Great news! Bruce has to be very excited.

Now if they can start treating the WR's hands with meat tenderizer maybe they will be able to catch something by Sunday.

Bengals are 7-2 so Bruce is going to have his work cut out for him. Hopefully the Raiders will have a good day.

Maybe I'll dig through the closet and see if I can find my old Raiders hoodie and chains.

Or they can quickly offer Nick Moore a contract.

So, I watched this and understood the coach to say:

"Our ne qua is br graski giv bet chn to win footba ga tha our oth qua ba Rus l" "We ha ful confenc in gra ski to hep te". Go Raiders!

Yeah, coach needs to lay off the beer and sausage before the press conferences.

Actually, I think you are saying that video playback was kind of stuttery. I've had it do that me, too. Sometimes I find that if I let the video play all the way through, then replay it again right away, it will play OK the second time. The NFL website has been kind of slow to load at times lately.

Exac ly. I'll ha to try wha you rec mend. Did na wor firt time I tri, tho. Tan que.

i'm excited to watch bruce starting again. unfortunately, i'm a big bengals fan, and while i wish him a good game - i hope he still loses

this will not be an easy game. no one really wants to believe it, but i think the bengals D is for real this year. they could easily ruin his day.

best of luck bruce - i hope you can build something through the end of the season (without beating my bengals this week...)

I watched him play at the end of last week - and he has shown to be a very accurate passer with improved arm strength. The thing that really struck me is how physically smaller he seemed to be. He was always listed as about 6'1 or 6'2" and 225#. He looked like he was 5'11" and 180# out there last Sunday. Those guys rushing and the guys blocking are monsters. As I get older, it seems like every tackle in the NFL looks like it's going to kill or cripple somebody. Do they have mandatory steroid testing in the NFL?

Not that there's anything wrong with beer and sausage...

Yeah, if you ain't juicin' you ain't playin'.

Behind The Shield 11/20 profiles BRUCE GRADKOWSKI

summary of coaches comments:
it is now week 10 and we no longer believe in fairies, dragons, ghosts, monsters under our bed and the myth that jamarcus russell is a qb. we have decided that we want to play a qb that gives us a chance to actually win assuming that our receivers remember how to catch a pass. bruce is not 6'5" and a chiseled specimen of humanity but he can actually PLAY FOOTBALL!

Bruce looks good today and the announcers love him. I think he'll definitely be their guy for the rest of the season.

Too bad his WR's suck and can't catch a football.

At least the announcers aren't following up the dropped pass play-call with Bruce's pass completion stats like they did back then.

Gradkowski just threw a td pass with 33 seconds left to tie the game up! GO BRUCE!

Bruce Almighty w/ his 4th game winning/tying TD drive.

Bengals fumble on the ensuing kickoff! Raiders ball on the 20 or so
