What’s it going to take? What’s it going to take to get rid of the losing stigma that has been prevalent in the Raiders fortunes for over 15 years? It’s a burning question that haunts the once-dominate, “Just Win Baby” franchise of the Oakland Raiders. Except for that 3 year period from 2000-2002, which culminated in a Super Bowl appearance, the Raiders have not had that long, dominate run of winning seasons that ruled the AFL/AFC in the 60s, 70s & 80s.
As a fan, it frustrates you. I’m sure every player and coach in the McAfee Stadium locker room is frustrated. And, I’m definitely sure Al Davis is frustrated.
But, again I ask…what’s it going to take???
Rich Gannon, CBS announcer and former Oakland Raider QB, touched on it toward the end of the game he was broadcasting vs. New Orleans. I’m paraphrasing here, but, essentially, he said, someone in the Raiders organization is going to have step and do something to right the ship. He didn’t mention who, or whether it be a player, a coach or, even Mr. Davis.
