Raiders Vs Skins Pregame Thread

[Chico23231]

Great test...glad its here and not where ever Oakland is playing these days.

Our Corner play has been outstanding this year...great test vs Carr Crabtree and Cooper. Probably the best QB-WR-WR set up in the game?

Beast mode is back and playing a solid level.

Their defense hasn't had a good test yet...so on the road vs us should be a solid barometer.

To me, its all about the passing game...can we finally get it together? and can we put up enough defense in to limit theirs.

I know couple people going to this one...gonna be rocking.

Like Paul McCartney said "I gotta feeling, a feeling deep inside oh yeah...that's right"

Skins 29-27

Man this is a tough test for us..I will say We looked better vs Rams but this aint the Rams! Raiders 35 Redskins 31 ..but I hope I am wrong!

If Cousins thinks he’s worth Carr’s contract #’s, then he’s going to have to prove it on Sunday night at home.

I think we finally shake the Primetime curse for good! That's a hard trip for Oakland and it's a night game. They are a damn good team but the def isn't that great.

Skins win a good game 29-27.

This is a primetime game at home?

Hello ass whipping

[sdskinsfan2001]

Stop Crabtree and Cooper. That would be my main focus as defensive coordinator. Make their other guys beat us. And no big plays to Patterson!

We're going to need to score at least 28 to win. Cousins better be ready to ball out.

Hate predicting against my team, so I'll lie to myself and everyone, 30-24 Skins.

Don't put contract pressure on him, he will lay an egg.

Still worry about the Skins in Primetime.

If the players are in it for 4 quarters, we will win. A slow start, or bad KC and we lose.

Let's hope this is the start of something good.
Skins 32
Raiders 27

If we can pound the rock well like last week we'll have a good shot. Don't think we can hang if it becomes a shoot-out. Keep it close and ugly.

We all said the same VS GB so maybe we have turned a corner

Per Ian Rapport:

Redskins ILB Mason Foster has been diagnosed with a separated shoulder.

He's getting a second opinion, but Foster is expected to sit Week 3 against the Raiders on Sunday night.

Kinda stings...We should hear about injuries from Jay later today, but this would be disappointing. I imagine Spaight would get the start....

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Spaight seemed reallllllly overwhelmed last year. Athletically I think he'll be fine. Just needs to be in the right place.

[over the mountain]

Foster gets big time respect for coming back and playing. Same for Norman only missing a snap or so for his a/c separation. He really jammed that arm directly into the ground. Reed came back and played through pain as well. Moses played through pain.

Hustle and commitment are there.

If the passing game with the receivers starts to mesh and we go on those long 10+ play drives like we did last year, I think we can control this game and have a 50/50 chance.

With an offense like the raiders, best defense is winning the time of possession.

Win TOP and keep raiders 3rd down conversion to less than 50%, we should win.

Skins 31
Raiders 20

Going Homer on this one a bit.

[Chico23231]

Per Keim and Cooley about Doctson...said after reviewing All-22 vs the Rams, Doctson big play opportunities were there. Cousins didn't see it or chose not to throw.

*sigh*

Can these 2 get on the same effing page?

Oh great: Offensive Line of the Week: Raiders unit utterly dominates Jets - NFL.com

Of course, our line was pretty solid last week too, as acknowledged here.

Man, the Raiders are playing well right now. But we're not the lowly Jets or the Titans (who they only beat by 10 in one of the most statistically even matches I can recall -- check it out: Watch Oakland Raiders vs. Tennessee Titans [09/10/2017] - NFL.com). This seems like it will be a tight game.

I really hope that our air attack can get back on track. The Raiders can be had over the middle -- a friend of mine who is a huge Raiders fan is really worried about that given Reed and Crowder. I think we need to work the middle and pound the rock. Keep the ball away from the Raiders offense.
