Huge assist from Tampa yesterday. Now hopefully the Raiders can come back from Mexico with a W and start looking real good to win the division

Yeah, that Bucs victory was huge.. Then you have Denver v KC next week, yikes!! One of those teams will be 7-4

We just need to win this game tonight, and we good..

Not been many great Monday Night Football games that have been interesting so far this year but this one definitely peaks quite a bit of interest. Something to keep an eye on is the elevation. The stadium is over 7,000 feet above sea level. Shatters the Broncos stadium when it comes to elevation. We could see a lot of players taking breaks so depth could be huge in this one. For once more I will be cheering for Brock Osweiler to have a good game!

What up cd
And of course you will cheer Osweiler, it would be disappointing if you didn't..
And yeah dude, im a little worried about that 7000 feet.. But the RAIDERS will be ready, as will the Texans im sure.. The RAIDERS have some pretty good depth.. Im not sure about the Texans though

Well there are many reasons to cheer for Houston tonight beyond just how much I dislike the Raiders. Strategically speaking the Broncos hold the tie breaker over them plus if say the Broncos split with either the Chiefs or Raiders and finish with the same divisional record it goes to record against common opponents. The Chiefs lost to Houston where we beat them. So if Raiders lose it helps again in one of the tie breaker scenarios.

Then if we finish with the same record as the Texans say we win the division then again because of the tie breaker of head to head we would get the higher playoff seed. So plenty of reasons to be cheering for the Texans. Really to me because of the elevation this game comes down to who can run the ball better? Lamar Miller to me is the best RB in this game by far but the Texans defense is terrible at stopping the run. So to me the edge in that category goes to the Raiders. Whoever can keep the opposing defense on the field the most holds a huge advantage especially in the 4th quarter. Might be a game for the Raiders to go away from that high flying offense in the air.

Yeah, a lot sheet can happen with just one loss.. You got the Fins at 6-4 and play the Niners next week!! They coming on as well.. It will be interesting with every game from here on out..

And i don't agree with Lamar Miller being better than Murray.. The RAIDERS have a 3 back rotation, so Murray ain't going to get all the carries.. Washington and Richard are pretty good so they get some run as well..
Keep all 3 fresh as the season moves along, and the games get harder..

The RAIDERS going to keep the same game plan that we used on you guys, run the ball.. Keep the Texan defense on the field.. And im sure the Texans have the same game plan, run the ball..

I have been a huge Lamar Miller for quite some time and felt that he wasted some prime years in Miami. Good to see him finally getting a full load and showing that he belongs with some big name RB's. I'm not saying you don't have quality RB's as they ran all over the Broncos but I just think if I am picking between all of yours and Miller I am taking Miller. And honestly I just am not a fan of Murray. He has a great skill set but to me if he doesn't have a great OL to get good push to help him get up to top speed he really struggles. He doesn't have a great first step. Great top end speed just takes him a while to get up to it. I would rather have a RB with great short area quickness than a guy that after 20 yards is up to full speed and can run away from everybody. Again doesn't mean he isn't a quality RB I just have never been a big fan of his.

And yeah things are getting pretty crowded in the AFC. You guys lose this one and come back to the pile a bit it makes things pretty shaky down the stretch. Especially when you consider the tough divisional games compared to teams like Miami that have a pretty easy finishing schedule compared to our teams.

The RAIDER OL is top 5 in pretty much everything.. It's a big nasty mean OL!! Then we run 6 OL personal alot of the time as well with Denver Kirkland the UDFA rookie and the other rookie Vadal.. Those dudes are monster size and can play.. If we feature Murray, he would be top 3 in yards and TDs right now, he's real good.. 6-3 235 4.3 40
But like i said we use our other rookies in Washington and Richard.. Keep them all fresh..
I do like Lamar Miller as well, he's pretty good as well..

Every game is important now, lose one and that ain't good!!

Heck, you guys play KC next week and the loser of that game could be tied with the Fins assuming they beat the Niners.. And we still have to play each other one more time!!
