Typical Raiders: Not 'MY' fault
Column by Dave Del Grande
SEVERAL RAIDERS are falling back on the "we were flat" excuse in describing how an embarrassment such as Monday's could go down. Frankly, I'm not buying it.
"We were flat" is the lamest excuse in sports.
First off, "we" rarely means "we." It usually means "a bunch of my teammates." It's a way of pointing fingers without your teammates realizing exactly who's being blamed.
They, in turn, can say, "I agree. We were flat." And in doing so, they've passed the culpability even farther down the locker-room line.
The Raiders were not flat Monday night. They were demoralized. There's a difference.
Had ReShard Lee returned the opening kickoff 95 yards, nobody would be calling the Raiders "flat" today.
The same is true had LaMont Jordan gone 69 yards, rather than 4, the first time he touched the ball, or if Aaron Brooks had hooked up with Randy Moss for a 50-yard score rather than missing Roland Williams, prompting the club's first punt.
Soon thereafter, it became clear Robert Gallery couldn't block Shawne Merriman, Moss couldn't beat double- and triple-teaming, and the Raiders couldn't stop LaDainian Tomlinson. That had nothing to do with being flat.
Today, OK, the Raiders are flat. Having been punched in the gut big-time by a heavyweight, the Raiders likely have a feeling of hopelessness. They need the 49ers on the schedule, not the Ravens. They have little hope of competing Sunday.
So what's the solution? One thing is clear: Al Davis needs to have a sitdown with Art Shell and Jerry Porter and iron things out. The Raiders aren't going anywhere with a key member of their attack — someone who can give Moss some breathing room — yucking it up with the fans while his mates are getting their butts whipped.
The guy has to play and has to be happy enough to produce. If Shell quits over it, so be it. He's expendable. After all, he looked flat Monday night.
DATELINE: Rock bottom. Getting thumped by a pretty decent AFC team is one thing. Becoming the punch line in 49ers fans' jokes is something else.
I say it's time for the "Humiliation Nation" to strike back. I hereby suggest a new battle cry for 2006: "At Least We're Better Than The 49ers."
In the wake of Week 1, I'm not sure what's more prideless: 49ers faithful upbeat about a seven-point loss to Arizona, or these same bozos celebrating the Raiders' shellacking at the hands of the Chargers.
It was proven in a preseason game last month in Oakland, and it will be reiterated next month in San Francisco: The Raiders are a better team than the 49ers. Nothing that happened in the past four days has changed that.
The 49ers moved the ball well against a team that was last seen surrendering 30 points to the Texans late last season. They also got manhandled by a bad Arizona offensive line, allowing a substandard Cardinals running game to short-circuit San Francisco's desperation comeback bid.
Bottom line: You lost by a significant margin to a team that's going 5-11 this season even in the weakest division in football. If you're standing up and applauding that, you really need to find a Sunday hobby.
Watching the 49ers' loss had to have the Raiders asking: When do we get to play Arizona?
That'll be Oct.22, capping a five-week stretch in which the schedule-maker has airmailed the Raiders three "byes."
Yes, the Oct. 8 visit to San Francisco is one of them.
DATELINE: A new home. Stanford is the Raiders of college football. After a loss to San Jose State, the Cardinal is so low right now, it needs a telescope to see Oski's belly.
But that can all change Saturday with the opening of Stanford's new stadium. All is forgiven if the Cardinal can beat a formidable Navy squad.
The line of candidates to be 2007 Stanford football coach starts at the stadium's north exit should the Midshipmen prevail.

I understand as a fan..you have to have hope for your team....but reality HAS to sink in sometime brother....9ers have a better OL(although not by much)...they have a better RB,better QB(even if he is inexperienced) and a slightly better D...
