Full story: San Gabriel Valley Tribune

Al chose to fire Kiffen and keep Ryan. Our defense sucks and so does Al. AL must relinquish control of the team Al is the cancer of the Raider orginization. Why dosent the NFL commission step in remove Al from power? I dont care if he is the majority owner. The NFL must step in remove Al and return a once successfull franchise back into contention.

The Raiders are the joke of the league thanks to AL DAVIS.

gotta stop with the jump on al davis thing! davis has put big money for players that should have produced and have failed to do so. rob ryan's D is predictable and cable did not assemble this team. also injuries have plagged our team. cable does not use that as an excuse but honestly, it does not help the matter. what do we expect? kiffin did not do us any help! do you want to blame al davis for that too? at 5-15?(LOL) put out or get out! cable has not won many games but has put out! al davis has put out but players haven't. stay cool gentlemen! GO RAIDERS!!!

The Chargers ran the ball 12 consecutive times a few weeks ago on us. And not ONCE in that series did we blitz them.

I am not sure what the means but something has got to change with our defensive philosophy.

I think that's why (Lane) Kiffin wanted to hire his dad to run the defense. Look at what Monte Kiffin did for Tampa Bay's defense all these years. I think they wanted to coach together but I think (Monte) Kiffin could've done better with our defense.

monte would have been a better D coach. i agree, but he was not available. al told kiffin to wait another year and monte would be free. but! kiffin,wanted to take him out of tampa just as he did with our o-line coach with two games left! but i do not disagree. GO RAIDER!!!!

Al Davis chased away Shanahan and Denver has 2 Superbowl rings under him then, he chased away Chuckie and they whipped our azzez in the Superbowl cuz idiot coach Callahan never changed the playbook. Then we get Art Shell back for one season. All of these decisions were Al's. Kiffen just needed a year to get the Raiders together and he would have put aq great team together but Al Davis got rid of him too. I love the Raiders but I dont go to anymore games. F AL DAVIS!

Could not tell from looking at the stands from last weeks game. But then again, who wants to pay big bucks so close to Christmas to watch two losers who wont even be in the playoffs...again.
