 Oakland Raiders
The New Orleans Saints aren’t, by any stretch of the imagination, an easy challenge for any NFL team. That applies more so than ever for the Oakland Raiders. In fact, substitute any team’s name in that sentence, and it still applies for the Oakland Raiders. But when the Raiders travel to New Orleans this Sunday to meet the 2-3 Saints, new interim...

I totally disagree.. its a terrible opponent..

1st, MIN has a better RUN O than we do, Saints shut them down

2nd, We have terrible Pass O, Saints secondary should be possible to attack for ordinary teams, we are not that..

3rd, So far Saints has had a better Run O, and our Run D hasn't been much to talk about, besides Gibril Wilson

4th, Our Special Teams ok, Saints showed they are better, yup we held down Hester last year, both sides of our special teams need to step up, for us to have any chance

5th, I think it will end close to 23-31, witout us ever being close catch'em

No - this weekend we should have had SD, they would be an easy target this week =)

Not true. We have a better run O than Min and NO. We avg 155/game, while Min and NO avg 121 and 80, respectively. Their pass D is horrible, and even we can benefit from that. While I agree that the most overratted team in football would have been a better opponent this week, we can still beat the Saints. If we dont, then what do I know? I am not a player or a coach, but I did save with Geico.

"then what do I know? I am not a player or a coach, but I did save with Geico."

LOL, priceless =)

well I see our run avg as a sign of our pass O doesn't work, I believe Saints has a better pass game than us, and I think MIN and our Pass game is almost equally bad..
