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 [...]

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?

What makes the move so shocking is that he signed a 7 year, $70 million deal after his trade from Atlanta. He’s been less than stellar on the field lately, but is that enough reason to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
