The Raiders got ran last week. They looked overmatched versus a desperate Dolphins team.
Now, they’re playing a Denver team that beat them this season. It was the first time the Raiders lost to the Broncos in years.
Denver starts a rookie quarterback. Their run game has been up and down. This defense is super stout despite the lack of big names.
The Raiders have a winnable game in front of them. Some folks may want them to lose to move up in the NFL Draft order. Personally, I am tired of losing. I don’t want to give a win to a division foe. Don’t forget this Broncos team was as bad as we were last season. Some how they have once again flipped the script. They leaped frog us in the rebuild and the standings.
At this point, it is about playing for some pride. Again, we want to see the team respond under Antonio Pierce. We want to see a spark on offense and effort on defense. They need to establish some sort of identity.
Run the ball, rush the QB, create some turnovers and don’t settle for field goals. That’s all I got.
