Purple Punishment

Therrrrraiders?

That's the sort of output I was hoping from our offense when we played them. The Raiders went into Denver and did that, its very, very impressive. They kept it simple, they RAN the ball out of the building.

The Oakland Raiders need a 4 game suspension for the way they assaulted the Broncos.

I'm not even close to being a Broncos fan and I feel a little dirty just thinking about what happened to them.

I love how McFadden is shedding the "bust" label bit by bit every week this season.

Not only that he is shedding the image of him going down after the first hit. He is just bustin people then using his speed. I tip my hat off to him, I thought he was a bum.

Agreed and so did I.

As crazy as our win was this week this tops the mountain. I did a triple take on my phone when I saw they had 59 points as a final.. holy freaking crap.

Based on yesterday's outcome, I have the feeling that - should we face the Silver and Black this campaign - we may just get a taste of smash-mouth football.

Wonder if that character (Broncos1) posting his garbage on our boards, until we thrashed his Broncos, was talking his trash to the Raiders fans last week as well?

Raiders discovered they are a run first team, but it took them 3 years. Scares me about how long it will take us.

In the back of my mind, I had the feeling that MacFadden had this great potential if he was only used enough. And I've also believed that they should be a run first team, especially when they had all those lousy QBs over the last 7 years.

But here is the thing...they don't have Flacco, Boldin, Housh, Mason, or Heap to throw to. I'd be a pass first team if I was coaching the Ravens too. Of course there has to be balance though.

The Raiders are keeping up the momentum from last week, they are leading the Seahawks 26 to 3 with 7:18 left in the 4th quarter... Tom Cable finally has them playing to what they were suppose to do this year.

Raiders beat Seahawks 33-3.

Raiders have scored 92 points in the last 2 games, while conceding a total of 17.

It may have been the Seahawks and Broncos, but dayyyyyyyum.

Like The Rock would say, It doesn't matter if it was the Seahawks and Broncos. Anytime you can score 92 points and be 8 points shy of scoring 100 points in two games, that means something. Now what will be interesting is that KC travels to Oakland next week and with the way the Chargers are, the game between Oakland & KC may help decide who wins the AFC West.

I said prior to the season that Oakland would win the AFC West, but I was just about to eat my words before these past two performances.

Heck, the winner of the AFC West may not be the best team in the division, just the one that survives in the sea of mediocrity. :P

Agreed. Since when did the AFC West start playing like the NFC West?

To be fair to the Chargers, they're No.1 on Offense and Defense, they just find ways to lose. Have they fired their special teams coach yet?

The Chiefs needed overtime to beat the Bills...

The Raiders just kept their unreal momentum going.

The Broncos, well. The Broncos suck.

Yeah but that's not really saying anything since we needed OT to beat the Bills too.

I will agree with the unreal momentum part for now... but if they go and beat KC next week, than it is real momentum. The Raiders are now getting the last laugh in the Seymour deal as the Patriots probably thought it would be a top 10 pick, but now it may be a late round pick they get from Oakland.

i wonder if these fellas are for real? They manhandled Seattle this week.

They've steadily compiled athletes for a while now and are playing with confidence.

Asomugha's ankle injury is something to monitor though.

We'll see if they're able to hold the Chiefs top ranked running game in check. If not, it's gonna be really difficult for them to keep this momentum going by winning.

But yeah, I'm looking forward to that game also.

Not too bad for Oakland though it seems they used up all their scoring from the past two weeks.

Oakland 17
Chiefs 13

4th Quarter 9:46

It isn't surprising they're in a low-scoring affair. KC has at least 6 first round draft picks on their D and they've been playing some fine football all season.
