Emp, the raiders don’t suck. They’re finally playing up to their potential despite having had one of the most unanimously criticized off seasons that I can remember. Gutted their offensive line, signed FA RBs, overdrafted leatherwood, on and on. And yet they are a much better team than last year, plus the signing of bradley despite how much we disliked his late game approach has made their defense respectable which has in turn leveled up a team that already had a very good offense.

I believe the chargers can and will beat the raiders but it’s going to be a dogfight. Who knows what the final outcome might be, but I’m expecting a nail biter with the chargers pulling out a close game. Raiders suck. I think the chargers match up well with the raiders. They have the least competent offensive line we’ve faced this season which bodes well for our running defense woes. They also haven’t played a single team that is competent on offense, ravens, steelers, and dolphins all have glaring offensive issues that the chargers don’t, specifically none of those teams can push the ball down the field with any consistency. I think raider defense hasn’t been properly tested yet. Our defense is set up to bog down their passing attack like the with KC and unlike KC the raiders offensive line should not overpower our defensive tackles in the run game. I think slater will handle his business but norton will need some help, both crosby and ngokwue have been getting pressure plus they bring nassib off the bench and he’s been really effective too

Last time these two teams played was december 17 2020, 5-9 chargers vs the 7-7 raiders on Thursday night football. It’s interesting that storm norton started that game at right tackle. He was the best charger lineman in that game If that doesn’t reflect how much improved the offensive line is, then I don’t know what would. His PFF grade for that game was 59.1 which is not great but he was almost 17 points higher than our lowest graded lineman in that game, trai turner came in at 42.6 or something like that :0 I don’t have the game on my dvr anymore but you can find the highlights on youtube and he struggled against nassib allowing a couple QB hits and pressures but from the highlights it looks like he did better against crosby, IDK. I would need to watch the whole game. One thing that stood from those highlights was how fast herbert was getting rid of the ball. He would’ve gotten killed otherwise even tho he took a beating anyways. It’s important to keep in mind that the raider secondary was much much worse last year and they didn’t have ngakoue opposite of crosby and nassib. With morhig and that 5th round corner that’s exceeding expectations plus the addition of Hayward, their secondary is much better now. And that means herbert might hold the ball a bit longer than last year, IDK. I just thought it was interesting that norton started that game too.

Fantastic news especially considering they cut eric banks today Jones’ presence is desperately need on Monday night. The report says limited in practice but i’m hopeful. I don’t think they would’ve let banks go if they weren’t sure if jones could play monday.

Is this bulletin board material?
Derrick Carr says playing away games at the chargers is just another home game for the raiders “no disrespect” he says, so why does that piss me off so much?

The most important implication of that is we get to beat them in front of their fans twice. I hope Carr is knocked out at “home.”
