The Raiders

[Pantherzack179812]

I honestly think, all bias aside(this coming from a guy who thinks we don't win more then 6 games this year), the Raiders are not really better then us.

On paper, we have better receivers then them, a more dynamic offensive play caller, CMC, a better QB.

Then on defense, our front 7 has had 3 out of our last top 2 round picks invested in it, Weatherly, Kawaan Short (Who hopefully will return to form in a new system), Shaq Thompson who has now stepped into Luke's shoes. 

Secondary is where we will struggle, the issue? The Raiders secondary is just as bad as ours.

Jon Gruden imo is not the coach he is all cracked up to be, 10 years $100 million, he's secure enough he's not under pressure to win this year (especially with no fans in their new stadium in LV this year), I don't see it being much of a difference in a coaching battle vs Rhule.

Panthers win this game. 

For anyone who will call me a homer, Tampa wins 56-17 next week, that's my prediction.

We had two threads already on this matchup

Yea, and all are filled with 10pgs of doom and gloom which ultimately lead to Tepper or Cam Newton arguments.

For what it’s worth, I also think we beat the Raiders

This is why we can't have nice things

How many times have these words been said every season through the years and lost those games against the teams we thought were an easy win.

Great movie. The airplane propeller scene is one of the best in all movie history.
