    I wonder if we've seen Jamaal Charles play his last snap in the NFL. I hope not, it would be a shame if he retired injured. The most efficient RB in NFL history and a fantasy stud.

    Love the attitude and optimism. I must admit I am not as optimistic about next weekend myself. The home form has been poor and I wonder has that been partly to do with the fact that the Raiders look almost certain to be leaving Oakland. It has been notable as well that in the road games there has been significantly bigger then normal numbers of Raiders fans in attendance and being very vocal and I wonder has that also played a part in the 5-0 start on the road.

    it's indeed strange, how well the Raiders have performed away from home. as you say it's like there's no real home at the moment. I have just recently moved apartments and from the day I knew I was about to move I had not felt home anymore. Perhaps something similar is going on in the head's of our players.

    Here's what's going on:
    Mack with his best game of the season
    Carr with another monster game (3 TD 1 INT)
    Crabs and Cooper won't either break 100 yards, but they will be ready when it matters

    24-21

    I got Monday off work to stay up for the game so hoping we can make it to 7-2 and Mack gets another 5 sacks against Broncos.

    Mike Wallace, thank you I've not laughed like that for a long time and I don't think I've ever laughed watching someone score a TD.

    Perfect play, by the perfect player, against the perfect team.

    I really hate Prevent defense. The Vikings would have won this game had they just kept playing regular Defense. Instead of that they play soft and the Lions have just won.

    Hope you managed to stay up long enough to enjoy that one. What a great performance by the Raiders last night. For me easily the most complete performance of the season so far. The Raiders literally grinding the much vaunted Broncos defense into the dirt. The 30-20 winning margin was a lot closer then this game actually was as the Raiders completely dominated in all parts of the game. The most pleasing aspect for me was the significant improvement on the defensive side by the Raiders. There were still some bad plays and mistakes but this was overall a solid showing from the Raiders D and if the Raiders D can keep improving then with the potent offense things might get real interesting with what this team can do.

    I thought the Raiders had been lucky this season, but last night shows they are a legit team.

    Great to watch too :50:

    Was a must win last night, couldn't underestimate the Browns as bad as they are. A lot of positives even if its against a pish team. Perriman big touchdown, defence having their way, Dixon looking good, Waller has looked good and got a TD.
