Can we just celebrate a little?
Look at you, Raiders win and you're filled with optimism... Dodgers clinch... pretty awesome week for the Turk

Would have been more if he wasn't slow and fat
Notes
• The Raiders placed rookie safety Johnathan Abram, who suffered and played through a torn rotator cuff and labrum on Monday, on injured reserve on Wednesday. Abram will undergo surgery on Thursday and is done for the 2019 season.
“We’ll consider this a redshirt year for him,” Gruden said Wednesday of Abram, who’ll remain around the team facility to rehab and study film this year. “But he made some big plays to help us win a football game and he’s a big part of our future.”
How will Abram’s absence affect the Raiders’ safety rotation this year?
“Everybody has a role and right now at the safety position everybody’s role has changed a little bit,” Gruden said. “Fortunately, we have some veterans there. Erik Harris, Karl Joseph, (Curtis) Riley started 16 games for the Giants and played well for us, so we’ll go with those guys and perhaps (Dallin) Leavitt will get his shot.”
• Cornerback Gareon Conley, who was carted off the field Monday after Abram inadvertently kneed him in the head, was back at practice Wednesday in a limited capacity.
“Really happy to have him back on the practice field today,” Gruden said of Conley. “He did just about everything and that’s really great news for us.”
• Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs at the Coliseum will likely be the last contest in NFL history played on a surface that features infield dirt from a baseball configuration. That’s because the Raiders, who “host” the Bears in London Oct. 6, won’t play another game at the Coliseum until Nov. 3. Even if the A’s go the distance this season, that’s after the World Series ends.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid brought up the infield dirt on a Wednesday conference call with Raiders reporters.
“There’s just something about that place that’s crazy,” Reid said of the Coliseum. “Last year, the sewage system flooded, and it simplifies the game for you. You got to work through a few things to get out there, and then you still have the baseball infield. These guys can tell their grandkids that they used to play baseball there and we’d go out and during the baseball season and play in the dirt, literally. I think there’s something to that.”
Speaking of family stories and that Coliseum infield dirt, Sunday’s game will likely be the last time star Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes plays on the same dirt in a professional venue as his father, former MLB pitcher Pat Mahomes, who had nine career appearances against the A’s at the Coliseum during his baseball career.
It’s the final remaining multipurpose football-baseball stadium in American pro sports, and the Coliseum is also the only place to have seen two generations of Mahomes athletes play — both against Oakland teams.
Can KC even compete?Wup dey ass

really sucks losing Jacobs as he was making some critical stops like that pass in the flats to Fant. Nailed him and stopped his progress then next play we shut down the run, then they didn't convert the third down pass. KC is deadly on those types of plays. KC's offense is going to get theirs, we'll need some turnovers and our offense is going to have to play lights out. Hope the refs don't fuck us on bs penalties-- that could easily be the difference. Some very suspect calls kept Denver in the game too.

I didn't think Conley was having a great game on Monday night before the injury. He's obviously needed but needs to play better. And if Conley doesn't play against the Chiefs, Mullen is going to have a bulls eye on his back.Sounds like Conley might play after all.
