Raiders banged up on the OL with Penn OT on IR and Hudson C ankle\ilness, It is time for Bosa & Ingram to have a big game they have been quiet lately we need them as a tandem to step up like Bosa 2 sacks , and Ingram 1 sack minimum. Rattle David Carr early we win, that is if we don't let Beast Mode go crazy.

I'm seeing some books now at -9, weird. I think it will be a close game myself, but Carr probably won't have both regular tackles. Perryman might be available, and Okung will be if he could prove to the coaches that he could play more than a half. Pagano did improve the Raider D, by doing what he normally does... simplify after over complicating things. Lane Johnson didn't look good vs. Mack in the last game, but Foles needs more time than Rivers.

Lynn seems to think Perryman will be good to go

Bosa has been invisible the past few games - wonder if he is wearing down.

[Heatmiser]

Rich, I was thinking same thing. He hasn't had a sack in what, 4 games? Bradley for some reason has stopped a lot of the stunts and twists that Bosa excels at. Perhaps to help with the run defense, but I don't know enough to qualify that. Last game, Bosa had a lot of isolation on the RT and could not get home.

This game tells me a lot about Lynn. If the Chargers lay an egg....well we have had plenty of coaches like that. If the Chargers pound the crap out of the Raiders, and they should, it means Lynn is for real. Playoffs or not.

Lets hope so but he only carried the ball a 188 times this year

[Bolt-O]

Phillips out. Gordon, Liuget, Perryman, Okung questionable.

[OhioBolt]

Phillips out may not be a bad thing if we get a heavy dose of Beast Mode we need more weight and power, hopefully Perryman is a go. Best case scenario we blow the Raiders out early and of course Tennessee loses. Then come early 4th quarter we rest up guys like Okung, Perryman, Hayward, and Gordon if he makes it that far. Go Chargers, Go! Blow them Faiders out!

[Charged4Life]

i think we're too beat up to win this game. I'm okay with that. It's been a fun season anyways. Even those first four games were more/less competitive.

Good luck to us.
