Yeah Justin Fargas is doing damage so far; and new guy I'm guy who does the game thread every week nobody has posted on the other since Monday.

Shane Lechler has the strongest leg in the league and has boomed some 60 yarders today.

KWell, it's back to one touchdowns, for the 10th time in 12 weeks. Has 305 total yards ever been so meaningless? At least the Bruce Gradkowski-run offense isn't killing the team.

A big win in dramatic fashion is the best medicine for a struggling team. It doesna t get much better than scoring 10 points in the last 33 seconds of the game to knock off the Bengals last week.

Raiders punter Shane Lechler is an All-Pro, a Pro Bowler and the NFL record holder for career average.

Sunday's matchup betweenA Kansas City andA Oakland won't be one of two teams battling for first place in the AFC West.

Raiders punter Shane Lechler is chasing the ghost of Slingin' Sammy Baugh, and has been all his NFL life.

You don't expect to have many "All-Time Greatest Single Season" conversations about a two-win team with a so-fired coach and the worst offense in the NFL .

Javon Walker, signed by the Raiders in 2008 to be their No. 1 receiver, has asked for his release.

The Oakland Raiders' ineptitude on offense has been a boon to Shane Lechler in his bid to break the NFL's single-season punting record.
