I’ve been looking over the boards and I see a lot of “…if our defense gels…” and “…if we can pressure Collins…”.

Huh?

Your defense hasn’t done much in the last three games. They are rated #15 and have given up 76 points already. On Sunday they are going up against one of the biggest, most physical o-lines in the league. It was said best last week..

Announcer#1 “The Buc’s defense is looking very tired out there.”
Announcer#2 “You’d be tired too if you spent the day trying to run around buildings.”

You really think you’re going to put the heat on Collins? I see you getting through a few times, but not enough to make a real difference. Collins is going to have all the time he needs to get the ball down field to any one of our new, young receivers.

Plan on seeing your D out on the field most of the day and getting man-handled by our o-line.

I’ve also seen a lot of talk about your o-line going up against your d-line. Again, you are going up against one of the more physical d’s in the league. They are rated 9th and have given up 54 points (14 of those weren’t until the last quarter when our team went into cruise mode against the Bucs). Look at last Sunday to see what I mean. I plan on seeing a lot of 3 and outs.

Last of all, look at the record: Two losses against mediocre teams and a by the skin of your teeth win against 0-3 KC. We are 2-1 and both of our wins are pretty solid.

I’m not trying to take anything away from your team, but I think everything points to a Raider win. But who knows?… Any given Sunday and all that, but I have to go with the Raiders.

Raiders 27
Texans 9

Just Win, Baby!

Hmm where do I start?Lets see so you lost to the steelers which I think is a more solid team than oakland any way,then you beat the Bills,they are now 0-2,then you beat the bucsI believe they are 0-3,so I really don't see where you are going with your attitude,I will stop there so you won't be confused,and well we will see come sunday.

I had to smile when I read this .... especially the "mediocre teams" and "pretty solid" ...

mediocre teams would seem to be San Diego & Detriot (I agree BTW)

San Diego 1 - 2 (ranked 28th by ESPN) LOSS in Houston
Detroit 2 - 1 (ranked 18th by ESPN) LOSS in Detroit
Kansas City 0 - 3 (ranked 24th by ESPN) WIN in Kansas City

pretty solid would seem to be Tampa Bay & Buffalo

Pittsburgh 2 - 1 (ranked 13th by ESPN) LOSS in Pittsburgh
Tampa Bay 0 - 3 (ranked 29th by ESPN) WIN in Oakland
Buffalo 0 - 2 (ranked 27th by ESPN) WIN in Oakland

When was the last time Oakland won in KC?

Now I'm as much of a Texan fan as you obviously are a Raider fan but a 19 point win in HOUSTON :hehe: ..... wow considering that Oakland is a 2 1/2 point favorite you'll be cleaning up this weekend .... you do have some money on it don't you?

I didn't say the Bills or the Bucs are a solid team. I said the WIN was solid (although looking back the Bills win was also by the skin of our teeth!). Going into the fourth quarter we were beating the Bucs by 24 points! You beat KC by three and lost both of your games by more than seven. We lost to Pitt by three and beat the Bills by three and the Bucs by ten.

Just Win, Baby!

The wins were solid...not the teams. BTW, I agree the Bills win wasn't solid. But the Buc game was (10 pts).

See above...

I believe the Bucs were a three point favorite... We had them by 24 going into the 4th quarter and ended up beating them by ten....

Ok so the Texans have one solid win as do the Raiders ..... I contend that ANY win in KC is solid by definition ......

C'mon... They are 0-3, ranked 14 on offense, 32 on defense, and you beat them with a last second 49 yard field goal... If you can call that solid then I get to call our Bills win solid!

Just Win, Baby!
