Chargers at Raiders Pre Game Thread (Wk 13)

[SK21209]

The way I see it, the Raiders are loaded with talent on offense and defense. They have been underperforming for whatever reason.

Carr passed for 295 yards in our first game this season and Jacobs was held to 57 yards. Davante Adams had 141 receiving yards.

I would guess the Raiders are healthier than the Chargers since our last game and it’s a home game for the Raiders.

To save his job and gain some respect, JoshMcDaniel is going to be extremely motivated to crush the Chargers with a massive win.

If Linsley doesn’t return along with our other injuries, I would say Chargers chances are slim and none of coming away with a win.

If Chargers do win, Staley deserves some heavy praise!

I don't think the current incarnation of the Raiders are that talented. Adams and Jacobs are awesome but Waller and Renfrow are on IR and out for this game. Carr hasn't been good this year. Crosby is a beast but Chandler Jones has been a massive disappointment and Hobbs is on IR. Perryman has been solid for them. Overall, they're a very one-dimensional offense and a bad defense. With some or all of Bosa/Linsley/Mike out, there's no team in the league I'm totally confident in beating but this Raiders team isn't very good.

I have to apologize ahead of time. I will be at the game and my record at live games sucks (including last year's epic OT game in Vegas). That said, it's gonna be a great weekend in Vegas with the Utes in the Pac 12 Championship (whew) and the Chargers at the Raiders! But...I'll say it now because it will be my fault. SORRY!

You have now been designated as the Vegas good-luck charm for the Bolts. A new beginning. Stay safe at the game, there will be many pissed-off Raider fans after the loss.

If there was ever a game appropriate for just letting out frustrations of the season it's this one, I hope to see a 3 hour celebration/beatdown where we completely dominate because we're much better.
Want to see Ekeler throw an LT-type vintage, halfback TD pass to Everett. That kind of game.

Mike Williams was taped up heavily after that catch against the Chiefs as if might have returned. He was walking on it. 10 yards of tape and he’ll most likely play. He may sit out all this weeks practices. It was a non contact injury. He just came down on it wrong is all.

Allen’s hamstring was a non contact injury. JC Jackson’s dislocated knee was a non contact injury too and may be career ending.

I want to see three…no, four sacks of Carr.

[ChargersPowderBlue]

I'll be surprised, to be honest, if the Raiders can put forth this type of effort two weeks in a row. The Chargers aren't going to let Jacobs explode like the 'Hawks did.

With the defense that lets opponents run all over them? The run defense that has trouble tackling?

[QSmokey]

Rather than counting the number of sacks we hope to see, or the number of TDs we're going to score, or how dominate we might be...I'm hoping our doofus coaching staff is divining a way to stop Josh Jacobs from getting 300 total yards; or Devante Adams from getting 150 yards in receptions; or Maxx Crosby from getting 5 sacks all by himself.
