Does Allen have any supporters left? I see nothing but hate coming this man's way.

That's a emotionally happy raider mj by the way, shyt is versatile
The dream scenario would be to hand over the head coach and gm position to Chucky
But we all know that nikka aint coming back here. Hetoo good off ESPN
Just wishful thinking but if he was in charge we would be winning and more revenue for the Raiders thus they could pay him more
Raiders' Woodson: 'We're going to fight for our staff'
Editor's note: Scott Bair is in London with the Raiders. Stay logged on to CSNBayArea.com all week for comprehensive coverage of the Silver and Black.
LONDON – Charles Woodson was hard and cold in his assessment of the Raiders Week 2 loss to the Houston Texans. The veteran free safety has a strong bond with Raider Nation and was disappointed in the effort given to paying customers.
Woodson saying, “We suck,” among other colorful things, became national news during the next week, but his frustration really hit home hardest.
The Raiders weathered a storm of negativity over the last week, from reports that Dennis Allen’s job was in jeopardy to discussion that so many veteran imports didn’t have anything left in the tank.
[REWIND: Allen understands Woodson's frustration]
Woodson's comments were often used to describe that adverse stretch.
The future Hall-of-Famer said on Sunday that his comments were not spoken out of anger or malice. They were a calculated, designed as a motivational tool. He thought the Raiders needed some tough love, doled out as a blunt force trauma.
It would be sensationalist and a smidge overdramatic that Woodson spurned far better play in Sunday’s 16-9 loss to the New England Patriots. That was a true team effort, from the coaching staff to the veterans to a rookie class yet to experience an NFL win.
“It was a much better effort,” Woodson said. “It’s still a loss, which is disappointing for us. We fought our hearts out, but just came up a little bit short.”

Despite a week’s discussion that his job was in jeopardy – something the players couldn’t have ignored – Allen wouldn’t comment on whether his team’s improved play was an unspoken vote of confidence.
“Listen, we went out there to try to win a football game,” Allen said. “That’s all we can focus and that’s all we will focus on.”
Woodson, however, understands the pressure that comes with losing. He says the Raiders are fighting for each other, coaches included.
“Anytime you lose, a lot of people’s jobs are going to be in question. A lot of players too,” Woodson told reporters on Sunday. “But, like any team, guys are prideful.
"Guys don’t want to have someone lose a job on their watch. And I think every man in here would love to keep their own job and love for the coaches to keep their jobs too. So, we’re going to continue to fight for our staff. Hopefully next week we can come up with a win.”

this does not surprise me. players seem to be loyal to allen and his staff. unlike hue, allen never hung any of his players out to dry, even the malcontents who forced their way out (rolando)
the only way this staff stays on if this team somehow miraculously wins 7 games minimum and show a lot of improvement with david carr

the players support him
Our o-line has given up just 2 sacks so far this year 
They need to get better opening up lanes with our run game though
I would like to see Murray and Reece get more carries.
Time to bench Moore and give Butler and Holmes more time?
Olsen
please stop running McFadden straight up the middle all the time, need to run him off tackle and on sweeps.

I think the Sacks are more a product of Carr getting the ball out quickly. Obviously we've been doing a lot of dinking and dunking as well, but Carr seems to have a nice feel for the rush. Already been a couple times I thought he was gunna get got, only for him to get rid of the ball
