Part III: Top 3 Wide Receivers during Raiders’ “Dark Age”

AFC West, Analysis, Raiders History, Randy Moss, Sports History / By Micah Schneidermann

Denarius Moore’s consistent play was enough to put him higher on this list than Curry even though Curry had more receiving yards.

Either way, real fans can appreciate how far the Raiders have come from those days and enjoy even more the present day success.

Raiders Editorial: Megatron? Let’s take a step back Raider Nation

AFC West, Editorial / By Mario Tovar

It’s amazing what a few years can do to the fortunes of a franchise; from hiring the right boss to making sound decisions in free agency and of course, drafting the “right” talent.

Quite early for Peters to post bulletin board material as the teams won’t meet until October 19th for a Week 7 “Thursday Night Football” showdown under the lights of primetime television.Â The long-time rivals have found a newly competitive distaste for one another as both teams haven’t been as talented or league-wide successful in quite some time.
