They're 0 and 3.

That makes it really tough.
They want to win more than we know.
If we would have faced them sometime in the past 3 weeks then we would have had the advantage, IMO.
But facing a team with it's back against the wall in their home field is extremely difficult.

Gonna take more than just a couple clutch passes by Bledsoe to win this one.
We need Special Teams, Defense and Offense to be clicking as well as some turnovers and good returns on our return teams.

On the other hand, if Dallas is able to get a lead early and stall the Raiders offense for several early drives their biggest weapon, Moss, could lose interest and start dogging it. Its certainly happened before. Without his participation the Raiders would be easy pickings considering Jordan has been a dud so far.

Not saying that I think it will happen but that's the other side of 0-3.

I'm very concerned about this game. Not much cushion w/ Philly & NY on deck.
I will sign off now & take your thoughts.

bottom line is this they were one play away from beating the chiefs...very close to beating the eagles and in the game against the pats...they may demolish us...BUT IF we beat them then are we to be considered close to being elite? or is the NFL out of whack more than we know? check this out

we beat the 9ers who beat the rams who beat the titans who beat someone pretty good...cant remember who....but then the 9ers got killed by the eagles and we barely beat the 9ers!....so which is it? parody runs wild thats what I say!

Furthermore you have the tendency to have NFL refs roll over for the marquis team that is starting the season poorly. Keep an eye out for this. As we all know its the holding calls and the non holding calls.

The Raiders do need a win but are also at that breaking point.
They make alot of mistakes and have worse coverage safeties than us.
They will be starting a rookie at CB.

Honestly they are a mess in alot of areas.

No one would eb pickign them except for 1 guy.
As good as Moss is he is being severely overrated in this one matchup.

Amen!!! I agree, they have alot of problems. I like Norv as a OC but not a HC. He isn't discipline enough at all. I watched him here in Wash. DC and he had no control over his team, I see the same thing happening in Cali..

0-3 means they need a win, sure. But teams that have to have a W follow the lead of their coach in terms of attitude, confidence, etc. In this case that would be Norv Turner. He's already failed once as a HC and has to know this loss would be a dagger in this season and maybe his HC'ing career. Maybe he'll be tight. Maybe the Raiders will be tight. I expect some mistakes from them early. If we cash in, I love our chances. If not, or if we make the early mistakes, could be a long day. Just my take.

Let's watch closely this weekend Tripod. I share your concern. Aren't the Raiders the most penalized team in the NFL?
