Typical freaking Raiders

Imagine it, you have a bad Houston Texans team on your home turf. You've held the illustrious David Carr to 32 yards passing all game. You actually held a 14-7 lead at halftime. How do you contrive to lose? Well, when you're the Raiders, you find a way. There's a so-called committment to excellence here, after all. Committment to the tune of five turnovers (5! What are we? Rex Grossman?!) and good old Sea Bass going 0-3 on field goals. Houston didn't win this game, oh no. Oakland lost it. I suppose the only thing sadder is that Detroit also lost, yesterday, so we're still tied for the #1 overall pick in the draft. Next week, Raiders travel to Cincinnati. Better avert your eyes because it's going to get ugly.
