To speak about the feelings fan have had about the Oakland Raiders in this last decade, they would obviously have mixed feelings. Good times and bad times are a simple way of putting the Raiders last ten seasons, of course, there are those certain things about our history that have affected our present woes of today. You can't quite name all of them, because there are a number of famous moments, but to name a few, including the AFC Championship verse the Patriots dubbed "The Worst Call of All Time" (you what I speak of). The case of Barret Robbins, former starting center of the Superbowl XXXVII Raiders team who for some reason disappeared hours before the game started. It wasn't Robbins fault for the most part, because it was from Gannon's arm that three interceptions were caught and taken to the house.
What is important is that it all comes down to management, decisions such as the firing of Jon Gruden basically set our fate for the Superbowl, and it continues with the hiring of Tom Cable. In these last seven years, the Raiders seemed to be at the bottom of the football food chain, in which they had no way to go but up, but now it just looks like this organization had sunk deeper than ever before.
It is certain that Raider fans and their faith for the Silver and Black is as high as it could ever be, but changes need to be in order. Not to crash the party and degrade the Hall of Fame coach and owner in Al Davis, because he has many accomplishments that are still to this day cherished, but it seems that Davis is still living in the past. It is a matter of recruiting, and finding the right personnel to fit in to the right places. The Oakland Raiders, due to the decisions in personnel and lack of pride have made this team heroes to zeroes. The future will hold the key.
