Hsp08 Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Just a thought, This will be an interesting game. Both teams casualties from our Bills wins the last 2 weeks. One thing for sure, it will be an another shootout! Sure would be nice to see the Pats fall to the Raiders.
TPS Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I look for the Raiders to do exactly what they did to the Jets, and win this game.
Hsp08 Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 I look for the Raiders to do exactly what they did to the Jets, and win this game. What Fitz did to the Raiders defense, I am afraid of what Brady will do, but now with a chip on his shoulder with the loss to the Bills. Raiders offense is excellent but can it keep up? This is sounding quite similar to Bills-Pats match-up last weekend.
BillsObserver Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I look for the Raiders to do exactly what they did to the Jets, and win this game. I sense this as well. Raiders are playing like a team that is pissed off and wants to prove a point. They are getting 4 points in their own stadium. I just don't know if Campbell can keep up with Brady. McFadden will run all over the Pats but if the Pats get ahead and the Raiders are forced to play catch up, that could be bad news for them. Raiders are a tough, physical team and they look like they are playing with a chip on their shoulder since that Bills loss. They're going to give the Pats a good game.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 This week it's the Pats D that will dig a hole early for Brady. And the Raiders D wil bring pressure on Brady. Pats lose again. PTR
Realist Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Should be a great game. Raiders should just use a heavy dose of McFadden. Bludgeon the Pats* defense and keep Brady off the field.
truth on hold Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Raiders have good talent and a physical team but they don't play smart with the lead. They blew a big one against us by not protecting the ball, and also made some highly questionable calls after getting up on jets. Pats will win this one by playing more intelligent football.
TPS Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) What Fitz did to the Raiders defense, I am afraid of what Brady will do, but now with a chip on his shoulder with the loss to the Bills. Raiders offense is excellent but can it keep up? This is sounding quite similar to Bills-Pats match-up last weekend. The one thing the Jets and Ryan did was to show everyone how to beat the Pats--build a more physical team, and then beat them up. The Raiders will do their usual run it down their throats on O, which will keep Brady off the field more. We'll see if their D can get after Brady? Let's just say I won't be surprised by a Raider win. Edited September 28, 2011 by TPS
samothyev Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I don't like either team and truthfully hope they beat the piss out of each other. Because the Patsies are in our division (yes I spelled it "our") I would like a Raiders win but I really hope they just beat the piss out of each other!
Dorkington Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 If the Raiders don't get behind by 14+ points early and keep running the ball, it could be a long day for NE. The first couple drives and the Raiders coaching will determine the outcome of this game.
stevewin Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I think it's ridiculous that some experts are giving an edge to the Pats* b/c they'll be 'playing angry' after last week. If anything - the Pats* should be doubting themselves more than ever, and Oakland should be supremely confident after physically beating down the Jests, motivated more than ever to show that THEY are for real, AND still pissed off about the loss to the Bills. The timing couldn't be better here - I'm glad we got the Raiders early. If Oakland can physically beat the Pats* it could have a real impact on the psyche of NE going forward. If Baltimore (at home) can man-handle the Jets this week, especially after their showing last week, it could also do some real damage to the confidence/swagger of the Jets. This could be an unbelievably pivotal weekend in the division. If we can take care of business - nothing would be better than to not only have Pats*/Jests both 2-2, but also having both of them getting beat up and questioning themselves as well

I will add that even if the Pats are "playing angry," I don't think that plays well to their strengths. The Pats go as Brady goes. If Brady has a weakness, it's that getting angry when things aren't going his way frustrates him and throws him off his game. I hope Brady is still seething at the start of the game this week, and that Oakland quickly makes him even angrier. I still expect the Pats to be a tough out for Oakland, but this is definitely a winnable game for them. I expect Baltimore to take care of business against the Jets as well. there's a very real possibility the Bills could have a 2 game lead on the rest of the division at the end of this week. Who'da thunk it?
billsfan in n.h Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 feed me "seymore" is going to crush girly man,momma's boy the pouting pansie tom brady
phillyrich Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Raiders are going to physically hammer the Patriots. 31 - 21.
SDS Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I think it's ridiculous that some experts are giving an edge to the Pats* b/c they'll be 'playing angry' after last week. I think they'll destroy the Raiders exactly because of this. The Pats will roll big time.
kickedface Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 it could be a fun game. i do think the raiders are going to surprise people, but the pats* are going to come in angry. i hope i'm wrong but i don't see the raiders d stopping brady
Dan Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 As much as I think we'd all love to see the Raiders get another win; let's think about this realistically. When was the last time the Pats* lost 2 in a row? 2006. (Granted, that was also the last year in which Brady threw 4 picks in a game as well.) But, in all probability the Pats* come out re-focused and dissect the Raiders for an easy win.
Bill from NYC Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I think they'll destroy the Raiders exactly because of this. The Pats will roll big time. I hate to, but I have agree. There is too much of a coaching difference as well. Obviously, I hope we are wrong.
r00tabaga Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Monday morning... Bills 4-0 Patriots 2-2 Jets. 2-2 Dolphins 0-4
Chandler#81 Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I think they'll destroy the Raiders exactly because of this. The Pats will roll big time. That's the way I see it too. They have a strong history of NOT losing 2 in a row. I also think they're the best road/traveling team. Everyone else seems to suffer from cross-country treks. Pats* win these games. I'm also not sold on the Ravens. In 3 games they blow up opponents or get blown up. Which week is it this week? Blown up week. The Jests will be pizzed, for sure. Do they have the horses to get over last week? We'll know a lot more Sunday evening.
