Lets talk about the Raiders

[HappyOnions]

On paper, we should win without a lot of problems...

However, I see this playing out like the Thanksgiving game of 2 years ago against Miami. Miami wasn't a good team, but they were playing the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, on a national stage and they gave us everything they had. I expect the same from Oakland so I would not take them lightly. Get a lead, and keep our foot on the pedal...no taking them for granted.

i feel like Dunbar and Murray are going to both have a huge day

Raider fans are fairly jacked about Jennings starting. I do not recall watching him play. I see he is a big back and run for 553 yds on the year and is averaging 5.1 ypc. Anyone know anything about him?

Came over from Jacksonville if I remember correctly. I didn't know much about him during his days in JAX as he was always behind MJD on the depth chart...but clearly he's been productive this season. Not very fast, but he's a big back...6'1" about 230...could be like going against another Andre Brown.

Ryan Fitzpatrick was 30-42 threw 2 TD's passing and 320 yards on them yesterday. Ryan Fitzpatrick!?

Justin Hunter, who? and Kendall Wright, who? both went for over 100 yards receiving.

That is not a legit pass defense.

Yes, but it's amazing how many times Dallas has failed to take advantage of "not a legit pass defense."

We'll probably go back to allowing the defense to double Dez and throwing short passes than end with stalled drives. (For that matter, despite getting the ball to Dez yesterday, we still didn't play like we have a prolific offense. --- will give some of the credit for that to the weather conditions)

This is a trap game and will be very tough! I expect another single digit win... I'll say Dallas by 4!

I'd love to see the Boys drop the hammer on the Raiders and pull starters in the 3rd quarter.

 

[TrailBlazer]

McGloin is starting. I watched a lot of his college games at Penn State, and he was not very good. I can't think of any way we lose this game. I can't remember ever being this confident that the cowboys were going to win.

 

[snapper]

I could be wrong but I think they've been running the ball failry well. Stopping the run would be a huge challenge for this defense.

 

[Ashwynn]

They have Jenkins. I'd throw on him all day. If he goes to the sideline to rest, call a timeout until he's rested and throw on him some more.

thats funny.

 

[Vintage]

A rookie getting his 3rd start..................................if we lose to that........................entire coaching staff fired on the spot.

Agreed. And if the Cowboys lose, the entire fan base should be executed.

They have been running the ball fairy well. Jennings esp. seems light on his feet...

How can this Dallas team have a "trap game" in front of it? Every game is a struggle. There is no cheese to be eaten.

We know they are good at finding cheese

Well then, cover the field with paper...

Umm, didn't crappy Nick Foles throw for 7 Touchdowns on them???

ROFL

Did you happen to watch any other Eagles games this season aside from the one against us? If not, may want to look at Foles season aside from that one.

My best friend is a die hard raiders fan never misses a game and alot of times when dallas isnt playing he is over my house and we watch there games together. From everygame ive watched when they are at there best its when there defensive line is getting pressure. I know that can be said about many teams however it seems like there defensive line plays when it wants to. It looks down right unstopable when its at its best. Then there are games where it completely disappears. (Remind you guys of a team?) I really believe this game comes down to our OL vs there DL.

Raiders head coach played for Texas AM and is from Hurst, I went to High School and Jr High w/him (he was couple of years older) that's all I know about Oakland these days.....
