Calls are getting louder for John Mara to step down....

But ya can't just fire the owner (as Raider fans know).
He's gonna become the new Al Davis if Tisch doesn't step in ...
LOL, not even close to Davis level chicanery, we spent too many years laughing at Jerry Jones for that.
Nevertheless, now that Gettleman is about to be gone, if the next man up doesn't strike gold with our wealth of draft pics next year, there will have to be a conversation.
I still blame this garbage fire of a team on 10 years of draft mis-management from Jerry Reese. The great Ernie Accorsi built is up one of the Best O-Lines in football, stuck his neck out for what became a pending HOF QB in Eli Manning, and made the pass rush a monster, then retired.
Welligton died, Ernie retired, and Blue simply hasn't been able to find the right hires ever since, which is tough, because the team has been in a state of slow decay since Ernie packed it up in 2007. We carried the momentum and won another Superbowl a few years after (should have been two more, fucking Plaxico), so a lot of people didn't notice while I was complaining about bad draft picks and shitty free agent choices when the team was still playing well.
Dave Gettleman made sense as a call back, he was a Director of player personnel under Accorsi. Clearly though it didn't work out.
He actually did a great job cleaning up our salary cap disaster that Jerry Reese left behind. He just couldn't find the picks though, so now we have to assume next man up will be a thing.
The Mara's are not going anywhere, we turn 100 years old in 3 more years, but one playoff appearance every 5 years is not going to cut it for us. If whoever the next GM is doesn't make serious improvements, ownership will have to take a serious look at how they do business.
One thing we can always be glad for, at least we are not the Lions.
Or the Jags.
Or the Jets...
It kills me when they get arrested sleeping. They are not being a threat. Yes, they were momentarily before they pulled over. BUt now they are not. So you punish them. THe thing is, never pull over, just keep driving drunk, is the real message. (yes, I know the obvious but still, you will never completely stop people from drinking and driving). This is one of the more obscure reasons that coffee-drinking is a thing at closing time.. Nobody really sobers up, but they don't dare fall asleep. I spose the judge might give consideration, I dunno. Is that why its a misdemeanor and not a felony in this case?
The sleeping in the car DUI is almost as much utter bullshit as the Bicycle DUI. Nevertheless, given the current situation with the Raiders, you would think a starting CB would do better, even if he is a rookie.
