    Raiders Still the Laughing Stock of the NFL

    Tommy Kelly with back to back offsides on the same drive on 3rd down and now this punting/long snapping debacle

    This team belongs in the Special Olympics Bowl

    Why do people think the Raiders are going to be good, year after year? I don't see anyone touting the potential of any of the other league doormats following multiple years of crushing defeats. No one bets on the rams, jaguars, browns, or Dolphins. Yet, every year, it's a "whole new year and a whole new attitude for the Raiders!"

    Wouldn't matter. Winning is as much about culture as it is physical talent. Short of signing a Harbaugh or Bellicheat, Raiders will always disappoint.

    Do most teams have a backup longsnapper? I feel like that is a waste of a roster spot....I mean how often does your longsnapper get injured in a game? My guess is not often.

    If you're a Raider hater, great day for you
    but, I'm a gambler and I learned that the Raiders allowed 32 rushing yards
    made San Diego kick 5 field goals
    Raiders were dropping passes

    I will remember tidbits of info for when I cap their other games, spreads and totals

    The defense was good, but those snaps to the punter were hilarious.

    No, but most coaches on most teams have a position player on their squad capable of long snapping.

    Just like in baseball, some teams don't carry a third catcher, all teams don't carry a fourth catcher, however most (even though all managers) should know that one of their outfielders for instance could catch in an emergency, for instance if that player caught some in college or a was a catcher in HS.............
