FIRST-HALF BLESSING: Hmm, well . . . blossoming franchise QB? No. Exciting RB of the future? Not really. Dominant first-round stud WR? Yuck, no way. Thank goodness for the Raiderettes.
FIRST-HALF CURSE: As easy as it’d be to put this embarrassment on all the off-field issues surrounding coach Tom Cable these days, the Raiders are marching toward an NFL record seventh straight season with 10-plus losses thanks to an owner desperately living in the past.
THIS WEEK: vs. Chiefs (1-7)

Ya gotta love JaMarcus Russell. If everyone in the world had his outlook, we’d all be much happier. He told reporters after losing to the Chargers that he felt he “played pretty good.” In the year of the QB, the guy throws for 109 yards with zero TDs, one interception and loses yet again . . . eh, no worries, man. Seriously, we all need some “JaMarcus Goggles.” This economy? Whatever, It’s all good. Wife left you? Fantastic! Dog ran away? Cool, just get another one.

How exactly did the Raiders win two games this season, including one over the Eagles? Somehow, Oakland sandwiched the Philly shocker with absolutely embarrassing efforts against the New York Giants and Jets — losing by a combined score of 82-7. Props to Tom Cable for finally sitting JaMarcus Russell down, not that Bruce Gradkowski is a difference-maker. But judging from Russell’s recent public comments, he still doesn’t get what it takes to be a real-life professional quarterback.
THIS WEEK: at Chargers (3-3)
