Friends, Fellow Followers: On the heels of another insanely close prediction, he was off by six total points, The Great One has given us coal in our stockings.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Could the schedule makers have given us a less palatable Week 16 matchup? A Colts team playing for their playoff lives? This is going to be an utter disaster. Now, I know I said that before the Chargers game, and we killed them. But that was Phyllis and this is Peyton Manning. Austin Collie is on IR and that's great but they beat the Jags mostly without him after a vicious hit. They still have Pierre Garcon and Reggie Wayne. Of the two, I am more scared of Garcon because Routt will be covering him and that usually means over 100 yds and two scores. Bah humbug.
If the Raiders employ a similar gameplan to the one shown during the Chargers game, we have a chance. A small one, but a chance nonetheless. We can run on the Colts, no question. But Donald Brown is in high gear now, and they can run too. The only way the Raiders win is to play a ball-control, grinding offensive scheme where we run, run, run, play action to Zach Miller, touchdown. It can be done. However, it won't.
Peyton Manning is a golden god, please remember this. He does not lose games he should win very often. This is a game he should win. The Colts haven't looked like the Colts this year. Unfortunately, this will be the game in which they will return to form.
Colts win, 45-16. Next year will be better for the Raiders.

Dammit Raiderdamus, that's a horrible prediction. I suspect we'll lose but not that lopsided because we'll be scoring
Our rushing offense is 2nd in the league against the Colts rushing defense ranked 28th. Yes, Manning will pick our secondary and LBs apart but they won’t be able to hole our 3-headed-monster to 16 pts. I know I’ve tempted fate by doubting you in the past and that it is insolent and boorish to do so, but I am indignant now that you disdain our mighty ground game and spit on your prediction.

That prediction makes me nauseous. Will me perform that horribly? I certainly hope not. I think it will be a full tilt shoot out. I want to say Raiders 33 Colts 29 I am in my head thinking more like Colts 36 Raiders 27 though. take the one in bold Noon.

They’ll eat up the Colts on the ground, and frustrate Manning in the middle.

RaiderDamus you will be wrong on this one. Peyton Manning will be sacked 4 times during the game, will have only 1 interception, Run DMC will have over 100 yards again, Bush will pound in a touchdown, 200+ yds rushing, DHB will finally catch 2 passes, Zach Miller will get a TD.

If Peyton Manning is a golden god
then if the Jags lose and the Titans win, he may be tempted enough in his subconscious to let it go down to the last week in his division in hopes we can knock off the Chargers.

Payton Manning.....
does three things better than any QB ever.Beat the blitz, pick apart zone defences and call audibles.there are two things the Raiders dont do a lot of,blitz and play zone.as for the third thing,we will have to see how the Raiders handle that.
The colts maybe playing for a play-off spot,but so are the Raiders,i have a felling well be just a little more hungry for it than they are.Payton will have that deer in the head-lights look by the middle of the third quarter.the Raiders front four will be in his face all day and the secondary will be making BIG hits and jumping routs.
Huge Jackson has spent a lot of time game planing against the Colts when he was with the Ravens,he knows how to beat them and will have a plane in place to do so.

I agree this is the one game
that playing man to man will help. Because there whole Offence is all about timing. If our Dline can play like they have all year and our DB’s can hold up I think we can stop them on offense. I just want to see our Oline holds up on passing downs. I want to see JC throw it when they put 8 in the box I don’t think they can run with our WR’s I just wan to know if our WR’s are ready to make a name for themselves.
in my opinion
The outcome of this game will depend on the outcome of the chiefs game which should finish before this one starts. If the chiefs win, the raiders might pull what the prediction states. If the chiefs lose, expect the raiders to play their asses off and probably pull off a win. Being optimistic
27-24 Raiders win.
by herro on Dec 24, 2010 11:06 AM PST via mobile reply actions
they dont need to be watching the scoreboard
they should be seeing this game as a must win no matter what
Chiefs and Chargers games should both be over around kickoff
And if the Chiefs are blowing out Tennessee from the git-go, Raiders will know their season is over LONG before the coin-toss.
Bottom-line, I wouldn’t be surprised about this prediction coming true if the Chiefs win. I can’t see the Raiders NOT taking the field in a deflated state after having been eliminated right before the game starts.
OTOH, if the Chiefs lose, I expect the Raiders to come out fired up as all hell to play the last home-game of the season with a chance of making the post-season still at hand for the first time in 8 seasons. I won’t guarantee a win even in this situation, but I will guarantee we don’t get get spanked like the prediction says.

I dont make predictions....
but I must bring somthing to everyones attention , we had two big games earlier this season in PITT and The Fins, and we all know what happened there, hell Jacksonville,
HOPE IS A GOOD THING, I HOPE LIKE HELL WE PULL THIS GAME OUT
At the time that they happened ...
When we played Pitt, we were in 1st place in the division. When we played Miami, we were only 1 game out of 1st. And honestly, while J-ville was huge, they are a very good team, at home, and we didn’t play that badly in that game. We showed up, and nearly won it.
And I would counter-argue that the first Chargers game was pretty frickin huge, too. We were 1-3 at that point and staring into the abyss of yet another soul-crushing 1-4 start … a start from which only like 5 teams have ever made the playoffs. Likewise, the 2nd Chargers game was huge … lose that game, and we were absolutely done. Last week against Denver … sure, crap team, but a HUGE friggin game for us.
So … while we’ve lost some big games this season (j-ville the biggest), we’ve also won some games when the need to win was extreme.

lets go titans
if the raiders have anything to play for when the game starts; they will rip peyton apart and run over their defense. peyton has lost many must win games ie last years super bowl.

I stand by my prediction
Not that I am happy about it. However, I believe it to be accurate.
It seems some of you don’t think Peyton Manning is all that good. With all due respect, you are incorrect. He is the second best QB in the league, and he has several good receivers to work with.
The thing that may give us some hope in this game is the fact that Joseph Addai suddenly decided he feels like playing. This is a mistake. He is not as good as Donald Brown, and will make the Colts’ running attack less effective than it would have been otherwise.
As usual, I am predicting a Raiders loss while most of you are predicting a Raiders win. I daresay I have a better record than the “mob” around here who blindly predict Raider wins when there is no way in hell that will happen. I think my record has earned me a modicum of deference and trust. I wish it were not so, but please believe me on this one. The Raiders are going to get crushed. However, so are the Chiefs, so there’s hope.

I just hate him. I know he's that good, but I also know, he can be completely taken out of his game
and when he is, disaster strikes for the Colts.
I fear your crystal ball is unclouded as far as outcomes are concerned, but don’t see it being quite so lopsided. Then again, I felt this way exactly about your prediction and our chances against San Diego, so ultimately remain hopeful.
I might put too much in this prediction, as it’s become something I await all week in big games like this. OTOH, I’ve waited until the end of the week to let Madden play itself out with the personnel we field, where, and in multiple weather conditions in situations I knew we were outmatched for fear the often uncannily close outcomes will manifest on Sunday. This week I have played it early and often, and the Raiders overwhelmingly come out on top, often by huge margin. I hope Madden and EA Sports insight rings true again Sunday. I’ll still be disappointed with an 8-8 season, as the best we can do for ourselves in prove we are a winning football team by winning out, and actually having a record to show for it, postseason worthy, or not.

I appreciate the non biased opinion (not saying these other comments will be wrong though)
But in regards to Donald Brown and Joseph Addai from a Colts fan, Donald Brown is not as good as Joesph Addai. With Addai in the game, the Colts average 20 more yards per game than with him not playing. Also, Addai is by far a better blocker and pass catcher. Brown on the otherhand brings to the table the ability to break out for longs runs, similar to last week where he broke for two 40+ runs. But thats about all he can do better than Addai in my opinion. Addai returning is huge plus for the offensive and gives Manning a needed security blanket, moreso than Brown.

Sorry Raiderdamus … got to disagree with your assessment. Defense shall step up in a big way, enough to keep PM sorely uncomfortable and our offense will get the job done. Raiders win 31 – 27.

Wow, thought this was a Raider site :P Rugged prediction, especially the score. Now, I really like Manning, I think he’s the best in the NFL. He’s unlike any QB out there. Brady is good (and I hate the shit out of him mind you), so is Brees, but none study or appear to study the game like Peyton. That being said……….I hope we light his ass up Sunday. I think that we can shoot out with them. Peytons receivers are weak (exception being Wayne), his reliable tight end is gone for the year, despite a big game every now and then, Brown and Addai and the Colts running game this year has been terrible. Their line is even a bit sketchy at times. No Bob Sanders has also hurt their secondary badly this year. I respect the hell out of Manning, but the odds are stacking on him. The Raiders have been fairly consistent this year. They are fully capable of laying some stinkers, but I don’t think they will now. Too much at stake. Right now, I think the Colts have the better qb, but the Raiders have the better offense. If they lose Sunday, its because Manning is that damn good. We are a few points away from being 10-4. We are not that bad of a team this year. AND……its in Oakland. Not for nothing, but they have been playing pretty damn good there. I say, Raiders 34 Colts 30. And if all smiles upon us, the Titans beat down the Chiefs. Merry Christmas everyone and happy holidays!!!

The last time we played a team whose run defense was terrible we lost that game becuase our stupid coaches kept trying to force the run and they was stopping us and our passing game suffered because that team kept loading the box and was putting pressure on our QB.

I just Don't see that Happening.....
Not this weekend !!!! Our front four will have him way to uncomfortable, and with the occasional blitz, he will throw a pick, if not two !!! I see us scoring at least 30 on them !!! 30-17
It's nice to see confidence..
But as a Colts fan, a lot of what i’m reading is utter rubbish.
Can you run on us? Undoubtedly, but you can’t just ignore what we did to possibly the best all-round back in the NFL. Saying that our receivers except Wayne are terrible is just incorrect, I’d say Pierre Garcon is at least as good as any of your guys. Zach Miller is a fantastic player, but there’s only so much you can do with Jason Campbell at QB, which is why I’d regard Tamme to be close to his level due to the guy throwing to him. We beat Garrard down last week and he’s a fair amount better than Campbell – and seeing Dwight Freeney vs a rookie at LT will be.. interesting.
I hope it’s a good game, in any case, I’m just not particularly a big advocate of the blind optimism I see here. I can see Seymour getting big disruption up the middle, and Nnamdi shutting Reggie down, which will cause problems for us. It’ll be a close one, and I reckon the Colts win by 3.
Blind optomism?
See this is where I reply and verbally assault you into oblivion……………. but then I remember your record compared to ours. Your wonderful magnificent all powerful Dolts have exactly one more win than us. So really anything you have to say really has no significance because you have no safeties left, you are totally pared down at WR and the running game blows. Talk about blind optimism and total rubbish.

When I see people saying the Raiders will win by 10-20 points, it's blind optimism.
Our injuries were just as bad if not worse when we went away to the Eagles and Patriots, and they have a better team than you do.
I know we’re severely depleted in certain key areas, but the fact remains that we went to a Superbowl last year, whereas you went 5-11. You’ve improved, and that’s undoubtedly a good thing, I just question whether you’ve got better than we are, even with our current squad status.
I think you misinterpret the tone of my post, I was merely highlighting areas where I think people don’t understand the full situation. I think it’s going to be a very close game, and to say that’s blind optimism is myopic from your point of view. Your own predictor thinks you’ll lose by 30.
Typical team fans
always over estimate their own teams capabilities. I have not seen too many people predicting we will win by 20 points. I highly doubt that too. Remember we have injuries this year that have hit us and possibly cost us a few games.

Yep..
And I think the teams are roughly evenly matched. The best CB in the league can take our best WR out, and your woeful O-line will probably be victimised in passing situations. I just want it to be a good game, always better to be entertained.
That woeful line has been blocking better of late
and if you guys sell out to stop the run, expect plenty of play action and screens. This game is in no way already over and should be very entertaining and close.

The eagles and new england are better
than the raiders.but they dont have the running game we have.Your offensive strengths play right into our defensive strengths , and our offensive strengths play right into your defensive weakness.If the colts force us to pass they have a good chance of winning, but they also have to watch out for reverses and passes to the RBs and our deadly FB .We wont stop your passing attack but we will sustain long drives keeping the ball out of mannings hands.We are not saying we are better than the pats or eagles, we just match up with the colts VERY VERY well

Let's not forget Death Ro is already better than any of your LB's. Let's not forget that Wimbley (LB)
can sack the QB with ease or even cover a TE and stop the run. Our LB’s are way better than yours.
Our D-line eats yours alive.
The RaiderLaker
First time poster here
and longtime Raider fan. I have to say on this topic that there’s one bit that ppl aren’t mentioning. Over the years the kind of defense that has ruffled Peyton’s feathers has been a 3-4 base. The Pats, Bolts, Steelers, Jets, among others. The 3-4 seems to disrupt what the Colts’ blocking scheme is trying to do, (or at least it appears that way at times). When he plays against a 4-3 defense, he seems more comfortable, relaxed, and able to do his thing, which is audible into solid plays.
Last week the Raiders ran primarily a 4-3 setup. I don’t know if we could play 3-4 if we wanted to. Given this, i’m not sold on our chances of winning this week, but I’ll gladly admit i’m wrong if it means we win.
Lastly, the Colts played the Jags last week, and the Jags are supposed to be mirror images of us, or us of them. So just ask yourselves how he did vs the Jags and overlay that onto the Raiders. Do I want the colts to win? No, but Peyton commands more respect than any QB I’ve ever seen. That and the Raiders are not quite there yet, maybe next year.
There should be something witty or prophetic here, but I'm just too lazy to think up anything at the momnet.
We really don't have the personnel
and to start playing a 3-4 after playing primarily a 4-3 would be not smart. If we do the corner blitzes and bring the house with a few delayed ones it should give him something to think about. I personally would like to see a late hit early in the game that turfs him hard. I will gladly take the 15 yarder at that point.

5 Man-Front Big-Nickle May Work Well Against Manning....
We have the personnel to put 3 "DT"s in the middle w 2 "DE"s pinching in on the outside….2 "LB"s playing Gap-Control n 3 "S"s -n – 2 "CB"s tight man Bump-n-Run coverage with blitz packages….That’s something Manning ain’t use to and may be very disruptive to him…They will be forced to keep a “RB” or “TE” behind the line as an extra blocker so that player is removed from the game consistently…NO room to run so thew the air into the Big-Nickle is his only option….We did something like this against “SD” in the 4th quarter the 1st time we played them this season and it worked very well….Shut them down and forced the “TO”…

2 Coaches Must Change
2 areas where I see we need new blood…
- at “DC” as you mentioned…We can do better with this talent on the field….Need to be more aggressive and more creative…Less predictable…Adaptable to each new challenge…
- at “WR” coach where we need a Vet who actually played at the pro level to teach our young core the ropes…We have been lacking here ever sense Freddy B retired….
I don’t believe it’s as much a lack of talent at “WR” as it is a lack of coaching n quality development of the young players we have…A player like Ford has great up-side but is extremely inconsistent in our “O”…That’s inexcusable to me…“DHB” has shown the ability to play big in a few games but has been under utilized to absolute death….That is also inexcusable…Murphy too has had disappearing acts to his discredit…We have seen threw demonstration that all 3 can play this game so now it’s time to get them up to speed and more involved….That will open everything else up in the passing game to the "TE"s n "RB"s as well as the run…

That I like
but playing a “true” 3-4 will get us killed for sure. We need to turf him a few times. As I said I will take 1-2 roughing the passer penalties early in the game if it gets him out of sync.
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

I've seen Peyton get up from those
and tear shit up. Unless you want to kill him, get to him within the rules.

Correct, plus the 4-3 we run is
man on man so we can disrupt the timing of their offense by jamming their receivers at the line with our DB’s. The question is will we?
JUST DOMINATE BABY !!!
I think this is the perfect game for man to man
We have the four man rush to get after Manning. The colts don’t have killer WR’s but what they have is guys that always make plays. SO Nnamdi and Routt will have to be on there game but our Nickel DB will be big this game. This is one game I think base man to man will help. We just need to play cover 2 over the top If we are going to bring Pressure we have to do it early because once Manning seen a blitz once he will kill it the next time he see’s it. SO John Marshall don’t give manning that same Blitz we have all seen all year long.

I’m usually a pretty pessimistic (realistic?) Raiders fan, but for some reason I feel good about this game. I think a very close, hard-fought win in a high scoring game is coming.
Of course, this wouldn’t be the first time I’d be wrong…
Looking forward to listening to Papa and the Coach tomorrow.
Go Raiders!!
I plead the fizzif.
Are you all picking the raiders to win because you want them to win?
I really dont know about this one. It feels like it could go both ways. I have a feeling Oakland will win in a close one
Fear is the Mind Killer
My wish for this game is:
My wish is that the refs let them play. Unfortunately, with the Raiders playing man to man, Manning will just sling it out and any close pass defense will probably go against us. I see at least 3 defensive PIs and 4 defensive holdings. And our defense has to pull up and not hit Manning after he has thrown the ball, you know the refs will be watching that really close.
Man, I hope I am wrong. I don’t have a good feel for this game, so no prediction.
