This past Saturday the Oakland Raiders opened their 2007 season at home when they hosted and beat The Arizona Cardinals 27-23. While there is an entire season to play, it will be interesting to watch Lane Kiffin, they youngest head coach in Raider history, and his team attempt to turn things around in Oakland this year. Since I'm a Raider fan I obviously have biases, however it sure was good to see the boys in black and silver get the "W" again, especially after last season.
It should be noted that Arizona played Matt Leinart only one quarter and running back Edgerin James in just two series in the game. Although, The Raiders were without No. 1 overall draft pick JaMarcus Russel and that Dante Culpepper did not enter until there was 9:38 left in the third quarter.

Yeah, well, we all know that after week one, the Lions will be 1-0 if you catch my drift.
They didnt start the season... It was a Pre-Season game. Meaningless.
At some level, I hope the Raiders become a relevant team again, but, they are 2 to 3 seasons and several high level draft picks away...
.. and it is the pre-season, which is less than meaningless.
