Regular season thread

[fishinabarrel]

Man, impossible to explain how good it feels for the Raiders to be winning again. To actually be excited for Sundays (or Mondays) again and not just going through te motions and watching the game out of a sense of loyalty. Excited to see what this team can accomplish. I'm not expecting a Super Bowl, although I wouldn't turn it down, our secondary just isn't up to par for that yet. But we can confidently say our GM will fix that this offseason. The draft this year is going to be very deep in DBs. Anyway, enough with my little happy rant, think the win in prime time oN MNF got my adrenaline on overload.

Big couple of games at home these next two weeks against non division opponents. With our last three divisional games being away, important that we try to keep and possibly increase out lead against the Panthers and Bills

The Raiders are the most penalized team in the league.....no sympathy when people start bringing up flags.

Some of the guys on ESP-enis were saying they think the Raiders can play the Pats in the AFC title game.

I wonder if all those people were up in arms when the RAIDERS got 23 flags for 200 yards??
Some other dude said it best?? The RAIDERS are the wrong team if you want to complain about bad calls!!

I said on the main board forget Vegas, Raiders need to move to Mexico. We actually got some love from the refs!

The RAIDERS would beat them, IMO The RAIDERS would put 40 on them

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

The RAIDERS have beat 2 of the TOP Ds in the league in back to back games in the Broncos and the Texans!! Then you throw in the Ravens when we beat them, and that's 3 TOP Ds!!
The Bucs who just beat KC also went down at the hands of the RAIDERS.. And we beat them with 23 flags for 200 Yards!!

I mean, what more do some people out there want?? We don't get to play the Browns and Bears to pad the stats.. No offense to those teams, cuz they in rebuild mode..

So now it's on to the Panthers!! Now this is a team that can be great in one game and bad in the other.. This game is pretty much do or die as far as the playoffs go for the Panthers!! Expect a hard hitting battle in the City Of Oakland!!

Barring a letdown game from the trip back from Mexico the Raiders should be able to dispatch the Panthers. Want to see the running game get going a bit more but I fully expect Carr to have another big day on the Panthers secondary

LET'S NOT GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES. WE COULD GO 0-8 AND STILL HAVE AN AVERAGE SEASON RIGHT???

What kind of condition will the RAIDERS be in after playing in that high altitude on a short week i wonder??

The RAIDER run game was stopped for a few reasons imo.. The Texans came into that game focus on stopping the run, with Wilfork and Clowney and the rest of that D, and the RAIDER OL is the biggest OL in the game or dang near it.. That OL was sucking air and was gassed.. That's the small price we pay for an OL that big, lol

The good news is, when they stop our run game it don't mean our RBs are done.. We use them as WRs as well..
See that 199 yards and 2 TDs from them in the pass game..
I think the Panthers will come in trying to stop the run, and that will play right into Carr's hands!!
Oh, name another FB that's as deadly as Olawale?? He has the two longest TD catches this season for the RAIDERS!! We coming at you with the FB!! LOL

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Pretty good football action today.. Lions look pretty good and will be a handful.. The Lions have a team that can make a nice run,imo

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Keys to the game

Run the ball, stop the run, hit the QB!! Limit mistakes, win the TO battle.. Simple and yet not easy to do..
The real threat in this game is the running of Cam Newton.. Stop him, the chance of winning is GREAT!! If he runs wild, you got a battle on your hands..

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

This is pretty cool?? Amari Cooper named clutch player of the week.. Congrats Coop!!
Another interesting thing happened today?? RAIDERS cut McCants which is a bit surprising cuz he's a good OL player and bring up Cowser from our PS.. Had too, Calhoun had surgery and is out..

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Game Day!!
And im a little nervous and yet excited about the game.. The Panthers are a good team and i don't care what anybody says about that.. Cam was MVP of the league last year and he has plenty of weapons, along with a solid D!! They are playing for their season today, so expect them to be ready..

The RAIDERS need to be ready, limit mistakes and win the TO battle.. Should be a good game..
