The Rams travel to Oakland for Game 1 of the season. Gruden has moved a lot of his roster to bring his type of guys so we should win this game outright unless we get too cocky. We may come out a bit rusty, but I think we'll come home with a win. This is a Monday night game so I doubt if I'll be able to make it due to work constraints.

I am curious as to how the offense is looking since we really didn't see the starters as all during the preseason. Hoping that this turns out as a brilliant move or else McVay will probably not hear the end of it for a while if it backfires. Otherwise, I trust that Wade and the guys on the defense to keep us in the game and we'll leave Oakland 1-0, ruining Gruden's return.

Not getting cocky but we could play D and just run the ball in this game and it will be close. Offense may be a bit rusty

I can not wait to get the season going with a big win in Oakland. I will be surprised if the game is close.

You guys should win this game on paper without much issue. Hard to tell which way players react to the Mack trade, though. Sometimes that stuff gets to teams and they give in. Other times it fires them up and gives them something to prove. We'll see how they respond.

Regardless, I think the Rams win this one. It's just a matter of whether it will be an actual game or not.

My prediction for the opener:

Rams 41 Raiders 10

Reason - The offense is chomping at the bit and the defense will give them plenty of opportunities. Like us, they can't wait to get it on!

I think Jon Gruden is going to find out that his team is in disarray and missing several pieces that I know he knows they badly need when he plays us Monday night. Sort of like when Sean McVay took over the Rams after the Drama Queen!!

Should be an interesting game and we shall see if the teams come out in game shape or look like the rusty, tired teams that played tonight over in the Philly/ Falcons game. I won't be attending though. I have to do this inconvenient thing called work.

Enjoy everyone!!

'WORK' is truly a four letter word Retro! :lol:

SJ, I'm really looking for the offense to do well. The Raiders defense was at the bottom portion of the league last year and now are without Mack... A lot of change in Oakland and Chucky just doesn't have the pieces yet to get what he's looking for.

If we lose, it will be because we beat ourselves, not because they beat us. Play hard, execute, and stick to a solid game plan, that's the formula in Week 1 for the Rams, the only thing, the Raiders have the best all time record on MNF. :eek:

Rams 30
Raiders 7

this shouldn't be even close with Mack gone, and i dont think Carr is better than Rogers so there should be no last minute Scoring changes when i go to sleep.

My expectations are kinda blah. I just hope the Defense’s expectations are not too high. Something tells me Wade is a “stay within yourself” kinda coach


Let’s go Rams!
