An agreement was reached to have the San Diego Chargers move to Los Angeles and share a stadium with the Rams.

Where does this leave the Oakland Raiders? They were denied the Los Angeles bid. They are currently trying to get a stadium in San Antonio or in Las Vegas. It’s going to be interesting where they end up. Could it be Oakland? San Antonio? San Diego? Las Vegas?

It will be intriguing.

I think the Oakland Raiders should remove the O in their name. Absolutely pathetic display of offense, as it was completely offensive. I think my Alma Mater could’ve stopped them today. Well, back to the drawing board.

The Texans are the Raiders’ next opponent. 1st overall pick Jadeveon Clowney may have torn his meniscus in his knee, so I believe, if he’s out, Raiders will crush the Texans. Otherwise, expect some changes in the coaching ranks.

It’s been a disastrous year for the Raiders since they started 4-6 and then lost 6 in a row to finish 4-12. Granted, that’s 4 more wins than some knucklehead predicted. The Raiders easily could’ve had 9 wins. They need to finish games in which they have a lead then they’ll be alright in future seasons.

Here we are, at Week 17 of the 2013 NFL Season. The Raiders matched their win total from 2012.

However, they’ve lost five straight and they face the Broncos in Oakland on Sunday, so unless Peyton Manning sits, they have no chance of finishing 5-11.

Who’s to blame? While the roster is still full of Al Davis rejects, I blame Coaches Dennis Allen and Jason Tarver for not having the defense ready in the second half of games and the second half of the season. Look for those two to be given their pink slips by December 30, especially if the Raiders lay an egg against Denver defensively.

Things should turn around in 2014.

I’m going to talk about something I saw on Bleacher Report that bothered me. There was an article called “How the Raiders became the least talented team in the NFL.” Instinctively I read it and judging from my own thoughts, and the responses to the article from some of the readers, it became apparent that the writer of that article didn’t know that “the least talented team” is no longer that thanks to Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie’s diligent efforts. That article is obsolete. Say the Raiders were like a chicken that one buys at the store. What do you do to a chicken once you cook it? Remove the fat and throw the fat in the garbage. Well, for McKenzie the fat was out-of-whack contracts...
