Nearly 20 years ago Raider HC Mike Shanahan fired a good part of his coaching staff; one of which was offensive line coach Art Shell.  Al Davis then stepped in and said "No, Shell stays."  Shanahan was then fired 4 games into the season with cause and was never paid out the remainder of his contract.  Art Shell then took over as HC and had a winning record as a coach and was questionably fired after a 9-7 1994 season...because he lost the wild card race to arch rival Kansas City??  That's the only reason I can think of.  Shanahan later went on to become…

As you all know the Chargers lost to the Panthers, and the Chiefs lost to the Patriots. So this leaves Monday Night's crucial matchup with Denver will determine who enters Week 2 atop the AFC West.

The play calling in the first half was horrible. How can you win running the ball every down?

Why the Fire Kiffin signs at the game?

Fire Rob Ryan! That "defense" looks pathetic!

I suppose Ashley Lelie is better than anything else we could find off the scrap heap.
