What did Hue Jackson say b4 the Raiders played the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 11, 2011?

By Hue Jackson (coach of the Raiders):

On 12/10/2011: 
BACKDROP:  Rather than look at the Packers' streak as daunting, Jackson draws strength from it.

"We need to go on a run here, just like that team (referring to the Packers) did a year ago (Packers won Superbowl in 2011 for 2010 season)," Jackson said. "That team was kind of where we are right now (7-5 record for Raiders in 2011, 8-4 record for Packers in 2010, okay, let's loosely define "kind of where we are right now")  -- they went on a run, they stayed on that run. They've done a tremendous job. Why not the Raiders? Why can't we do that? Why can't that happen for us?"  


Well, if Jackson had just reviewed 2 stats, he may have been able to answer his own questions.

Total penalty yards in 2010 for the Raiders were 1276 and 617 for the 2010 Packers.
Turnover ratio in 2010 for the Raiders was minus 2 (which means they gave away the ball 2 more times to the opponents from combination interceptions and fumbles) versus a plus 10 for the 2010 Packers.

For 2011:  Penalty yards for Raiders were 1358 and 591 for the 2011 Packers.  Turnover ratio for Raiders was minus 4 versus plus 24 for the Packers.

Clear as daylight of the tell tale signs.  The trend was there for everyone to see.  Unfortunately, that "bully" mentality of the Raiders head coach (his own words) was unable to interpret something so simple before asking the world why can't the 2011 Raiders perform similarly to the 2010 Packers!

Hmmmm......The stock price of Research in Motion is now performing similarly to what Apple's stock did in the past.  Why can't Research in Motion do what Apple is now doing presently????  Quick, let's start buying RIMM, forget about doing any research!  :-)
