RON T. ENNIS Fort Worth Star-Telegram Raiders running back Darren McFadden gets caught in traffic Thursday at Cowboys Stadium.

Greetings from the gleaming new football palace known as Cowboys Stadium...this place is unreal...follow me on Twitter @paulhgutierrez *******************************************************************************. Being that this game is being televised nationally, expect much less play-by-play today Raiders are wearing throwback "whites," ...

The Raiders haven't left California since they played the New York Giants on the road Oct.

The Oakland Raiders still have the speed to run the vertical stretch offense that became the trademark of the franchise's championship teams of the 1970s and '80s. The Raiders just lack the skill to catch those deep balls any more.

They couldn't run the ball, and until the last drive, they couldn't pass the ball.

Veteran defensive end Greg Ellis, who underwent minor surgeries to both a shoulder and a knee during the bye week and sat out last week's loss top Kansas City, expects to start against Cincinnati.

Johnnie Lee Higgins finally got some groove in at wide receiver, catching double his season total with four receptions for 41 yards.

Raiders defense: Forced a three and out. Raiders fourteenth drive: Russell ran for five yards.

The Raiders and Kansas City renewed their bitter rivalry at the Coliseum with a comedy of errors that neither team found particularly funny.

KC _ Jamaal Charles 44 run ; 6 plays, 66 yards, 1:42 drive time, 12:25 remaining.

Russell doesn't throw to them enough because they don't catch it when he does. This catch-22 has left the Raiders in a catch-28 - the number of receptions by their receivers in the first half of the season.

The Oakland Raiders losing streak against the San Diego Chargers has grown by yet another game.

The Oakland Raiders enter their bye week in similar fashion to the way they started their season: coming off a close loss to the San Diego Chargers and with more allegations being thrown at coach Tom Cable.

The Raiders played better against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday than they did a week earlier in a lopsided loss to the New York Jets.

This is not an offense that can come back from a 14-0 deficit, no matter how first the quarter is.

The Oakland Raiders offense played well enough to support the defense in the upset victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, but if the Raiders need a better output from their offense if they want to take it to the next level.

CBS analyst Charley Casserly said Sunday that Raiders defensive assistant Randy Hanson is scheduled to meet with Napa Valley authorities this week for the second time in regard to allegation that he was assaulted by Raiders coach Tom Cable on Aug.

That worked out great, because Vick said he had no intention of coming to Oakland.
