On to the Chiefs

[RaiderandBulldog]

Welp the Raiders and chiefs are birth 3-0 heading into this week.

What more has to be said?

I think the Raiders end up winning this game simply because, for the third week in a row, no one expects them to do so...

a Vegas bookmakers wet dream.

Jeanty is a proven back.

Interesting.

[mranquales]

no, I did not say you made it up, I said there were no official channels that reported it.

Then the host of Redzone on NFL Network repeated it during the early games. That's when I made my post on the forums. I don't care nor need validation; my post didn't even require a reply. (Paraphrasing) "Hell yeah Brock is gonna play" doesn't read like I'm looking for anyone to validate me. You quoted me and insinuated I made that up, which was brilliant trolling, by the way.

I didn't say he was Bijan Robinson, but he is a proven nfl back. With that dog shit situation last year he had some great games. Hes showed his talent level. Washington has too small a sample size to say he's proven, I guess is what I was getting at with that. I think the Raiders need to give him 10-15 carries in a game soon

[mranquales]

If Jeanty is banged up, let him heal and lets give Washington a full game.

I'd love to see his numbers...

Trust me, so do I.

I want Washington to get 20 carries against the Chiefs...

[mranquales]

he can't make elusive cut and/or stiff arm himself out of tackle. He loses his 1vs1.

Except Jeanty plowed through a stacked box to get 12 yards in the clutch. The blocking didn't do him any favors either.

I'd say he's not 100%.

Jeanty balled out against the 12th ranked run defense (Dolphins), so it's not a talent issue.

And if Washington chooses not to fall into that trap and elects to outside zone is he wrong about it? We're yet to figure out our running game while 3 games into season.

I'm not mad at it, it may be why coaches don't trust him with a heaver load though. Kubiak is like Gruden in that he doesn't like a lot of freestyling in his scheme, this is why he prefers veteran players or players who're already familiar with his offense (Nailor, Cousins, White, ect.). Gruden was exactly the same way.

I don't think Jeanty is "dancing" so much as he's listening to his coaches and trusting his teammates to provide a lane, instead of just being a bully (which Jeanty can do as well) and plowing into people.

I also agree with you that our run-blocking in general is not there yet, so I can't knock what Washington is doing, nor can I judge Jeanty for being a team-first player.

But you made your claim the night before, not the morning of.

LOL, give it up you are wrong and you cannot make it right

[Amish Cabal]

I love the way this team is simply finding ways to win. Not perfect. Mistakes made. They're just winning baby. If Kubiak can outfox Andy next week, I'm throwing a block party. (Being I'm the only Raider fan on the block, it'll be just me. But that's how I like it.)

[riseNraid09]

still undefeated, still no respect...

Cousins tied for 1st in TD's thrown (9)

Defense leads the NFL in turnover margin (+5) while also 1st in forced fumbles (10) and 4th in sacks (10)

7th in passer rating allowed and 5th in yards per play

Masses tied for 1st in interceptions

We were in trouble against the Saints as their lines owned us for 3 quarters. Then like someone turned a light switch on the D line exploded and took over, O line got us enough of a running game to make a difference. Can't wait till late to dominate against the Chiefs. D must control Walker, watch Mahomes getting loose, cover the flat for the short pass. O line? Open holes, run the ball. No more having to settle for FG,s when deep in the red zone due to penalties. WE can definitely win the game, Go Raiders!

[Oaktownonly]

Andy will have these guys ready. He won't take us lightly. Can the defense stop Walker and Mahomes? That's a tall task. We are in our infancy on how good we can be. Mahomes has been running Andy's offense for a while now. We're not at their level yet but who knows, maybe we pull this out. I'm not expecting us to win but then again I wasn't expecting us to be 3-0 right now.

[Sloth_Fratelli]

KC has returned to form on offense and with the exception of Indi, they held both Miami and Denver to 10 points.

I'm stoked we started 3-0, but those wins came against teams with a collective 1-8 record.

Long sustained drives that lead to TDs, not field goals, is the only chance we have of winning games.

Clearly we're improved and I don't think we're going to get the traditional stomping that KC gives us, but this one's gonna likely be our first L of the season.

This is the modern NFL. I heard after the Texans beat us in pre season that they were one of the best teams in the AFC.

The record of our opponents is what it is, but the Saints win at Baltimore is more impressive than the Chiefs wins IMO & so far the Saints look like the best team in their division.

We can pull the upset….again

[Rabidraider]

We have beaten KC when we sucked, so this is a winnable game.
