the Raiders need a new stadium to fully turn the corner

I learned about something called the "broken windows theory" in college....it basically says that, if a neighborhood has a lot of run down buildings with broken windows and stuff, you will be more likely to commit a crime in that area, like graffiti, littering, raping etc.

If you are in a nice well kept neighborhood, you will fall in line and be respectful of your surroundings.

I think this might be part of the reason why the Raiders constantly lead the league in penalties.....but the 9ersalso also play in a dump, dont have a lot of penalties. So, its the stadium + the raiders/Al Davis reputation and the teams reputation as bad boys.

I don't really think that has anything to do with the penalties at all... but I may be wrong. just my opinion.

I don't know enough about Winston Moss to say if I'd like that move or not... but that would be a HUGE change having a defensive HC... when was the last time we had a defensive minded head coach... long time ago

The bump and run scheme doesn't work well when the corners are afraid to bump the receiver.
When Routt tried to do it he held on long enough for the PI.
8-8 isn't good enough. At least we got someone new to blame when things go wrong.

these are niners fans we're talking about here. they care more about what's going on with the raiders than their own team. doesn't matter if we talk shit about the niners or not. they have deep seeded emotional problems with the raiders for whatever reason.
