Week 13: Kansas City at Oakland

The battle of the worst of the AFC West this weekend in the Bay Area.  You really can’t look at this game any other way.  Kansas City comes in trying to turn things around after giving up 54 points at home to the Buffalo Bills. Oakland has other plans I’m sure.
The Raiders come home after [...]

Two in a Row?

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving Raider fans!
My name is Scott Allen, lead blogger for the Arizona Cardinals fan site, Raising Zona. I am substituting this weekend and wanted to introduce myself.  Let me be honest by starting off saying, I’m definitely not a fan of the Raiders.  This franchise is in a state of disarray [...]

Better, But Still a Lot of Work to be Done

There’s not a lot to report on yesterday’s 17-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers. As most of you know, it was blacked out to those of us in the Bay Area.
The Raiders defense gave a fantastic statistical performance. They held the Panthers to 219 total yards and forced 4 Jake Delhomme interceptions. The change in [...]

Game Thoughts and Prediction - Carolina @ Oakland

The Carolina Panthers, yet another tough NFC South opponent, come to Oakland this week. The Raiders are still smarting from last week’s 24-0 loss to Atlanta. It was complete domination by the Falcons. Do we expect anything different this week?

A New Low

453-77…Atlanta’s total yardage versus Oakland’s.
201-10…Difference in total passing yardage.
252-67…Difference in total rushing yardage.
30-3…….Difference in first downs.
45:15-14:45.…Difference in time of possession.
Atlanta 24, Oakland 0. The Raiders are achieving new levels of ineptitude.
There’s not much else to say about the game. Other than the punting game, Atlanta completely dominated the Raiders. Of course, when an opponent gets [...]

Game Thoughts and Prediction - Atlanta @ Oakland

When last season ended, the Raiders and Falcons had something in common. Both teams were considered NFL bottom feeders, having just completed 4-12 seasons. Still reeling from the Michael Vick saga, the Falcons were thought to be years away from relevance. But, in the league that encourages absolute parity, things can change quickly.
Led by rookie [...]
