SCARY BAD

 

1) Raiders' secondary

Oakland has spent big money (signing Sean Smith and David Amerson) and serious draft capital (selecting safety Karl Joseph in the first round in 2016 and Gareon Conley in the first round in 2017) on its secondary -- and yet, the unit has been a sieve. Not only are the Raiders the first team in history to go seven games in a season without recording a single interception, but they're allowing opposing quarterbacks to post a league-high passer rating of 109.0, nearly 20 points higher than the team's mark last season (89.9). They've also allowed a 47.8 percent completion rate on deep throws (traveling 20-plus air yards), the second-highest mark in the NFL, and 39 wide-open targets (with 3-plus yards of separation) downfield, the fifth most this season, per Next Gen Stats.

Conley hasn't played much this season, held back by shin splints, while second-round pick Obi Melifonwu has yet to see the field. Joseph's strength, meanwhile, appears to be as a run-stopping safety. Smith and Amerson, however, just have not played well at all. Amerson must have a neon flashing light on him, because opponents can't wait to target him: So far this season, he's given up 16 catches on 23 targets for 354 yards, three touchdowns and a passer rating of 151.7, per Next Gen Stats. Smith, meanwhile, is no longer starting, but he's been a liability when on the field, allowing 14 catches on 19 targets (73.7 percent) for 230 yards, one score and a passer rating of 131.5.

They are also not at home on prime time television and are flying cross country to play a game at 10am their time in which they are 2-19 in their last 21.

Lets not forget all those either.

they were a lousy team until last year, so thos stats are kind of meaningless.

All I'm saying is this will be another close game, especially if Poyer and Gaines aren't able to play.

Oakland is almost a carbon copy of TB. Great offense, not so great defense. Might be a game just like today's!

The Marshawn Lynch suspension is a plus for Buffalo, and the Raiders may be hurting at CB more than Buffalo. The key is going to be to try and limit the disruption factor of Khalil Mack - easier said than done.
