Demarcus Lawrence is a monster pass rusher

Outside of him I don’t know if David Irving is healthy but he brings heat.

I thing you can run on them...

I suspect Newhouse is going to need a little help.

Can the running game get going against Dallas? Lynch had a great run in the Chiefs game and then running game went away...


  1. At 6-7, the Oakland Raiders are just about cooked.

    Even if the Raiders win out, an Oakland team that came into 2017 with Super Bowl hopes will need something of Christmas miracle to make the playoffs at all.

    Of course, it won't matter unless Oakland wins its last three games. And to do that, it needs to ride the run game until Marshawn Lynch's legs fall off.

    The Marshawn Lynch experiment in Oakland has been something of a failure. The Raiders rank 26th in the NFL in rushing, at 91.5 yards per game.

    That failure doesn't rest on Lynch's shoulders, however. He's actually played fairly well for a 31-year-old tailback, averaging 4.2 yards a carry and scoring seven times.

    But for whatever reason, the Raiders have more commitment issues than Taylor Swift where running the football is concerned. Despite a good offensive line and a bad defense (two factors that lend themselves to playing ball control), Lynch has 15 carries in a game all of three times this season.

    Oakland won all three.

    Funny coincidence, that.

Glad we went early this year. Had a blast at the Jets' game. Too bad shit happened after that.

Two years ago the home opener was against the Bengals.The year they ended up being good.We were embarrased.I was pretty pissed.

Last year was SNF against Denver.That was a good one.

I'm not sure when the last time I went to a game in Oakland. Easily over ten years ago.

I'm not a good fan.

I'm sure I'll go to a game in Las Vegas if it ever happens but to think I'd go to a game there every year isn't realistic. I have a much better view in my living room and gave my remote!!!

That's how I generally feel. My brother got me tickets to todays game and even paid for a real nice hotel down by the water in Oakland.

Lynch doesn't fit here he has a quick initial step and good vision but he patience is a detrament here, Murray fits much better if we kept him we would be go to the playoffs like he is now.
