how and why the Raiders will make the playoffs

[Rainy Parade]

ok, might make the playoffs.

or could make the playoffs....

either way, check out my new NFL column
and feel free to pass the link along to any Raider-fan friends you might have.

thanks!

It doesn't surprise me with the amount of talent that team has, especially on Defense. Last year they beat some pretty good teams like Philly and Pittsburgh.

not to be a jerk, but this isnt a raiders forum. i dont particularly care if the raiders turn it around or not.

I'd agree. Jason Campbell was the obvious link between the two franchises so it was nice to do the good news bad news thing, but beyond that, I don't so much care about the Raiders.

thanks Matty! it got locked before i could tell you and Smoot that i actually didn't know about that rule he linked to. and i usually write one Redskins column each week, so i'll stick to that one as far as posting new threads here.

i hear you, but this forum is "Redskins and General NFL Discussion" so feel free not to click on threads about Rothlisburger, Lawrence Taylor, Tebow's jersey, and the Raiders playoff chances. if there was a seperate "general NFL" forum I would have posted it there.

Disregard the armchair mods. A lot of folks don't seem to realize we talk Skins and anything related to the NFL in this forum.

DITTO!

I'm looking at the title thread wondering why on earth do we give a rats patooy and then I saw who started the thread. My next question is, is there not a Raiders board he can play on? Some one should pull his starting of new threads abilities. I'm not trying to be a jerk but if it pertains to the Skins I guess it's ok, but if it's talking about Raiders .... who cares.

I'm betting the theory is we as Redskin fans would be still interested in what's being said about JC.
#1- JC has moved on and so have I.
#2- I'm betting there was just some itsy bitsy half sentence about JC and the whole article was about all the other players. So again why would we care?

and.... not to toot my own horn, I've been a member for a while and have posted many of comments, but as of yet even being a Redskin fan on a Redskin board I have not once felt the need to make a new thread. It amazes me that fans of other teams feel the need to show up and start one every other day.

wow, that was a little harsh. pull my thread starting priviledges? let's leave that one up to Matty.

also, i'm a redskins fan who happens to be a writer. that website has asked me to write bout the Raiders (in addition to weekly columns on the redskins). is that okay?

also, if you've never started a thread.... fine. to each his own. if you have a personal problem with me, also fine, i guess. but as i said, there's plenty of general nfl stuff on this board. if you only want to read the Redskins stuff, that's cool. no one's forcing you to click on threads you dont care about.

you might not have been trying to be a jerk, but you sure came off as one.

the skins had plenty of talent on the team two years ago and, after a strong start, finished 8-8. why? coaching. The raiders are a joke across the board when it comes to coaching and they wont be making the playoffs any time soon.

I like your writing Rainy, but voluntary mod camp ended for me yesterday (thank you very much Dreamseatfan!), so it's time to re-inforce this rule

Thread locked

I'm re-opening the thread. Rainy you're good, it's the people that come in only to promote their blogs that the rule is intended for. But going forward I would suggest promoting only Redskins related articles to get a better response from folks here. Thanks

D*** next time maybe SmootSmack will think twice before not showing up for voluntary Mod camp!

It's ok, I get it. He's just trying to send a message to me. I'll tell you what though....I'm skipping voluntary mod camp next year as well

Like I've told Rainy, I like his writing both on and off this board. And I'd much rather lock a lot of other threads, and SBXVII's post was pretty ridiculous. But to Matty's point, I followed the letter of the rule without regard to the spirit of the rule.

So with that in mind, I'm going to leave camp again, go home and think about what I've done...
