Oakland Raiders: New Era Demands New Winning Patterns
Damali Binta – Sep 5, 2012
A CALL TO ACTION
You may not care about history, but I do. It helps us to study past patterns. In 2012, the Raider Nation demands that those patterns be altered.
A chart of the wins for both the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders is presented. You can notice that there are periods in which the Raiders dominated the Chargers. Of course, there are periods, too, when the Chargers dominated the Raiders.
During the New Era of the Oakland Raiders, there must be a change in the outcome of the games in 2012. In 2011, there was a tie in outcomes when you compare the Chargers with the Raiders. There is no time for any type of ties in the New Era.
The data is listed for a 20-year period. It is time for the Oakland Raiders to breakout and put distance between their record and the record of the Chargers. It can be done. It must be done. It will be done!
If you study the data you can see the patterns. The past patterns must be changed. The beginning of those changes must start in Week 1, in 2012.

If you don't enjoy staring at raw data, then consider the graph. It tells a story. The theme of the story: Just win, baby! Just win, in 2012!
