29th in total offensive yards.
Dead last in total offensive points scored.
They haven't scored a TD in 3 weeks.
They've been averaging 7 points per game over the past 5 games.
Last week, they 2-17 on 3rd downs.
We better beat these guys!
And if you are supersticious and believe in jinxes, then don't worry: I started a Broncos Defense Sucks thread before the Denver game, and we still won.

How's their defense look? They've got a hell of a punter.
'Sides of which that is only on paper. -

I'm serious. We will not throw the ball to #21's side of the field. You'll see. If he sticks Ginn, Ginn will not only have zero catches, but he'll have zero balls thrown to him. The dude is that good. -
Andrew Walter, the Raiders' QB, has a decent arm but is slow as hell. I assume he is the starter? I think JaMarcus Russell is a bigger bust than Ryan Leaf.

This is a game, when you look at it on paper, we should easily win. Proceed with caution though... we should have easily beat seattle too :up: It's the NFL... anything can happen. Thats why we watch.

The jury is still out on Russell. Even if he is a bust, put him up there with Tim Couch and David Carr (other #1 overall busts at QB), but don't compare him to Leaf. Leaf was just a dick. -

If arashomdo covers just one side of the field we should run an oop de oop, load up the other side with bess, cammy, ginn. Then stick Wilford on the same side as arshamondo. haha.

If I'm granted the opportunity to take a 3-0 win before hand, I'm taking it. -
I had to do it. -

Offensively, I really want to see us run the ball. A lot. If we can run consistently we won't have to worry about throwing the ball. Raiders are also 29th in rush defense, so that's going right at one of their weaknesses.
Defensively, I'm hoping for Joey Porter to have a big day. I'd like to see us jump out to a lead, as that will force Oakland to pass, allowing Porter to rush the passer. If he does, I think he will be pretty successful.
On paper, it should be a good game. I think Oakland keeps it closer than most are thinking. 27-13 Dolphins. -
Well as others have said any team can win on any day. So we have to realize that no matter what the paper stats say its how these teams play on the field that determines who wins. So by that logic both teams have a 50% chance of winning.
The Fins just need to come out and play hard and smart. -
As some have already stated; they still have to play the game.
But......I know of a pretty cool website that figures probabilities, etc. According to them the Raiders have a 13% chance of winning and we have an 87% chance. If you're interested the link is below. It's kind of a fun site if you're in to numbers and all.

this guy sound like he needs a mic in his hands and not a football :lol: -
I suspect Rivers is responsible for the Chargers struggles. Playing down to the opponent is an attitude problem, and I think it starts with Rivers. -

Yeah, and the Texans, and the Ravens and most would agree even the Jests... -
Rivers is somewhat responsible for their struggles. He plays three good quarters and then loses the game in the fourth with turnovers. However, I don't think he's a bigger problem then that defensive line, linebacking core, secondary and their Head Coach.
