OK this team is fucking 4-2 and they've beaten strong competition - DEN, TB, ATL.

Luckily for us their pass D is ranked 26th so their DBs are suspect to say the least.

Their offense is ranked #25. In comparing our offenses, it seems like we're driving a Shelby Cobra and they're driving a Ford Fusion. On paper this team sucks ass.

That should play right into our hands but it begs the question: How the FUCK is this team 4-2??? That tells me there's more going on with this team than what their stats reveal. There's an X-factor somewhere, and I'm not sure what it is.

Because of that and the fact that it's a road game I'll call it a reasonably close game. Raiders win 27-23

Raiders cruise >> 31 - 17

If Carr and our offense look like last week and week 1 and 2 we win. If Carr has a bad game, turnovers etc we lose. Simple as that. Buffalo won't be easy in their place. They always play us tight in Western NY. Think game will go 27-24 either way

Bills Dolphins Patriots and Broncos coming up is our season. All AFC opponents that could compete for a wildcard so theres tie breaker implications in these games. We win all four we sit at 7-4 with the NY Giants coming to Oakland. Have to win at least three of these four games to have any shot at least a wildcard.

The X factor for the bills is their QB, Tyrod Taylor. He reminds me of Terrelle Pryor when he damn near won against an Andrew Luck led Colts team a few short years ago. Everybody knew he couldn't read defenses let alone make all the throws, but his legs extended multiple drives.
Colts defensive players said after that game they were simply exhausted.
Taylor is going to be a handful this Sunday.
Mcoy moves the chains and is good for a long run or two every game.

Unfortunately I have to be a buzzkill prick and pick Buffalo. Our defense is too shitty. Bowman or no Bowman we still gave up 30 points last week. Again. But still........FUCK BUFFALO! Let’s go in there without that worthless fuck Lynch, who is now running over high school kids at the local ghetto & Win! I predict a loss but I. The end it’s JUST WIN!

We won last week in spite of Lynch getting tossed. We don't need him although he can get tough yardage sometimes. We're a passing team, thats our identity. Downing has to get the ball to Patterson Richard and Washington in space to utilize their speed and quickness, throw in a wrinkle fer Christsake with all the talent we have on offense. We're too predictable many times. I like Carr rolling out, those plays seem to get us outside the numbers yardage. Wish Hue Jackson got fired and plug him in here as the OC. Downing is a novice obviously.

It will be interesting to see if Olawale can step into Lynch's role and produce. Dude has never run for more than 24 yds in a game in his whole career. And he has only 3 rushing TDs in his entire career as well.

We have no fucking secondary for this game. Amerson, Conley and Joseph all out.

I will now change my prediction. Buffalo wins 30-27.

Looks like Luani will get the starting nod, I really like this kid.
Also, the RB we drafted but sent to the practice squad is now on the active roster (hood?).
I forgot his name.... big bulking back who says he runs like Lynch. Anybody know his name?
