After one game, Kiffin has media frustrations already By Stefani Rebekah Black September 11, 2008     ALAMEDA--Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin said in practice this week that one loss doesn't make a season. That the 41-14 blow out on Monday Night was just 1/16th of the regular season and there's a lot more ball games to go after this past first opener. "It's one game; there are 15 other teams that are 0-1 just like us, regardless of the score. If we come back this week and go to Arrowhead Stadium and win, we'll be 1-1, and everyone will be talking about that game." Kiffin Said. But for now everyone is talking about the Raider loss last Monday night which later mounted for more loses in past seasons to double digits for Oakland in the past five years. The Raiders also carry the most loses over the last five seasons than any other NFL team. The Raiders picked up ten penalties, five personal fouls, the Raiders defense failed to hold Denver's offensive line, quarterback Jay Cutler had plenty of time to throw, and never was even chased by the Raider rush attack. Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell couldn't even find his receivers as the Broncos slowed them up and teamed up on them. Russell couldn't hit his target. The offensive line for the Raiders failed to stop the Broncos from rushing at Russell. Kiffin fed up already with all the negative publicity said, "Maybe we should lose by one point and you start saying, well were really good and we should have won the game or the refs blew the call, or we got our butts kicked. So we'll come back next week and maybe it made some issues to be addressed this week that wouldn't have been in a close game." Kiffin said. The Raiders hit the road for week two in Kansas City on Sunday Sept 14th; kick off is at 10AM. Stefani Rebekah Black is covering Raiders football each week for Sportstalk Radio.
