Default Dear Mr. Aaron Brooks

I would like to thank you for your horrendous play yesterday. I have come to expect some comediness and bet accordingly, in both fantasy and sports wagering. You had an all time GREAT game where you actually got sacked more times then you completed passes. If you didn't audible into those three hot routes to Moss, you would have gotten sacked TWICE the amount of times that you completed passes. Please continue this course of action so I can retire by January 2007. Again, thank you very much

Yours truly,

Scav

It is comedy he is even in the NFL. Plenty of great athelets have come from this area and he is the last one that anyone around here thought would make it as far as he as.

The best part is the upside potential of Vince Young is Aaron Brooks.

Did you guys watch the same game that I did?
Blaming Brooks for that loss would be the equivalent of blaming a jockey for his horse being beaten 30 lengths in a race.
Joe Montana in his prime wasn't gonna win that game for the Raiders. The offensive line is the worst I've ever seen. In case you guys didn't notice, the Raiders only gained 20 yards rushing as well.
I don't know how you guys can blame that guy for being sacked. That was all offensive line.
The guy may not be a star but he was a victim of the lack of protection last night and certainly not the reason that they lost the game.

Brooks held on to the ball TOO long Mike. it wasn't entirely his fault but he looked like Albarado on the rail. Horrible play calling also by the Raiders, Art Shell needs to sharpen that head of his

I needed 18 points from the Chargers D last night and I got 33

5pts - Less then 150 yards
10 pts - Shutout
18 pts - NINE (9) sacks
2 pts - fumble recovery

GOTTA love it and D was my question mark going into the season(have Atlanta also), but I absolutely hate this 1am (2am EST) finish time, BOOTLEG

Yeah, Merriman is the truth, dude is insanely quick, they kept on talking about him and LT in the same breath, which is quite amazing

You can't blame brooks for that loss. He was part of the problem but not all of it. The line sucked but more then that quick name the 2nd and 3rd wide recievers for the raiders.... Moss had 4 people on him the whole night. Lamont jordan looked pathetic and i have to say, art shell is the worst game manager, ever. He just can't manage a game. Brooks is not the greatest qb in the world but he does have a talent.

Toilet Bowl match-up 2006; GREEN BAY versus OAKLAND. Very long season for both!

It's going to be a long season for Moss, because teams know, that as long as they shut him down, they will win. But Aaron Brooks is pretty bad. Has been for years, the Raiders were better off with Kerry Collins.

Does this mean we'll soon see Jeff George?
That O line was the worst I've ever seen, they blocked no one!
This week, they get to play the Ravens...LOL!
Say hello to my little friend, Ray Lewis!

The Raiders may make the top of the list of teams I would not want to play RB or QB for. But here is what is interesting. Offensive lines take time to gel. They still might improve. And I also love a team getting totally humiliated one week, as a play for the next. So watch the line with the Ravens. The Raiders defense was admirable considering how long they were on the field.
