Other than PHILLY :) , St. Louis, Detroit and Oakland, it looks like a tough schedule. KC could be greatly improved this season.
We lost to ST. Louis and almost blew it in Detroit last year. I'm only checking the two games against Philly as Guaranteed wins.

SFREDSKIN 03-11-2009, 03:29 PM Don't laugh, but don't underestimate Oakland. They always play us tough and they have a lot of talent on that roster and we play them on their turf.
GTripp0012 03-11-2009, 03:33 PM Don't laugh, but don't underestimate Oakland. They always play us tough and they have a lot of talent on that roster and we play them on their turf.But, but, but, but...they don't have talent and they aren't at all concerned about getting better. They never draft BPA with their perennial top ten draft pick, and they have no idea who is good in free agency.
We can't just say "yeah, we'll beat them" because we didn't beat them with our best team in the last 8 years (2005), but you already know that they aren't going to be improved over last year.

I don't know if you have looked at their roster? They do have talent, probably one of the best LB trio in the league, awesome RB's (I think Michael Bush could be better than McFadden). I think they could surprise this year. Please stop laughing!!

Please stop laughing!!They don't even have a system to make use of McFadden's versatility though. They drafted him so Lane Kiffin could use him creatively then promptly fired Kiffin for not winning immediately.
The Raiders totally piss away draft picks like no other team in history. They overvalue players for gimmicky reasons, then give up on them really early in their careers.
I don't see how a team that spins its wheels in place professionally could surprise anyone. Every year, there are tons of opportunities to improve, and every year, they throw millions of dollars at simply bad players.
I'm not disagreeing with you that the Raiders have some good young talent. You've just taken a sentimental truth about every team in the NFL (i.e. has young, promising talent) and picked the one team that is most likely to blame it's young talent for it's continued failures as a potential breakout candidate.
The Raiders model for success is to accidentally win, then find out what went right.

They did beat a TB team that was desperate for a playoff spot in Tampa. I'm just saying...
Riggo44 03-11-2009, 03:56 PM Why would you waste time trying to predict wins this time of year? While you’re at it why not try and predict the 2010 draft order and when players will get picked too?
Riggo44 03-11-2009, 03:58 PM I must say I'm looking forward to going to the Chargers and Raiders games. It's not that often that I can see the Redskins play twice in CA during the same season.:httr:
I have a question, why do we play the Rams so much?
K.C. is going to suck again.
just cuz they got cassel doesnt mean shit.
they will continue to be terrible... and he will look like a clown there, they are nothing compared to the Pats
