Oakland Raiders Tickets - Team History

Aside from a twelve year stint in Los Angeles, the Oakland Raiders have been terrorizing the Bay Area since 1960. Playing their home games in The Coliseum, Raider Nation is known as one of the toughest, most die-hard group of fans in any professional sport. The silver and black faithful are well-versed in tormenting their beloved Raiders opponents, helping make The Coliseum one of the most difficult arenas for NFL teams to visit.

Oakland Raiders Tickets - 2011 Season Info

An 8-8 2010 was a drastic improvement for a team that hadn't won more than 5 games in a season since the Rich Gannon era in 2002, and 2011 just might be even better for the Raiders. The health of running back Darren McFadden, the team's first round pick in 2008, is crucial to a team that ranked second in the league in rushing last season. When healthy, McFadden is a bigger, stronger version of Reggie Bush, capable of breaking games open with his speed and elusiveness. Unlike Bush, however, McFadden can run between the tackles with regularity and shoulder the bulk of the team's carries. The Raiders have struggled with filling the quarterback position since Gannon's retirement. Inconsistencies, injuries, and the dubious selection of former LSU standout JaMarcus Russell first overall in 2007 have plagued the team and weighed the offense down. Currently helmed by veteran Jason Campbell, the Raiders possess dangerous weapons in Jacoby Ford and Darius Heyward-Bey, the surehanded and increasingly reliable Louis Murphy, and a more than serviceable tight end in the rapidly improving Zach Miller.

Oakland Raiders Tickets - 2011 Schedule

Though they have to travel in weeks 1 and 2, the Raiders should be favored to begin their season 2-0, with visits to Denver and Buffalo offering a good chance to start the year on a high note. Back-to-back home games against the Jets and Patriots in weeks 3 and 4 will be a stiffer test, yet it's as good a bet as any that Oakland's faithful will pack the stadium and serve as an effective 12th man for their hometown squad.

Oakland Raiders Tickets - The Players

Jason Campbell is the starting quarterback and has actually been productive compared to his days in Washington. Darren McFadden has been a monster in the backfield and has been carrying the team down the field. Darius Heyward-Bey and Jacoby Ford are young receivers who could develop and be a good target for an underachieving quarterback. The Raiders have one of the worst run defenses in the NFL and with the loss of Nnamdi Asomghua their pass defense just got worse too. We'll see how this young team develops, but as of now the organization cannot live up to Raider Nation expectation.
