Open Thread: Raiders vs Detroit

Let The Games BEGIN!!!

I only have a few seconds, as I'm sure you all know I have to run into the game quickly...

I am predicting a 27-17 Raiders victory.

My three quick things to look for:

I am excited to see Lane Kiffin's entire offense. I wonder how he will run it.
Will our DB's be able to cover the best group of receivers in the NFL. This game can be a HUGE statement for Fabe, Nnamdi and Stu.

When this game is over they will be known as a force to be reckoned with, or an Overrated group that benefited from teams running so much last year.

3) The offensive line HAS GOT TO BE ABLE to handle the Lions pass rush. It doesn't get much easier in the NFL than facing these cupcakes. :)

McCown is showing why he hasn't played

for two of the worst teams in the league.

the "Fire Sea Bass" movement?

As an A's fan, I can't wait for the new stadium

because they need it, as a Raider fan, it won't be soon enough as Seabass can't kick off the dirt.

Someone tell Sea Bass

to get drunk after the game.

Someone drop an anvil on that busted draft pick.

the Raiders march minor league QB's into the starting lineup. The final score suggests McCown did some things right, forget it, he will never, ever be a starting QB in this league so why are we giving him an opportunity? We have a 31 year old former All Pro on the bench while we start McCown?
It is just ridiculous.

Wise up, Kiffen

Your nation wants your to start the best choice for quarterback.

Trust me, it ain't Mayor McCheese.

All of us in the nation knew that Culpepper gave us the best chance to win and win now. To have a chance against the Bronchitis, please start Culpepper!

Fumble

Even though the game may have been out of reach, it was still possible with just less than 2 minutes left to score a touchdown and 2 point conversion when McCown was sacked and fumbled. Did anyone else think that his arm was going forward when he was hit. I was 100% sure there would be a booth review and was upset that there wasn't. They showed a replay on TV and I am almost certain it was an incomplete pass, but the announcers said nothing and there was no review so what do i know.
