Chaz Schilens who has shown what we had hoped he would show us all along.

John Henderson for playing hurt.

Rolando McClain for not allowing anything to distract HIM.

Chris Johnson for shaking off the rust and making at least one play that should have been a reception an incomplete pass.

We are not out of the play off hunt, but I consider this game taking the rope and tying the hang man's knot. It is not around our necks yet, but it is close.

Another game like this, and I know this team does not belong in the play offs.

I understand another couple of players got dinged up, including John Henderson.

Let's hope we get some of our offensive walking wounded back, and that our defensive guys can heal up, because we are dangerously thin in several areas.

Regardless, if the team, and I use that term loosely at this time, plays like it did against the Dolphins, we will not win any more games. All the hard work will have been for naught, and it will be another meaningless, empty season. Which means we will lose some of our key soon to be free agents, which is more bad news.

So there it is, the bad, the worse and the worst.

If there is anything to take from this game, it is that Mr. Davis knew a talented player when he saw one. Now we just need to use them properly, and at this moment, I do not know if the coaching staff knows how to do that.

Shape it up gentlemen, while there is still time, and we can make the play offs.

That's all I have.

As ever,

Win, lose or tie, RAIDERS til I DIE!
