You know in many and many of ways Coach Cable does remind me of a mini John Madden. I`m bold, I already know this. Anyway, Lets just dream for a moment please my nation brothers and sisters. I know"IF" is a big word. Lets feel since we won our last 2 games in convinceing fashion @ the end of last year and that now we best be at our maximum strength and stay the course, we end up winning siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiixxxx maybe 8. I`m feeling that Denver`s lost to the Ravins is the beginning of thier drop off. Therefore this Division can be won @ 7-9 or 8-8. Almost like last year. i know it sounds far fetched.
This can only happen if and when our normall starters our healthy and they respect the job the back ups have done thus far. Time for this team to get NASTY !!!!!!!!

Short of Brady, any of the Mannings, or Roethlisbuger commin here there is no way we win even 3 more games. After 7 long and painful years, reality has finally set in. Heck J bust is so bad, Rich Gannon could unretire the Saturday night before the next game and give us 3 times the chances to win maybe even five. But just like the chances of any of those quarterbacks commin here, so are the chances we win even three more games. This sucks.

If this team plays loose with nothing to loose. They can win 5 more games. stop trying to win and just trust in each other and play loose. Throw your bodies into it. the raiders have the talent to win. go Raiders!!!

We're going to be healthy after the bye week, but I have a hard time thinking that we will win 6 of these last 8 games. I can see us winning at home against KC and Washington and then on the road against the Browns. 5-11 is probable. Outside those 3 teams we have to play teams with a combined record of 25-10. We also have to play the #1 overall defense along with the #1, #3, #4 and #5 run defenses in the league. We have already shown that we have trouble running the ball and even though the Bengals and Cowboys are at the bottom of the league in passing yards allowed per game, we wont stand a chance if we can't establish our offense which has been the main problem all year. Not saying we can't beat the Bengals, Ravens, Cowboys, Steelers or Broncos.... just saying that we will have to play tons better. I think we play well against the Cowboys, but CJ is going to get picked on all game so we need to deliver

Even with those players back the team has lost before....None of them are difference makers...Schillens,Gallery,McFadden....We have lost all these games with them starting...So... The team will improve but not that much...

None of them are difference makers and thats true, but we haven't seen Schilens this year and he could be the difference maker for Russell. All we need is a little bit of help from the WRs and we could open up our passing game. Granted, it has to go through Russell, but any spark on this team would help. If the passing game opens up so will the run.

Lets see if Schillens can open the passing game a little bit....hopefully....What i give Schillens credit for is that he made great catches last year on the erratic passes by Jamarcus.... yeah he made plenty of those...
Looks like he´s like he is gonna have to do it again this time... We´el see
