If there is one thing that the Raiders can take out for a fact from the win at Denver, it is the confirmation that this team has talent—talent that has yet to collaborate and break out as it did in Denver.
A near perfect game by J-Russ, two TDs by D-Mac, a 100+ yard rushing by the "warhorse" in Fargas (not "workhouse" in my books!), CJ showing us why he should have gotten the contract that was awarded to Hall, Lelie torching his ex-team, Howard enforcing the "law" and then it was just Nnamdi being Nnamdi!
All of that was what culminated into what I deemed the “Denver Demolition Derby” (DDD for short)! The second coming of D-day!
Now lets just take a quick step back and look at the potential the rest of the season holds for Oakland. Understanding that The AFC west is one of the most competition-deprived divisions of this league, the Raiders may be in good contention for a playoff appearance.
“Playoffs, you wanna talk about Playoffs!”
Yes I know Coach Mora that it is still early to call for some playoff....
“Playoffs, you wanna talk about some Playoffs!”
Yes Coach I do!
If any of you guys come to the Live Blogs at "Thoughts From The Dark Side", you must be aware of the theme that is resonated amongst our group. (I strongly urge any of you Raider fanatics who are unable to watch the games to attend the live blogs at the site. You can check them out at mvn.com)
“BELIEVE AND WE SHALL SUCCEED!” That has been the motto in all of our Raider blogs. Now my Raider brethren, we shall not render to the whims of hopelessness and pity but rather we shall overcome. Overcome we have done every step of the way and we will continue to Believe.
BELIEVE AND WE SHALL SUCEED, my brothers!
Now before I continue to emit more of my inner Rev. Wright (HEHE!) just remember this my fellow Raider kin! We just took out the leading team in our division and shut down a rather potent offense in Denver at MILE HIGH! To add to that already sweet memory, our Reader defense also kept Cutler from scoring a TD for the first time ALL SEASON LONG!
Last time I recall, we completely obliterated that "Ketchup and Mustard Squad” from the Midwest and kept a very talented Chargers team SCORELESS TILL HALFTIME in a game that we should have won (still feel like throwing up when thinking about how we lost to those Bolts!).
Knowing this, there is much to still lean upon my Silver & Black comrades! Playoffs aren’t too far off...
“Playoffs You wanna talk about Playoffs!, Playoffs!” Ok just shut up now Coach Mora and now my Raider Brothers, Fight On!
BELIEVE AND WE SHALL MOST DEFINITELY SUCCEED BRETHREN! HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR BONDS OF THE SILVER and BLACK! STAND STRONG,STEADFAST AND UNITED AND…… Wow, that Rev. Wright is really getting into me!
Now for any of the above to materialize, it will be up to our Raider team to feed off that momentum we received from the Bronco Demolition up at the Mile High City! They must come to the realization that they are their own worst enemies! They must, much like the Raider Nation, CONTINUE TO BELIEVE AND THEY SHALL SUCCEED!
If we go on a winning streak now against our AFC West Raider Haters, there is no telling how far these implications can take us! FIGHT ON BRETHREN!

The major thing I saw off of our Raider game on 3D(yep, it works), is that if we play that well, every game...San Diego doesn't stand a chance. New England is going to have problems, trying to connect to Moss, and getting a busy signal. Heck, at this rate, Tampa Bay might be looking at a game of field goals, until they wear down and McFadden breaks the line.
This is the team I follow....and I'm going to enjoy the last 5 weeks....but I want an extra week for starters.

Thanks for the comments, Addict!
Like I said before, there should be no doubt in saying that our team has talent and that if they can just learn to collaborate, we would be definate divsion leaders given the current state of our division!
Keep on leading us, Raider Community Leader!
Take care and....
BELIEVE AND WE SHALL SUCEED! (HAHAHA!)

Thanks for stopping by man!
Always appreciated when a Raider Brother takes some time off to express his opinion!!!
I am not sure about LT man! The guy is old and rusty and is way off of that high standard he had carried for the last few years.
Remeber that game at Oakland! We were stuffing LT on every play. He just RAN FOR LIKE 70 YARDS IN HIS LAST TWO RUN ATTEMPTS! BEFORE THAT HE WAS GAINING BARELY A YARD PER RUN PLAY AND THAT SAFETY BY WILSON WAS AWESOME!!
Yes New England will be tough but Raider Card Addict pretty much sums up my feelings about that game in his comment above.
Thanks for stopping by!

Ya your prob right about L.T. but he still has the ability to come up with big plays at any given time, but very true, he's not the man he used to be. If we rattle Cassel and burry Moss, we should be able to handle New England also. GO RAIDERS, we could pull this thing off !!!

First of all Raider Card i'm not a female... I know your sex life is bad so that's why you may think that, but SORRY, NOPE. Anyways Umer rock on bro Raider Card has no clue of what's going on, he must live in the past. LT is getting very rusty compared to his past. Raiders will handle him all game this time. And oh Raider Card guy...Beat it, no one like you.
