"This was going to be Raiders wide receiver Ronald Curry's career year. Leading the team in receptions the past two years didn't satisfy Curry. He could do better.

Curry said the team "gave up" on him when he was benched in favor of rookie Chaz Schilens. Since then, Curry has played sparingly after his best asset - his hands - failed him and he dropped passes early in the season. "Right now we made one change, it was me," Curry said. "So it's like, 'Was it me? Was (I) the reason the passing game wasn't going and blah, blah, blah?'
