Quote:4-2 vs 2-3.

 

Two of their wins are against teams that beat the Jags.

 

They've scored 41 points more than us this year already.

 

We have the better defense, no question, but that's about it.

 

Ultimately, we'll see what team shows up on Sunday.  I'm just saying... I suspect a lot of you are going to be significantly disappointed.

 

How people can legitimately believe that we're going to win this game is insane to me. 

 

We are not as good as the Raiders right now.

 

And no... the Raiders aren't an elite team.

 

The point being this: The Raiders are a couple of lucky breaks away from having our record (or worse). They aren't going out and dismantling teams. They're winning on last minute heroics (sound familiar?) and gutsy playcalling on 4th down. It seems to me that you're doing exactly what your arguing against only in the opposite direction. Abandon hope all ye who enter here...

 

I get not trusting the team to be able to execute but let's not make it seem like Oakland = New England. They are most assuredly beatable by our Jaguars.
