Good post by the OP.

We cannot afford to look past these guys.

Quote:

* Both the Raiders and Saints rank among the top five in the NFL in net passing yards.

* New Orleans is second in the league with 303.9 yards per contest, while the Raiders are fifth in the NFL with 288.9 yards per game.

* The Raiders have scored in the final two minutes of the first half in each of the team’s nine games.

* The Silver and Black has recorded points off of takeaways in five straight games, dating back to the team’s Week 6 contest at Atlanta on Oct. 14.

* Head Coach Dennis Allen will face the team with which he helped win Super Bowl XLIV.

Re: Raiders vs. Saints Game Notes

I hope the Saints keep their heads in the game and not the papers this week.

I wish we could have kept Dennis Allen. He was a great coach and he's just getting started in Oakland. I know he's got a lot of insight into our team, but that's with SP coaching, not Joe Vitt. I think this will give us a slight advantage because he won't be so sure of what he thinks we will do. I know this is redundant, but , we've got to keep doing what works for us. We will have to keep at the run game, keep tackling correctly, and Drew needs to improve his ball protection. He's been a little careless this year. I also think we need to run Ivory more this week.
