The other day I was reading the responses from when you posted the same thing last year....

The Raiders' Run Offense looks pretty decent. But Baltimore's run offense is a shitload better than Oakland.

I sure hope so.

not if both teams play the way they did this week

I will wait until later in the week to make a prediction but I think we have a good chance.

The Raiders are playing late tonight and will have a short week after coming off a very physical game that favors us.

Yeah, no.

For once I agree with you. Their strengths match up to our weaknesses.

San Diego was not good at stopping the run last year

before this game I thought we had a good shot but I'm thinking no now

I'm much less certain of my "yes" answer now than I was before this game started. The Raiders have a good ground game and are learning how to be semi-functional as an offense with a semi-reeruned QB.

That said, I just don't think that what they're doing with some effect tonight should work against a well-coached team. You put Flowers on their TE (assuming he returns), stack the box with angry, motivated, embarrassed defenders, and tell them "go ahead and beat us with your WR's."

On offense, I think we can have success going away from Seymour, setting up some of the naked bootlegs that we ran against Minny in the preseason.

Obviously if our O-line doesn't do an adequate job of establishing a run, it won't matter. But I think we'll get it done.

We are going to have to play possesion pass by throwing to Bowe and letting him use his body to block out defenders. That means quick passes though, like slants and stuff. We can't let Cassell hold the ball or the Raiders line will kill us

That's one thing I didn't understand...with the smaller corners Baltimore has, why we didn't do some of those quick hitters and just let him stiff-arm his way down the field. Were they doing things to take that away?

Uh dude, they're going to put Asomugha on Bowe, you know the best ****ing CB in the league, how you gonna throw to him?

We gonna win.

I'm gonna say KC wins because Russell is so crappy. He kills their O.
