Poll Time

So whatever happens with N.E. if we score 3 TDs and Jano nails one – we win.

it will show how much of a pretender they are and we can match up due to the rash of injuries they have right now and if they get a couple more this Sunday……………………. RAIDERS WIN! RAIDERS WIN!
The wheels may be falling off with the O line issues they have and if we can give Worthlessberger some shots then we can make them hurt. 1 problem is they have that Mendenhall at RB and he is a bit of a power house I was watching during the Bungles game and he was carrying guys and blowing right through LBs and D linemen. That is my worry. Oh yeah did I say fuck Heinz Ward and his cheapshot bullshit?

That way they have already played 2 games in the same time frame its taken us to rest. Also I hope some key guys have fluke injuries that will force them to miss the game against us on 11/21. After a huge win they would be much more confident facing us that they may just be flat for this game. Also while they may be looking at revenge for last year we should be focusing on two more streaks that can be laid to rest against Pitt. Oakland has lost 7 straight games following a bye week and also this would finally bury the pitiful streak of 7 straight seasons of 11+ losses. Cable, put that on the bulletin board!

I don’t care how they win sunday cause it has no bearing on our game against them. That said I hope they are at full strength so the league can’t say we beat an injured or half stength steelers team that many predicted to make a run in the post season. Then the league will know the SILVER & BLACK is back

in 2006 we beat them at home 20-13 after they lost the previous week in OT to Atlanta.

In 2009 we beat them in Pittsburgh 27-24 after they lost the previous week in OT to the Ravens.

Of course this means nothing other than close games that go down to the wire usually are physical struggles. Add that in 2006 they spent a lot of time on defense chasing Michael Vick and in 2008 they played the always tough and hard hitting Ravens. Note: in the Ravens game concussed Ben Rot did not play, the QB was D Dixon. And we played the maybe not yet fog-free Rot in our game.

Last year the Steelers were 6-2 heading into week 10 before dropping 5 in a row. Concussed BenRot and no Troy Polamalu.

I think we can win one of two ways, either by getting a quick lead or getting sustained drives. If they have to pass to catch up, or if our D actually gets five minutes off instead of a 3-and-out, just a few times – their weakness in protecting the QB will be exposed.

This will be our first real test as contenders. The Steelers know we are good coming in and they will not take us lightly. They also remember last year.

why Pitt winning big will create confidence in the Raiders winning big against them.
Wouldnt it be more logical that if you opponent loses big, you would be more confident to win?
If they win against a ‘supposedly’ good team, wouldnt that make them more of a threat?
Or should this poll say ‘What would make you feel better about a victory over Pitt?" At least then it would make sense to pick anything but ’lose big’.

How much the Pats beat the Steelers its not as important as how they beat them. I will rather see the Pats beat the Steelers because they were the more dominate team instead of beating the Steelers because of mental mistakes. I wanna see the Pats expose their weaknesses in which will help us view video on them as well.

but would like them to pick up a shit load of injuries
Note: ‘shit load’ is an accepted unit of measurement from the metric system, equivelant to any number you can think of, +1

We better come out with a fury!

I put win big because they can. Everyone’s rested and ready to rumble!
