Please no more closeups of Mark Davis. I might get nightmares

Pete Carroll really salvaged his career

Human Genome Smith is not the answer

He and Diggs would make things interesting

Let's see if Geno can avoid the red zone pick

Nice ST work

Raiders have 3rd highest ticket prices in the league. Good money for bad football

Ok, you can tell I'm one of those retirees who doesn't know what day it is

Oops Hopefully the mods will save me from my disorientation

Lots of Marshawn Kneeland tributes

He likes to jazz things up

We cannot assume the Texans won't run it down our throat like the Bucs did. We'll need at least one turnover but I think we win by 10.

On a given day, we can beat any AFC opponent. If we come up against a solid running team, we will have to score 40 points on offense. Until we get Oliver back, our run D is a collection of tackling dummies.

This team is schizophrenia inducing. First was Josh's shot put fumble in our own end that brought back the dread leftover from the Dolphins game. When the defense was on the field, I watched the Bucs back up running backs gash us like Saquon Barkley. With each failed tackle, I'm telling myself not only are we going to lose this game but we don't even deserve to win. With Emeka Egbuka their only viable receiving threat, it begs the question why we are in a pass defense when the Bucs have no alternative but to run. Even Mayfield had to contribute on the ground. Then there was Hardman's kickoff fumble. When the offense later got on track they scored with such quickness and ease, I was dumfounded by how effortless they made it look. In reality, Josh put us on his shoulders again for a world beating 6 TDs. Do we really have to score 40+ points to beat a good team? That is in no way sustainable over the course of a season and postseason. I suspect that until we get Oliver and a few others back that this is exactly what we will have to do. I have seen the Bills play solid run defense last year in the first half of the Ravens playoff game. I think Clappy can call the right formations against a given opponent and that our D will do enough. I just wish it didn't require super hero performances from Josh week in and week out.

Lions don't look like contenders
