Ya before i left to work i saw mjd was meeting with raiders pls sum. My fav UCLA player

why the fuck do the raiders sign the oldest players possible, again and again..?

MJD agreed to terms on a contract. Taking his physical early tomorrow morning, then it will be official.

Three year contract

apparently if i make a topic on jsp on my kindle it says im using a proxy lol...

now for my message

Raiders officially sign Maurice Jones-Drew via Raider app:

Im so in love with the Raiders atm. Watching Mojo play @ UCLA was awesome too bad Mercedes Lewis hasnt had as much promise that MJD had... MJD is getting old but he has that special punch still.

Matt Schaub and Maurice Jones-Drew. If this was a few years ago that would be an incredible pro bowl caliber backfield. Maybe the Oakland Raiders will catch some lightning in a bottle and resurrect their careers. At least the Raiders are trying to put together a winning team. Adding Justin Tuck will likely turn out to be their best off-season addition. With a little bit of luck and those guys playing at a high level again the Raiders may have a wild-card team in the AFC.

You guys act like MJD is 35+ rofl

I know his years in the league he was a workhorse but keep in mind he's splitting that backfield with McFadden, Murray, and Sheets.

edit: and not to mention one of the best fullbacks in the league

Oh fuck he's only 29, I thought he was like 32.



Ain't gonna happen with our schedule. Maybe next year when we aren't playing the NFC West LOL.

Well Arizona and the Rams could have down years. But the fact we play Seattle and the 49ers, the Patriots, the Broncos twice. And then I can see the Browns and Miami actually being good next year.

But strength of schedule in my opinion is a very over valued metric. So many things change from season to season. Injuries really ruin teams. The Falcons went from being in the NFC championship game to being a bottom 10 team. The Redskins went from having hope and a future to being the Redskins we know. The Ravens went from winning the Super Bowl to not making the playoffs. But I guess the fact they lost Lewis and some other guys and Pitta getting injured could be argued that was to be expected. And the Steelers played like absolute dog shit until the latter part of the season.

I mean i certainly agree our chances look grim based on our schedule, but I mean things can be different and most likely will be. The parity in the NFL is very much relevant. Sure you have teams who consistently are relevant but there are countless surprises and new faces being in the hunt every year.

I'd say hoping for a playoff appearance is wishful thinking but even though the offseason could have arguably went a lot better, we have done well in my opinion. We are for sure a better team than we have been in recent years. I'm pretty excited to see where we go this season. We still got a draft and maybe more to go down. It's a good time for the Raiders. But who knows, maybe we will go down some more years of being dogshit.

Resigned Pat Sims. I think that's a huge resigning. Along with Woodson, he was the player I wanted back most from last year's team.
