A Silver Lining after a tough Raider loss

Good post. We have 10 games left, and we're 3-3 right now. Our defense is playing well. We weren't a very good team today, but we can still win some games. i see us at 9-7 at the end of the season.

 

Thank god a thread that might make my stomach less nauseous.

 

The only silver lining is the run blocking. Everything else sucked. I mean, the defense was fine, but the Raiders have a bad offense.

 

So you are saying at 4-2 we could cruise into the Chiefs game in great shape... Now I feel worse.

 

It was an absolutely terrible loss, but I agree. We're 6 games into the season, and we've shown a hell of a lot more than we showed this game.

 

this lost totally sucked. there is no silver lining here. we should be 4-2 right now. 5-2 after the kc game. probably playing for 1st place @ buffalo.

 

terrible lose...no other way to slice it imo.

 

More likely a silver and black lining for a game that should be buried and forgotten.

 

We're 6 games into the season, there are plenty of teams that can say they're still in the playoff race. At the end of the season though, most of them won't be. The other teams with similar records to ours that you expect in the playoffs have had tough schedules and injuries to overcome. As they get healthier, they'll get better, but we've been healthy and we lose games to teams that we shouldn't lose to. Down the stretch we'll do that some more, whereas these teams won't.

Well, I dunno, I'm hoping we get better and get hot, but you certainly don't celebrate losses.

 

That loss was a sickener. A lot of people need to wake up fast.

 

This is a bad, bad loss. No sliver lining, more like shit brown for the way this game was played.

 

When you lose to a shit team,you really can't find the silver lining in being 3-3 anf the topic of playoffs. Were going to have to play much better teams in a few weeks to even keep above water. then the playoffs....whats the point if you cant beat the shit teams

 

We lost to the Raiders. We suck.

 

There's no silver lining because no matter how hard the guys play, the CS is going to fuck up the game by poor play calling or poor decison making.

If we had reason to believe the CS would improve, that's a silver lining. Other than that, what hope is there?

 

Bad loss. How can this team put that few points on the board?

 

I wonder if the reason the run blocking was so good was because Callahan wanted to stick it to Davis.

 

I'm sure the players blocked extra hard because Bill Callahan was once fired by Al Davis...

 

yes i have a thought...you have a brain and i like it...thank you for not being a moron...

 

Playoffs???! I just hope we can win a game.

Because they play down to the level of their opponent. Right down the penalties, apparently.
