That's a surprise. The Raiders receivers have been outstanding the last few years.

Yeah fucking right, the only step Al takes down is going to be a six foot drop into a coffin. He will never give up control of that team while he is still breathing. Which sucks for you guys, but that's the way it is.

Jason: stfu

The Rest of you: While he is fired, there is a good chance he will return as part of an offensive staff created by the new head coach.

Walnuts: Raiders receivers sucked this year. Miller had a good year, and Shilens and Higgins stepped it up the last two games. But other then that, Miller was the only good receiver and he is a TE.

I was being sarcastic.

Hard to pick that up online.

Dude, any football fan that would say that about your receiving corps HAS to either be being sarcastic or retarded. I hope you don't think I'm retarded.
I mean, when you are taking OUR castoffs (Lelie), that's never a good sign.
