Things that worry me about the Raiders game:
1. We're 0-10 in Oakland (I don't think we've been there recently though - so these results aren't very relevant to 2015)
2. Derek Carr reminds me a lot of Dalton (that's pretty much a good thing - Carr is solid)
3. Latavius Murray, Amari Cooper and Crabtree make for a decent group of weapons
That's about it. Their defense finished dead last in '14 and the offense finished 31st. The Bengals are sooooo much more talented that this game shouldn't be close. I expect a big day for our offense. It's okay to be confident in your team every now and then. It won't be a jinx. If this were a playoff game, it'd be different.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
