What a great game! Despite the result, this is NOT the same ol' Raiders. They're gonna be a helluva team.

BTW looks like all the hits over the years are starting to take a toll on Big Ben. I don't think we'll ever see another full season from him.

Yep.


Game wise though, man is AB a beast. 306 total yards from scrimmage? Amazing. Deangelo also had a nice burst again, peeling off a couple big runs. Even with the defense forgetting how to cover for a few of the TD passes Carr threw, I'm impressed with Butler.

Turnovers are up, they're hitting harder, if only we could get some pressure on the QB.

Yup, been thinking the same for a few years. Eventually the wheels are just going to fall off and I think we're seeing that now unfortunately.

Reminds me of some of those Madden-Raider teams of the 70's minus the defense. Still an exciting team with AC-DC, and others.
