If the defense can play great for at least one half and the offense score like they did we will at least break even this season, but that's not a playoff team and hasn't been for a few years now.

Cher, you need to come outta da cave, Bro...

Jack Del Rio has turned up the gas 'cause the Raiders are a serious playoff team...

I'm seeing a lot of this sentiment for the Raiders today. I don't know where it's coming from.

They aren't as bad as they were a couple of years ago, but I don't see playoffs for them. And by no means does beating the Saints prove anything. We know how this team plays down to competition virtually every year. I could be wrong about Oakland, but honestly I think we just lost to an average team.

They have two good receivers, a great pass rusher, a good oline, a good DE yet they aren't better than average?

They should average 24 to 27 ppg. Not 35. Their close to taking the next step if they haven't already. Could be this season? The team I believe will take the next step is Jacksonville. Carr and Bortles are pretty decent qb.'s and I believe will only get better in time.

Come on JP. It's not a cave, it's an underground dwelling! The Raiders aren't that good. Del Rio got lucky and the Saints let down the last 18 minutes allowing 25 points by Oakland. On 3 plays alone the Raiders got 145 yards and without those defense did good for almost 3 full quarters.

Del Rio is NOT a good coach. 76-80 since 2003 and 7-9 last year. What pieces did they add since then? Nada

Del Rio just got lucky with nothing to lose. 2 2 point conversions? Never happen again!

I think we need to learn how to run the ball when we get a lead more.we are in such a hurry to try to push the ball down the field with the pass way to much.the defense is spent when the fourth quarter rolls around.we need to do a better job at controlling the time of possession IMHO

Has Byrd turned into Malcolm Jenkins 2.0?
