RaiderDamus Sees The Future Week 11: Raiders vs. Vikings

Ahoy, Raider fans! It is I, RaiderDamus, the purveyor of presience, the foremost amongst foreknowers, the sage of shot-calling, the rajah of revelation, and the World's Freshest Man. Please, step into my cave office. I have beheld the future, and seen what may be and what must be. The future is a fickle thing and prone to changing her mind, but I have gathered enough information that I can safely share with you this small thing- the future of our beloved Raiders. Read on, if you wish to know what shall come.

Star-divide

 

Last week, it appears the fates smiled only on a certain Mr. Marshall Faulk, as he was the only person to accurately predict the Raiders' dominating victory over a hapless Charger team. This is all well and good, because he also (along with the entire rest of the NFL Network crew) predicted the Jets would win against the Broncos, proving that he is in fact human just as I am and is a mere servant of the unknowable tides of fate and destiny. But this is not the time to dwell on the past, it is rather time to look ahead to the future, to the Raiders' visit to Minnesota to take on their (for now) local team, the Vikings.

The Vikings are AWFUL. This isn't like a Chiefs type of awful where they have young talent on defense and a decent quarterback, or a Denver awful where, hey, Tim Tebow is suddenly Tommie Frazier circa 1995 and their defense has morphed into the 2000 Baltimore Ravens. No, this is a special kind of awful reserved solely for the 2007 Detroit Lions and the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is the sort of awful wherein the team has some good players, but even their greatness cannot transcend the overall pungent stench of defeatism from the oeuvre of the franchise. If you don't know what oeuvre means, Mr. Google does and he will be more than happy to enlighten you.

The Vikings have Adrian Peterson, Jared Allen, Percy Harvin, and (insert scrub here). They have had so little success with their secondary, they were starting Saddam Hussein Abdullah the Butcher at free safety until his recent concussion troubles. I am aware, dear reader, that that is not actually the man's name, but it is funnier than his actual name so let us all pretend it is so. In my fantasy world I wish to see a young Abdullah the Butcher in his prime playing cornerback, with bells on the end of his curled shoes, attacking opposing wide receivers with a fork as if they were Terry Funk. Let us all contemplate this momentarily.

Done? Okay, moving on. My point is, no matter what Adrian Peterson does, the Vikings defense is so atrocious outside of Jared Allen and Kevin Williams that Carson Palmer should be able to pick them apart with relative ease. I say "should" because we all know when you tell the Raiders they should be able to do something easily, they make a mess of it; but when you tell them they can't do something they will do it just to show you they can. Maybe Warren Sapp was right when he said the Raiders can't handle success. I tend to believe him, because you know who played for the Raiders? Warren Sapp. Do you know who didn't play for the Raiders? You.

Unless Travis Goethel is reading this, in which case, hey Travis.

But let's assume for a second that Carson Palmer and his really good receiving corps has success against what may be the worst secondary in the league- it's really not a stretch to think that. The Raiders will run just enough to keep the defense from dropping seven men into coverage. I would be surprised if the Raiders ran more than they passed, but if that happens I will be pleased, because it means the running game is working. If the running game is working, it means the Raiders are winning. By a lot.

And they will win. By a lot. Raiders win, 34-17.

Bad news Dick Seymour may not play.

Good news, Vikings secondary was horrid before Chris Cook was reported out and Antoine Winfield was lost for the season. The loss of Seymour is a greater impact as Palmer would have been able to slice and dice them if he had time anyway. More bad news, this may cause more heavier blitz pressure from the Vikings against a not-so-mobile Palmer and he may rush his throws. With that said the game will be very close but WE WIN, WE WIN 24-21!

Did I ever say O-line?

No I didn’t. Read or better yet comprehend my post. I’m talking about the game as a whole especially going up against one of if not the toughest tailbacks to bring down. Sorry for not breaking it down like an elementary school teacher but Dick Seymour’s impact on our run defense presents a bigger loss than a couple of nickle backs being taken away from an already shit-poor Vikings pass defense.

"THE TIME TO WIN IS NOW" - Coach Hue Jackson

Raider Nation, all hand's on deck or get the hell off the ship! That's the way it's gonna be around here from now on! If a 7th & 5th round pick gets you Aaron Curry (a former 4th overall 1st rd. pick) instead of a couple of crap-shoots a year later, then fine and if dealing away a couple of first rounder's gets you a proven franchise quarterback like Carson Palmer and a legitimate shot at the playoffs, then great, you know why? Because our team is standing behind it's motto & legacy, "Just Win Baby!" and "Commitment to Excellence" instead of "Suck for Luck" and "Give Up". Imagine if you were a fan of a team that actually bought into that!?!

Now This Is Funny...For A "Tebowphobe" Like Me Anyway!!
Tebow floats under the radar about as seamlessly as a seven-mile-wide mothership from Saturn hovering over the Bronx.

He’s radioactive, in a sense, eliciting a type of love/hate response that’s left Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Chad Ochocinco in the rearview mirror by comparison.

Just a sampling of the mad reaction:

" Everyone who hates tebow your all jealous … he’ll keep getting better and better.
" Tebow is a joke are you people serious LOL.
" Had to laugh as Tebow ran over, through and around the Jets defenders who said they were coming for him.
" Criticizing someone for praying is just stupid.
" The guy is really annoying. I hope he goes away soon.
" On his birthday, Tim Tebow randomly selects one lucky child to be thrown into the sun.

27-20 Raiders

Vikings have been tough at home. AP will get his yards and wreak some havoc. In the end though this game will be won by the Raiders because they have the better QB, and Palmer will make the plays when it counts.

They charged me 15 dollars. That's how much it costs to only have 20 dollars.

by Rich Langford on Nov 19, 2011 1:31 AM PST reply actions  

I ain't sure about anything on this

if we can manage to stop AP and exploit their horrible secondary, it could become a blowout. but if we don’t, it’ll be a three to seven point game till the very end.
I say 24-10, though it could be 37-7 or 17-14 as well. if our D fucks it up they could even stun us like 21-14 or some…
but let’s hope, that it’ll go down as we all expect it will be.

But I hope not.

I can't seem to see this team winning by more than 10 points.

Probably because they’ve yet to manage that this season. I suppose it’s bound to happen eventually. Best route to success here, I figure, is to get up by 2 or 3 TDs early. No better way to take away the running game than to establish a huge lead.

by Chris2814 on Nov 19, 2011 9:50 AM PST reply actions  

Carson will absolutely torch the nonexistent Minnesota secondary

spreading the ball around to no less than eight different targets, and adding to his already gaudy big play percentage.

It’ll amount to how well we stop AP and Ponder using the breathing room Minnesota’s use of the inverted bone with two big, athletic and mobile blockers finding gaps. I’m afraid AP will gash us for a couple big gainers in this one, and maybe two big scores as well. We’ll have to score on most of our drives to win.

31-27 Raiders. Palmer puts up 350 and three scores in the air, and Taiwan Jones gets his first TD in season action similar to the one we saw against NO in preseason.

Warren Sapp saying the Raiders can't handle success and giving that comment value is just like saying the Raiders will be forever basement dwellers.

Last year they turned the corner and had a 500 season for the first time is a long time. This year, with as many personnel changes (including coaching), they have managed to weather the storm and stay competitive. THERE IS NO DOUBT THEY HAVE HAD THEIR INCONSISTENCIES, BUT SO HAS 95% OF THE LEAGUE. This Sunday’s game is a pivotal game, its a statement game. A win will give them 2in a row, it will tell doubters that they are true contenders, it will begin the process of separation between them and the dysfunctional Afc West, and it will show their fans that they are serious about contending for the SB this year. If they lose, it will prove Warren Sapp that the Raiders can’t handle success, and that all west coast teams are soft. And most importanatly, will mark another dissapointing season to this longtime Raider fan.

Tomorrow, Mia, KC, and SD are must wins

I’m hoping we can get either Chi or Det at home . . . and as for Green Bay, that game could be played on the moon and we probably still don’t beat those guys. So realistically speaking, we probably need at least a 4-3 finish to win this division.

Inclined to make the score big

But come on Raider Nation, you know better. Even our slaughters are victories of just under 10 points. Simply put, we don’t win big this year. I say 24-17, but it really isn’t as close as that score indicates. The Raiders should win this game, in the end the score will not matter. Here is to coming out of this both victorious and healthy.

Obviously Denver isnt far behind, and alot of the rough teams KC and SD have are falling apart. Denver is a one trick poney and if one team can just get one middle linebacker and say hey your only job the WHOLE FUCKING GAME is sit and watch the QB. WHEVER HE GOES YOU GO, I DONT CARE IF ITS A RUN, their throwing it your way i dont give a flying fuck, STAY WITH HIM. KC got us on a bad day, and i expect an ass kicking next game, rival game or not. Carson Palmer just needs to sync and once he does, its on. SD is the legitimate contender with us, if only Rivers could pull his head from his ass.(Which i bet and hope he wont). We on the other hand have one consistant weakness. THE Run! With Seymour out, and everyone all zombie, (Half Alive) we are in for a weird game. I say Bush 2 TD’s and Moore a TD, followed with a wait for it DHB TD…i say 28-17…Raiders Win! I expecft a whole lota FLASH AND DASH!

This guy is a monster still #1 back in the league IMO just cus DMC keeps getting injured but otherwise I think DMC is better. We win this game because we finally have an elite offense and our defense is really good when we stay disciplined and everyone does their job. I say Palmer throws for 350 yards and 3 Tds bush and tj get a combined effort of 220 yards and 2 Tds the only way we lose this game is if we let AP run wild like he can but I don’t think we will Hue is the man and he’ll have our team ready he is the coach of our future hopefully he stays for a long time at least 10 years how crazy would that be for us ?

Another Off Subject...Our Bush Valuable -n- Needed...This:

The Raiders can place the franchise tag on Bush to the tune of $7.7 million or so and keep him around for another season, attempt to sign him to a long-term extension or simply let him walk.

If Bush isn’t franchise-tagged, he would be forced to choose between negotiating a new contract with the Raiders or seeking the riches of free agency.

It’s no secret that Bush enjoys playing for the Raiders, and the Raiders value his all-around skills.

In the end, Bush might be forced to weigh his comfort with the Raiders vs. an opportunity to showcase his talents as a starter for another team.

Didnt we sign that LB from Pitt who was drafted by the 49ers a year or two ago?

"THE TIME TO WIN IS NOW" - Coach Hue Jackson

Raider Nation, all hand's on deck or get the hell off the ship! That's the way it's gonna be around here from now on! If a 7th & 5th round pick gets you Aaron Curry (a former 4th overall 1st rd. pick) instead of a couple of crap-shoots a year later, then fine and if dealing away a couple of first rounder's gets you a proven franchise quarterback like Carson Palmer and a legitimate shot at the playoffs, then great, you know why? Because our team is standing behind it's motto & legacy, "Just Win Baby!" and "Commitment to Excellence" instead of "Suck for Luck" and "Give Up". Imagine if you were a fan of a team that actually bought into that!?!

Was Just Considering How Things Have Worked Out This Season:

Before the Draft the major speculation was we would be taking that Kapernikernick from NV…Than “SF” moved up and jumped in to trump us…(If Even True??)…We selected “Wiz-II” instead…WoW!!..Now has that ever worked out to our advantage…Kapernikunicaback seemed to be somewhat of a flop last I looked…

During the off season all that talk was going around about who would be our next “HC” and than finally word came down the Hue was promoted…Thank Heaven!!!…I just can’t imaging all that this team has gone threw with someone else at the helm..

Word was we were strapped for $$$ and would be dead in the “FA” market…WoW!!…If ya take a look at all we have done threw trades/"FA"s n Sup-Draft this team was prolley the most active…

The loss of Namndi was suppose to cripple us…Well the injuries certainly have but Namndi looks like a shadow of himself when he was here…

Zack/Gallery were going to leave our “O” desecrated…LoL!!….Their loss has been a blessing and may yet produce a few 3rds next season…

“KC” n “SD” were the clear cut leaders of the west and we would fight it out for the bottom with that “Donkey”…Yikes!!…Now we’re on top with that “Donkey” sniffin our butts!!!

Than more recently the franchise was in the middle of a “Take Over” and being Pirated by Hue!!…Funny that one be now!!

Yup!!…Swallow all that vomit from them’s damn "Mediot"s and all’s ya get’s is a damn Belly Full Of Crap!!!

But never mind..Some will just be ready to eat again as soon as the next helping is dished out!!!

"Tebowphobe"!!!

Namndi?

I got tired of hearing how losing him would hurt us. In my humble opinion, there were only three stupid moves Al Davis ever made:
1. Jamarcus Russell
2. Getting rid of John Gruden
3. Letting Charles Woodson go.
 
Woodson was the biggest mistake. Just look at Green Bay right now and Woodson’s performance with them compared to Nmandi. Hell, I can’t even remember how to spell his name. LOL! Hopefully, we will learn to hold on to the good players and get rid of the deadwood now. Of course, all the rumors flying around about Peyton Manning almost got me excited, especially about the Colts possibly getting rid of him. Pipe dreams, I know that. However, if that were to ever come to pass, the Raiders should move heaven and earth to get him. I know, again, crack pipe dreams………..

C.Wood is one of my favorite RAIDERS of all time.....

i agree with most of your comment, except moving heaven and earth to get Payton Manning…..

CP3 is our guy, thanks to (AL D.ivine intervention)

With as serious an injury as Manning has

He’d be crazy to come back at all. You don’t want to be putting that to the test on the football field. He’s already got a Super Bowl ring, and no doubt they’ll have a place in the booth for him.

The Woodson Mistake Came Under "SOB"-Rob's Time As "DC" And Word Is He Pushed It???

We had drafted Phillip Buchanan and Namdi in back to back seasons…“02”-n-“03”…

Than “05”-n-“06” brought Fabian Washington/Stanford Routt n Huff back to back…

During “SOB”-Rob’s time at “DC” he failed to do anything with the talent he had…His last season was when Woodson went out the door and I was pissed…Still am!!

Hue needs to quit calling those "trick plays"

We were on the 50 and started going backwards, I dont mind running the ball so much because it kills the clock just dont go backwards!
