State of the Raiders

Lets hope Porter is cheering more of his teams misfortune on Sunday.

I think it would be kinda cool for one of the Ravens to run over to the Raiders' bench after a good play and hug/high five Porter. Of course, you'd have to call Porter before the game and make sure he's cool w/ it.

Dude's seriously disaffected. Exploit him.

BS

That would be funny, but it might be tough to pull off without the ref thinking it's taunting/unsportsmanlike conduct.

It is obviously too early to read anything into league rankings after only one game, but I can't help but notice that the Raiders are last in run offense and the Ravens are first in run defense. That's what you call a favorable matchup for us. Oakland can't run. And when you consider that they also can't pass block, if the first game is anything to go on, how do they move the ball on us?

It's been ages since I've felt so confident about a game. Seriously, barring turnovers and special teams screwups (which clearly can't be ruled out), they will have trouble scoring in this game. If we take a ten point lead, I'll think the game is over. I shouldn't think that, but I will.

Trick plays and/or blown coverage. Moss is still very much a threat.

Our emotions have been snakebit by previous give me games vs Oakland and Detroit.Both became withering attacks on our fan confidence.
But I really think this teams attitude is different this year.The lights are on,
the way the Ravens didn't letup in Tampa is a great sign.
