Somebody give "Ol' Grigs" a call, I think we could all use an "It's RAAAIIIIIDDDDERRRRSS WEEK," right about now.

Three years ago, the Raider Nation thought it witnessed the worst possible offense in the history of their franchise, as Art Shell tapped Tom Walsh to run his offense.

Oakland running back Darren McFadden is expected to be ready to return in Week 10, especially considering the additional rest he'll get with this week's bye.

LIKE COAL miners and infantrymen, the Raiders are accustomed to carrying on regardless of conditions.

Malcom Floyd looks to help the Chargers make it 13 straight against the Raiders.

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.

Justin Fargas has been stirring the pot lately, making a case that he is the best running back in Oakland.

Last week is last week. Nothing went right. Lets be real, our season lies in the balance of this next game.

Oakland Raiders' JaMarcus Russell reacts to throwing a interception in the first quarter of their NFL game against the New York Jets at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, in Oakland, Calif., on Sunday, Oct.

The following was filmed before a live studio audience in lovely downtown Burbank..... Welcome to Guess that Grade! I'm your host Wink Woolery and today we're going to get our guess on as we try and figure out which Raider got which grade.

Oakland, right now, is 2-5, facing an upcoming divisional opponent and has issues of maturity in its quarterback, JaMarcus Russell.

First off, I'm going to say that that was just an amazing play by Derrelle Revis.

For the first time in his football life, JaMarcus Russell was being told he wasn't good enough.

When you lose a 6'4", 360-pounder, you're not going to replace him with just one guy.

The Raiders had a good gameplan to offset the Eagles' attacking defense. Yesterday, we did the offense .

It's simply that the Raiders have won one game in a row before. The trick now is to turn this into a win streak and not merely a tripped-over acorn.

Two weeks ago, Gary Russell was an out-of-work running back, hanging out with his children.

THE Raiders REBOUNDED from one of their worst-ever losses with one of their least-expected wins Sunday, using a wholly unanticipated methodology.

Offense: JaMarcus Russell had his best passer rating this season , but he lost three fumbles and was sacked six times, and the Raiders had just 124 net yards.

Seriously, was everyone on the offense going to take Sunday's 44-7 shellacking so quietly? Judging by the cricket chirps in the Raiders' huddle, the answer turned out to be yes.
