Under, Sheridan hasn't been very aggressive and I doubt Oakland is able to force us to be aggressive with their offense. We'll just let Webster, Thomas and our secondary shut down the pass.

The Raiders O-line has been remarkably awful. Former team no. 1 pick Gallery is on his 2nd or 3rd slot there & was supposed to be in his make-or-break season, so far he hasnt made it. They've subtracted a lot of the 5-step drop plays from their playbook b/c Russell is running for his life by that time.

vikes_28 · 10-09-2009, 10:02 PM

If the vikings lose this game, Brad Childress should get fired. On the spot.

Wasn't Gallery playing exceptionally well at LG last season? Maybe he's blowning donkey balls this year before the injury, but he looked good the two games I watched and looked really good when I caught him last year. That said our DL is banged up and DC hasn't been very aggressive or creative against teams we haven't needed it, like oakland.

This week the Rams get their first win.

Considering the Browns held Benson to 40 yards through 4 quarters, that may not be wise. The Browns will win.

What Raider games have you been watching? Gallery is actually one of the more underrated OGs in the league. The problem certainly is not at LG. It's pretty much everywhere else especially RT Cornell Green.

How's Mario Henderson doing?

He's actually been doing fairly well. Sort of...

Let's put it this way. The Broncos moved Dumervil to the other side of the line and the Texans did the same with Mario Williams. Now, that might have been because Henderson was just that good, or it could be just that they knew they'd get plenty of push against Cornell Green. So Henderson has been getting the lesser rushers on his side to this point.

I wouldn't say he's a Pro Bowler right now, but he's certainly better than the Raiders have had recently. He's pretty solid. I'd like to see him continue to improve.

Raiderz4Life · 10-10-2009, 01:55 PM

Man...wtf happened to Satele and Barnes and idk who else we brought in to help bolster up the line...FML

Paranoidmoonduck · 10-10-2009, 02:16 PM

Yeah, apparently the Dolphins knew what they were doing when they ditched Satele. He's been a total non-factor who was beat out handily by Chris Morris. Not having Barnes be healthy enough to keep Green off the field is a huge problem. The fact that Oakland has had Cornell Green start the majority of the games at right tackle for three seasons now is the sadest ******* thing I've ever heard.

yo123 · 10-10-2009, 04:21 PM

What a terrible week of games. There are like 3 or 4 games that interest me at all.

Two that I will actually go out of my way to watch.

49ers - Falcons and Jets - Dolphins. Other than that, it's very 'meh.'

yo123 · 10-10-2009, 05:13 PM

I'd go Atlanta-San Fran, New England-Denver, Cincy-Baltimore, And Minnesota-St. Louis (for obvious reasons)

Raiderz4Life · 10-10-2009, 05:21 PM

Cincy - Baltimore I missed, that should be a good one. New England - Denver doesn't appeal to me other than the whole protege vs. mentor storyline with Belichick and McDaniels. New England should win that easily, in my opinion. Their defense is coming around and even still, I'm not a fan of Denver.

vikes_28 · 10-11-2009, 12:47 AM

I am so scared the Vikings are going to lose. Playing winless teams freaks me out.

Depends on the team. Talented winless teams scare me more than not so talented weak teams.

for example, I'd rather play the Lions at 1-3 than the Titans at 0-4. I know it doesn't exactly make sense, but I guess my reason is that there is always that sense of impending mistakes your team is going to make while that talented winless team is going to suddenly wake up and play lights out.

Chucky · 10-11-2009, 08:56 AM

Going to the Bucs game today.

WOOOOO

ATLDirtyBirds · 10-11-2009, 09:06 AM

Awesome. The distribution maps showed that I wouldn't get the Falcons game, but I checked my TV and I will indeed be getting it. **** yes to not having to watch a stream for the first time this season!

RAVENS/WIZARDS/ORIOLES · 10-11-2009, 09:11 AM

Ravens 28-10 over the Bungals
