Fan in San Diego

I know what your saying, in the past I would have thought that. For some reason I wasn't worried they were going to blow it.

Hi RaiderJoe thanks for posting. I watched the game last night and the Raiders DLine does look good. Your Oline was manhandling Denver. Our DLine is much bigger than Denver's so it will be interesting to see the matchup. McFadden and Reece look strong and tough. Our LB's are going to need a hot tub after this game. Sealing the edges will be crucial to stop the running game. This is going to be a tough fought game. It is going to be very close I think. 3 points or less will win this game. My prediction is 31 - 28 Bills.

The Raiders RB corp look big and tough to bring down. This is going to be a tough test for our newly improved rushing D. The only thing I noticed is that Denver's DL looked kind of small. We are pretty big up front so that should help alot. It's important for our Ends and LB's to seal the corner.

What he said

I agree and am damn happy with the results. It's just something I will be watching for in the Oakland game.

What was the line on the KC game?

I posted a similar thought in another thread. If KC didn't panic and start throwing like crazy, and just kept pounding the ball. How would of the run D held up? I didn't think we were setting the edge good enough. The runners were getting around the corners quite a bit. The up middle runs were stopped pretty though. And last year we could not do that.

Sheesh, whats the problem with Easley? He seemed all ready to go and now this?

There is a link to a Merriman interview today with Jay Glazer in the thread watch this. Talking about the win yesterday. No mention of any injury. So he must be fine.

I'm happier than a kid in the candy store that we destroyed the Chiefs. But one thing sticks in my mind. If KC didn't panic and kept pounding the ball, could we have stopped the run? They rushed for over 100 yards while slinging the ball more than running. Lets see how the defense does when Oakland #2 rated rushing offense pounds the ball. Watching tonites game will be interesting.

Lets hope we have a pic fest against the Jets.

I wonder why Ryan Lindell wasn't booting it out of the end zone today? He was in pre-season. So it must be a strategy move.

We can only hope this happens! 3 - 0 would be awesome.

What happened to Merriman on that one play where he went off the field nursing his arm and shoulder? Anything to worry about?

Fred is awesome. His vision to see the creases is amazing. Great downhill runner.

Look at Philip River's throwing motion. It looks crazy bad but is crazy good. I think Fitz has just learned to be good throwing with this motion. He started out rusty but got better as the game went on. Lets hope he keeps getting more accurate.

We will find out just how good we are when we play New England. If we beat New England we are a good team.

Good read.

+1 where do I buy it?

Thanks for the recap.

I guess they will be calling Garrard for a workout.

Thanks for the recap.

I hope not. The run defense of the early 90's sucked. That's why we lost all the superbowls. Couldn't stop the run. Our offense was awesome! But not the defense. Special teams rocked as well.

Zach who?

Wow! And people around here think we have problems. Imagine being a Jags fan today. It would be a WTF moment.
