1. We have found our running game (back-to-back 100+ yard games).
2. Raiders pass defense ranks 30th is pass efficiency (allowing 109.1 rating), 30th in yards per game (283.2), and 31st in tds (24).
3. Return of A J Green.
4. Return of Cordy Glenn. Not a star, but better than what we have been running out there.
5. Finley is over the "first game jitters".
So, a more calm and confident QB, with a much better WR, a better run game. and a better LT, playing against one of the worst pass defenses in the league.
What could possibly go wrong?
Well, I know you're trying to spread some light in the darkness.
Raiders are actually 10th in rushing yards allowed. Probably because everyone just throws on them. Mixon having one game over 100 doesn't exactly set a trend so we'll see there.
3 and 4 just made me laugh. They return to the practice field? Or the doctor?
2 and 5, Finley is who we thought we was. At least most people.
You are an eternal optimist.
