Week 3 pre-game discussion... we're on to Oakland...

[oldrover]

I mean LA... I mean Oakland again... wait, now I mean Vegas... Vegas? Seriously?

How about just...

 

[jimnance]

Gonna be a tough game. Jacobs probably #1 priority for D.
Waller is a baller.

Pats giving 6 to 6.5
O/U 48

 

[jimnance]

Spreads too big

 

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

Zero chance we win by two scores. This is a good team, it'll be a grind.

 

[oldrover]

Derek Carr looked darn good against the Saints last night. This could be another shoot-out...



...Cam, once again you're gonna hafta cowboy up.

Raiders looked great last night. Another test for our secondary.

Another test for our secondary.

Raiders leading receivers are Darren Waller, a TE and Josh Jacobs, a RB. No receiver on that team has more than 5 receptions and 60 yards

It's more the way Carr is playing. Similar to Cam he is playing great with the receivers he has. He is completing 73% of his passes and has 4 TDs with no picks. Impressive.

Okay... so the Raiders are better on O than D... the Pats are doing okay on both... and the Ravens are off the charts.

...if I'm reading this correctly...

I think his point was that it's not necessarily going to be a game where our corners are challenged. Linebackers and safeties will need to be involved. Their receiving corps is average. I'm wary of Ruggs' speed, but it should be a good test for facing Hill, who may be a step faster.

I expect a bounce-back performance from the defense, since they won't have to fear Carr's legs quite as much. I do expect him to pick up a first down here and there, but he's not the elusive threat that Wilson is.

I hope so. I am very weary of our LBs and teams eating us up in the middle. Carr can throw the ball every bit as good as Wilson. Our corners will be tested.

[Keyser Söze]

Our LBs need to step it up this game.

 

[Kontradiction]

I wonder if we will see Gilmore on Waller and Jackson on Ruggs with a safety shaded to his side?

 

[Uptown]

 

[Guts]

I would've penciled this game as a guaranteed W, but seeing them against NO on MNF I was impressed by them. I still think we win, but it is definitely not going to be easy.

I would give JJ Williams a shot
