Are the Raiders...

[Thick 'N Hearty]

a mirror of the Cowboys? They have a pocket passer, great receiving corps, quality RB, physical pass receiving TE. Decent OL.

The only difference IMO is the defense are different, probably moreso in scheme than ability. They did shut down a pretty good Eagle offense (even though it is a little banged up)

:disseags:

True, they held an Eagles team to 23 points. But McNabb threw for over 360 yards.

The same Eagles team which held a 49er team to 9 points. The same 49er team which scored 31 points against us.

These analogies are scary and are pretty much useless. But if anything, it's a basis for comparison.

The bottom line, we have to play better (alot better) than we did against the 49ers if we want to beat the Raiders.

i think the raiders O line sucked yesterday, at least at run blocking. gordon had 19 yards on 16 carries, or do we think the eagles are that good against the run ?

The Eagles have a strong D. It's been that way for a long time. Their D is much better than ours. But we have Jeckyl and Hyde working for us ... which one of our D's shows up? The one which held Tomlinson and Portis to under 70 yards? Or the one which let the 49er RB's run all over us???

Our defense was awful for the first half....they seemed unprepared and when we started to fall behind it was like everyone was confused and things snowballed..... must have made some adjustnments at halftime cause they got it together a little better. But the team looked like they didnt know what hit em in the first half.

The biggest difference is the Cowboy Killer Mr Randy Moss

Are we ever going to get away from this guy? I'd rather face Moss with Collins as a QB then Culpepper though.
