Game Day Thread: Raiders try to rebound vs. the sinking Rams

[RunOverByHubbard]

Will Stafford regain his footing or will the Raiders bring enough heat on him to cause the Rams to fall further behind in the NFC West? It’s a good test for the Raiders to see if we can take it to a team more injured than we are.

I think we will and we will get close to 100 rushing yards. Raiders 27, Rams 23.

Probably the easiest team we have face, compared to the last three games; Raiders really need to win here….

A full strength Ram team should easily beat the raiders but they are hurting big time right now….really think we can win this one

I'll be at the game today. Rams remind of the superteam Eagles Nmamdi Asomoghua signed up with. They've imploaded and suffering injury bug. At the start of the season, this was among the toughest games. At the moment, they're on the list of "beatable" teams..it won't be easy, but I think we can steal this one. LFG!!!

[FLORIDARAYDAH]

I will be at the game and hoping for a win. We have a shot but it wont be easy. We need to get pressure on Stafford or he will pick us apart even with their WR problems. They have a solid 1-2 punch at RB that they will try to get rolling. On D Donald still is a monster.
Hoping we get our run game going and put some points on the board early

I think it's 50/50 we win this one. If the D can step up a bit and the running game improves..... we could win this one.

Reports are they are optimistic about puka playing today. So it gets a little harder if he does. But still winnable. But we have to go out there and play good ball. Can't have another pats game

[raider_kin]

Need to see more creative play calling

[Willmark]

This is a must win against the Lambs.

If Puka is out or limited this is a winnable game...Go Raiders!!!

Yeah I think people are blowing the wr injury thing out of proportion a bit. They had injuries at wr last year and simply ran 12-13 personnel and really didn't miss a beat. Does it make easier to beat them with Puca & Adams out? It sure does. But it's not an automatic win like many here are thinking. Especially for this Raider team as we aren't that good yet

Im afraid they will run it down our throats. We have to stop the run. I think it will be a close game but no gimme for sure. We are home and 3.5 point underdogs. Hoping we pull out the win

[Smucky]

If we score more points than the Rams today, I really think we will win this game.

[raider_kin]

We are facing a very experienced qb and if we don't pressure him he will pick us apart no matter who the receivers are

Have we mastered the basic play calls yet? Has the oline gelled yet?

Not sure we are ready for too many “creative” play calls that can go ugly quickly.
