I am moving all my blogs to Active, this was origionally written 9/25/07

So it took me a day to come down from the high that is a Raiders win! I mean it had been 11 games since the silver and black were victorious, and I stood by them. It might not have been the ideal way to win, but it was a win none the less, and all that complaining I did last week about calling late time outs to ice a kicker, just forget about it. Though, the Raiders did prove their worth by coming through and blocking the second kick not just icing the kicker so that it was missed.

Lets just say after that many losses a win might send a fan off the deep end. Here comes the girlie part of my sports fandom. I definitely rushed online Monday morning and ordered a Raiders Bikini. I mean I live in a beach town and there are times when it is just too hot to wear a jersey, and for those occasions I still want to show my allegiance, and in 3-5 business days, I will be able to do just that. I also am a bit more confident in my previously decided Raiderette Halloween costume. It's always good if they win a game before I go out in San Diego dressed as the enemy.

I am not saying that this win is going to turn around the season or anything. I am still predicting 5 wins, but that is just because I would rather under predict and have them over deliver. I mean there are still obviously issues and short comings. It seems that this year the defense is finally living up to expectations, but as soon as the offense finally puts the team in the situation to lose the defense gets a little loser and lets the Browns get the one play they need to get an opportunity to score, a pass to the sidelines. Even in game 1 it looked like the Raiders might pull it off, but the defense could not hold it together in the end. Don't get me wrong I am still a big fan of the Raiders defense; I mean this year I am having a hard time deciding between a Morrison and Asomugha jersey, but come on guys "offense sells tickets defense wins games." Don't let it fall apart in the fourth Quarter.

I am hopeful that the Raiders can go into Miami and get W number 2. Who knows who exactly will start, but it was nice to get a hint of Culpepper last week, in fact the entire bar, in San Diego deep in the heart of chargers territory I might add, cheered when he was put in for one play in the first half. The most exciting thing besides the win to come out of the weekend is the fact that I can now say "We are tied with the Chargers." For some reason all the **** talking that plagues my email, my text messages, and me personally every day is suddenly silenced, and those who have the courage to try this week lack clout and I can easily rebuttal.

In closing... Go Raiders!!! And Come on KC!!
