD do. They should let the clock run down to about 35 seconds, then kneel, then bring on Janikowski and have him kick it as time expires. But that doesn't mean they are going to do that!

 

[Portis 26]

TUI INTERCEPTED AGAIN!!!!The RAIDERS went for it all and threw it into the end-zone! When they could have won it by kneeling then kicking the FG!

 

[Portis 26]

That has to be the DUMBEST PLAY EVER!!!!

 

[Portis 26]

But it's not quite over! RAIDERS have all 3 timeouts! So as long as the TITANS don't get a FD they could still have a shot!

 

[Portis 26]

So it proves! RAIDERS hold the TITANS and will get the ball back with 38 seconds left in the game!!

 

[Portis 26]

RAIDERS start at their own 42, 38 seconds left in the game, just need to gain about 25 yards to get into FG range.

 

[Portis 26]

TUI is INTERCEPTED for a FOURTH TIME!!!! And WOOLFORK takes it all the way back for a 52 yard score!!!TITANS WIN 30-21!!!

 

[Portis 26]

TUI finishes 15-27 for 266 yards, 2 TDs and 4 INTS.HOW MUCH did the RAIDERS miss RANDALL MAGNUM?

 

[Portis 26]

Well, TUIASOSOPO's contract expires after the season and after that performance I think it's fair to say he is NOT going to be re-signed!RAIDERS crash out of the playoffs, repeat dreams in ruins!

 

[Outside Contain]

I was double blocked on every play. That's just not possible coach! *52*

 

[Portis 26]

I was double blocked on every play.

You played great, the Raiders D just couldn't cope with five interceptions being surrendered by the O!

 

[randall146]

MAGNUM CONFIRMED OUT 4 WEEKS!!!!That means the RAIDERS SUPER BOWL drive will be in the hands of ... MARQUES TUIASOSOPO!!!

 

[randall146]

Raiders still alive without crocked star RANDALL MAGNUM!

uh, what?

 

[Portis 26]

uh, what?

I guess that debacle just proved how *IRREPLACEABLE* RANDALL MAGNUM is!

 

[Silverback Surfer]

At FS, SILVERBACK SURFER started during the regular season and had a solid rookie year (he'll make a big jump in his overall ranking) but he is too raw to start in the playoffs. CB CHRIS CASH has the physical presence and speed to man the FS job for our playoff run. But by next year, SURFER will be an outstanding talent .

Put me in coach, I'm ready to play!

 

[Illegal Pants Downfield]

Disappointing. When's the offseason start? Magnum's going to be back with a vengeance next year .

 

[Mad Cow]

Mad Cow is waiting for suit up.

 

[Portis 26]

Mad Cow is waiting for suit up.

If a DE is there in the draft, it's gonna be MAD COW TIME!!

 

[Mad Cow]

Mad Cow is waiting for suit up.

If a DE is there in the draft, it's gonna be MAD COW TIME!!

 

[LoveMuscle]

But NORTHCUTT FUMBLES THE PUNT!From HERO to ZERO for #4 WR (and kick returner) DENNIS NORTHCUTT!!

Thats it, we should bench him and let LOVE MUSCLE return punts.

Meh, I'm like Leroy Hoard. If you need three yards, I'll get you three yards. If you need five yards, I'll get you three yards.

 

[Portis 26]

OK, on with the off-season, and it should be a very exciting one!

 

[Portis 26]

RETIRED:JEROME WOODSBackup safety had no value with the emergence of future superstar FS SILVERBACK SURFER.

 

[Portis 26]

RE-SIGNED:Teyo Johnson (13/7)Kenyon Coleman (13/7)Doug Jolley (7/7)TEYO is just a horse at TE for us. Huge talent. COLEMAN is steady at DE, but it would be nice to replace him in the future with a draftee so MAD COW and BABY DEMON can join the team. JOLLEY is a solid backup TE for us who has some value in double TE formations.

 

[GStrot]

MAGNUM CONFIRMED OUT 4 WEEKS!!!!That means the RAIDERS SUPER BOWL drive will be in the hands of ... MARQUES TUIASOSOPO!!!

 

[Portis 26]

NOT RE-SIGNED:Travian SmithM. TuiasosopoTravis TaylorTerry FairNo way TUI was coming back after his FOUR INTERCEPTION performance in the playoffs when RANDALL MAGNUM got hurt. Too much bad karma around you, Tui - sorry!Smith was a useful backup MLB, Fair had value as a reserve CB and kickoff returner and Taylor was an OK backup WR, but we want to have as much cap space as we can to be aggressive in free agency, so they are not re-signed.

 

[Portis 26]

DRAFT upcoming! Let's hope we can get a great DE!

 

[Portis 26]

The #1 ranked DE in the draft is AVAILABLE!A monster pass rusher with unbelievable strength!Welcome to the RAIDERS, MAD COW!

 

[Portis 26]

Was hoping we could take another DE in the 2nd so he could be BABY DEMON, but there's no-one good enough out there.Rest of the draft is just backups.

 

[Portis 26]

DE MAD COW signed to a $10m/7 year deal.He'll take over the key pass-rush DE slot from SAM WILLIAMS.

 

[Portis 26]

FREE AGENCY coming up and our key need is a veteran QB to back up RANDALL MAGNUM. We don't want to be left like last season when TUI went down in flames when Magnum got hurt.

 

[Portis 26]

Some very good luck for the Raiders as two key vets who are on the verge of retirement are available in FA.PRIEST HOLMES (88 overall - signed to a $40m/7 year deal) instantly becomes our starting HB.DREW BLEDSOE (93 overall - signed to a $50m/7 year deal) is a superb upgrade as our backup QB.

 

[Portis 26]

JAVON WALKER (79 overall) signed to a big $11m/3 year deal to be our #3 WR behind stars JERRY PORTER and D-JAX.What a trio of WRs! Watch out, rest of the league next year with RANDALL MAGNUM back and throwing to them!

 

[babydemon90]

DREW BLEDSOE (93 overall - signed to a $50m/7 year deal) is a superb upgrade as our backup HB.

That is money well spent. I would not imagine we'll see Bledsoe breaking too many long runs as a HB tho....but still owrth it to make him tote the rock

 

[Portis 26]

I would not imagine we'll see Bledsoe breaking too many long runs as a HB tho

Edited above to QB

 

[Portis 26]

CUT:Scott McGuire (backup HB makes way for PRIEST)Stan Hubbard (backup DE makes way for MAD COW)

 

[randall146]

DREW BLEDSOE (93 overall - signed to a $50m/7 year deal) is a superb upgrade as our backup QB.

You're signing a 93 rated QB as a backup? I don't buy it. My agent will be contacting you.

 

[Portis 26]

You're signing a 93 rated QB as a backup? I don't buy it. My agent will be contacting you.

Ah, but RANDALL MAGNUM has ascended to 94 overall after last season, making him the clear front-runner. MAGNUM is the FRANCHISE! Drew's only role is if anything... untoward should happen.

 

[Portis 26]

Well, the RAIDERS are going to be quite something in Year Five.RANDALL MAGNUM will be back behind that monster line, handing off to PRIEST, and throwing to PORTER, D-JAX, TEYO and JAVON WALKER. On D young FS SILVERBACK SURFER and DE MAD COW should make their presence felt along with star LB OUTSIDE CONTAIN and superb DT LOVE MUSCLE.

 

[Portis 26]

The RAIDERS are very close to being a dream team... now there are only a couple of points of relative weakness, DE KENYON COLEMAN and SS DERRICK GIBSON, but even both of those are very solid performers.

 

[Village Idiot]

DE BabydemonSS LeonThere are your next off season moves if the draft and/or free agency smile upon the Raiders.

 

[Psychopav]

Don't encourage him.

 

[LoveMuscle]

C'mon, coach, let's get this season started!
