Fix it KNJ!! 300 Yards 3TDs from Carr and a monster run game should be enough!! FIX IT!!

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Well, im pissed off and disappointed in the effort the D gave today!!

 

[fishinabarrel]

Well that is a tough pill to swallow. Gotta win the games like yesterday bc Atlanta is not that good. Defense has got to figure things out and quick. I'll give what should be an easy goal for next week

1. Don't give up a pass play over 75 yards

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Im not mad anymore.. I just want the problems fixed, which i think they will be..

Atlanta is pretty good bro.. They have some elite players on O and some decent ones on D.. When you get talent like that clicking you see what seen in our game.. Now that's no excuse cuz our D just got simply outplayed!!
We have a lot work to do on that side of the ball..

The good news is Carr can rack up points pretty easy, and it looks like we are developing a deadly RUN game!!
But those will come down to 50/50 type games if the D can't stop teams..

Atlanta will be a wait and see, I suppose. The Raiders offense is definitely good and will put up points, but past history shows an elite D will best an elite O. So, if our offense gets slowed down and the defense doesn't shape up, we'll be in trouble.

However, there are some playmakers on defense so I expect them to get better. Need a leader to step up in the defensive backfield with Charles gone and give Mack a little more time to be the wrecking ball he can be

Yeah, the Falcons are not some beast team, they just have a good collection of talent.. And sometimes that's enough when teams play bad D..

And agreed on the D man.. It's puzzling right now on how their playing.. Bad coaching, scheme, or whatever dude.. There's just NO excuse for it.. It will get fixed..

I agree, the Falcons are not that good, but what they have this year is a better OL and solid OFC weapons, better LBs , Trufant has a rough game, but overall CBs are decent...what they don't have is a pass rush....DL is average at best.

When you have a good QB and a decent team around said QB, you always have a chance to win.. Always
I don't know if the Falcons will reach the playoff or not, and truth is i really don't care.. All i do know is, when you have a QB and Offensive weapons like they do and a so so D.. You let up a little, they will beat you.. That goes for any team.. I never count any team out that has a QB, ever

I hear ya...lol.

I live here and had zero interest in the Falcons until they got Vick...then Blank bought the team and made a wise move to drop the season tkt prices...instant sellouts, then I got to see them on TV home and away and they grew on me...eventually I became a fan...Still bleed black and gold, but good to see the home team do well.

I would be surprised if they make the playoffs with the DEF being so iffy, but 14 more left, i.e. a long way to go.

I don't follow Falcons ball like you do man.. To me though, it looks like they have the talent to make some noise..
Again, good QB, WRs, RBs, OL, and an ok D.. That's all you need to make some noise.. It's up to Matt Ryan to make all that happen though, imho

Ryan has some limitations, but is a pretty good QB. imo he's not working with the best OC scheme wise. Plenty of OFC playmakers. If the DEF comes around, maybe they can be a WC team. Tough schedule so this week will be a good test...they are a little better on both sides of the ball than NO imo, but they always seem to struggle in the Superdome. If they win that one and split with CAR and TB, their chances go up.

From an outsider looking in, you guys have a pretty good team.. In fact you have what seems like a good team in the Falcons, and a GREAT team in the Steelers!! Again, i don't follow the Falcons much, so i can't really comment the the OC schemes they run.. What i can comment on?? If Matt Ryan plays great, Falcons will be a tough out.. To many weapons for them to be a poor team.. And if they do play poor?? Ryan or the coaching would be the problem, imo

The Ronnie Lott group eh?? Hopefully they can get something done in Oakland?!
The RAIDERS to Vegas wheels are in motion, so Oakland NEEDS to step it up!! Before that bus leaves to Vegas..

I wouldn't mind the move there at all. It would give me a few more reasons to visit during football season and it's actually closer.

Thanks...I hope if shows up in Jan/Feb...until then it's one week at a time....I'm glad the Eagles are 2-0 and they were able to see that CHI game last MNF...they should be stoked and motivated.

ATL...Well, Matt played pretty well in both, but they have given up nearly 30 in both and are somewhat lucky to be 1-1. Ryan is a classic drop back read and deliver type passer...Shanahan's OFC has a lot of QB movement, rollout, bootlegs, etc...but you're right...so goes Matt Ryan so goes the Falcons...the DEF will have to contribute more than they have so far for them to make the playoffs imo.

Raiders are better than the Titans, but need to take TN serious...the young QB is not playing great yet, but the DEF is stout.

DJ, i want to be on the record, that i HOPE we stay in Oakland..
But, i wouldn't mind it either!! Vegas is a fun place man, then you add our favorite team, smh!!
And i love making the Boise to Vegas drive on my 66!! One straight shot right through that Nevada Desert!!
Catch me if you can.. Lmao

Cmon Oakland!! Get in the game!!

Oh, we take the Titans serious man.. That's a good young IMPROVING team with a legit young QB, power running game, and a good D.. We have our hands full, and they playing at home..
Our Offense as of now has been really good and they can put points up.. Our D has been disappointing the first two games.. A little drama going on right now with that unit!! We will fix it though.. Should be a good game either way..

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Imo, Brady's QB play keeps taking a hit.. I mean, when you throw in ANY QB in the system they run, they don't miss a beat.. They run what can be the best QB SYSTEM i have ever seen..

We are down to our 3rd string rookie QB that's NOT ready to play!! Who cares put him in!! Boom, 27-0
The OC who put that system in at the start is one bad mofo..
