On the bright side good ole Norv is coming to town

[Warpath]

Did I miss something? I thought this thread was about good ole Norv coming back to DC. The field will be loud as sh*t. I know I'll be there screaming my head off.

[itvnetop]

the raiders look horrible so far... they are always down big, having to toss the ball late to catch up.

the D can't play prevent if we're up big.

[Luxorreb]

As part of the 12th man I promise we'll all do our best to make sure Norv has a really shitty day.

I do fear Moss and the other Raiders WR behind a cannon like Collins. Hopefully Taylor will play as well as Griffin and reguardless hopefully we'll be able to keep the WR's in front of us. If Simms can light it up with Galloway consistantly don't think Collins won't got deep to Moss. Over and over again. I'm sorry but Harris, Prioleau, Bowen or Rogers can't defend Moss. If Taylor plays we won't have a problem with Springs and Taylor supporting. Can we call up Garnell Wilds for this one? LOL. All of our remaining games are 'must wins' and all of them will be tough games. At this point I don't underestimate any team in the NFL. Niners beat Bucs we blow out Niners, lose to Bucs, etc etc.

Let's make it 5-0 at home and the LOUDEST Fed Ex has EVER been!!! Make some noise SUNDAY!!!

Some random thoughts about Norvell Turner...

Some good points
Norv is really a class act. After what he went through here w/ Mr. Snyder he really shouldn't have any good things to say about the owner or organization, but he did.
Norv, I thought did a great job w/ the offense during the time he was here (w/ moderate talent).
Had he gotten a couple breaks here and there things could have been much different.

Some bad points...
I'm not sure that players respected him after getting tongue lashed by MR. Snyder after every loss
His teams were always so undisciplined, making stupid mistakes to cost us games.

It seemed like during the Norvell years we lost a ton of games by a touchdown or less, b/c of mental breakdowns and a lack of discipline, and in the end thats what did him in.

I really wish him luck, just not this week.

You're right, any season COULD turn into a disaster. The great thing is that we know Norv Turner IS a disaster. He'll do whatever it takes to blow this game for his team if it's close. I feel very good about our chances this week for a number of reasons, I honestly can't believe someone else hired this guy.

These next FOUR games are all WINS. If we lose anyone of them, we suck.

[Luxorreb]

Come on Bozzy...
We've lost 3 of our 4 games by a score.
We don't suck. We can play with any team in the league.
We just have to come out on top from now on.
I think this will hopefully teach Gibbs to run up the score when possible.
I bet Andy Reid is thinking the same thing.
Go for the throat til the game is over.

WOW, Raider Nation in town! I guess it has to be hell for the Darth Vader look alikes. It must have been hard deciding weather to come to a football game or marching dressed up in a parade that is held weekly in San Fransico.

[RedskinRat]

Norv Turner sounds like Elmer Fudd.

That's all I have to contribute.

Dont count out the Raiders and Norv. He is a hell of a play caller against aggressive defenses. Especially the first two drives that he usually scripts, with audibles already in the game plan. Plus Moss is healthy, Porter and Jordan give them a couple more options. With the way our D has played, the Raiders have the kind of attack that could put up alot of points. That said, there D is kinda week, but have been playing well against the run lately. We should be able to put some points up, I just hope we score about 45 this week. That should atleast give us enough points to hold up if the D goes in toilet agian this week.

Also keep in mind this is a warm weather team traveling across country for a 1pm kickoff and its gonna be COLD sunday!

Yeah, I'm with #56fanatic and PSUskinsfan11 on this one. Norv's overall history will generally be regarded as a failure, but really, he lost only 10 more games than he won in Washington, and he NEVER had a good defense to help him out.

In today's NFL, you cannot discount any team nor their coach.

What's the forecast?? I hope it's COLD!!! I really need a W this week. I might kill myself if I have to listen to all my friends(Raider fans)talk shit for the next couple of years. This is a must win in my book!

Actually, it's not as warm in Oakland as you might think.
