Playoff Synopsis...

So here we are again. It’s time to get ready for the mighty Raiders once again. For the first time in many, many years, we are in a position to make the final push to the playoffs. This week should go the way of game one with the Nation, as it appears that at the slightest inkling of negativity, this team throws their proverbial hands in the air and pitches the towel in. That being said, with a two week rest for our ailing groins, and some time to regroup, we should just continue to roll down this golden paved road. So where do we possibly go from here? Let’s talk about what needs to happen in order for the Golden Squad to be playing in January.

Four of the last seven Sundays need to be put in the victory column. We have to go through the most unpredictable group of footballers (Chiefers), Big Brother Manning, and then the Ponies from Kobe-land. In order to do that a couple of things must happen… wait, what the hell am I talking about? It’s Raider week again for crying out loud! For the first time in some time, it has become that magical time in all of our collective Bolt lives, it’s broom time, get ‘em out cause we got some sweepin’ to do.

Time to pound Pirate town, prison style. Abuse them like the step-child that put an empty milk carton back in the fridge. The kind of beating that only happens after a 17 hour binge in Vegas, complete with that blackjack dealer who takes your money, insults you and then laughs in your face. I want this team to waltz into Pirate town, pillaging and plundering all the way. I want them to score enough six pointers to burn out all the light bulbs in the Jumbo-tron, make off with their cheerleaders, arms raised in the air, middle fingers extended, shouting our praises as we head off into the sunset leaving behind nothing but the remains of the “Nation” in our wake. Get ready for “Charger Power” Oakland…
