Both Pierce and Jacobs go for 300 yards each. Baby Carr will throw the defense a few catchable balls. Texans lose in the 4th quarter after having a 13 point lead.
I have no expectations and only look forward to fantasy right now. I have Jacobs, Waller and Adams. All in different leagues.
Team comes out strong, rejuvenated that they no longer have Easterby's presence hanging around their collective necks. Then they quickly realize that they are still a bad football team and the Raiders run all over us for the last 3 quarters. Mills has a few sparkling moments sprinkled into what is ultimately a pretty forgettable performance. Pierce looks great but doesn't get the ball enough because bonehead penalties repeatedly kill any promising drives and we play from behind most of the game. Heavy sigh
Don't tell me it's too soon to be looking at the standings. A loss here puts the Raiders at two wins.
Raiders best CB is out. Mills should have some open receivers. Texans better block Max Crosby though... Raiders win this game, and they should win easily, but I can see the Texans keeping it close.
Super bummed I wont be able to make the trip after all. Thank goodness for travel insurance. Looking forward to watching what Christian Harris can do. I want him to be able to run sideline to sideline and thump with that 4.4 speed and is a solid tackler. Let him get into the backfield and disrupt. He plays with an edge in that gray area close to being a little dirty, but I might be ok with that as long as its within taste and reason of competition. Every team needs a defender like that IMO. If he plays up to his potential he should be the starting MLB soon. Lets remember what we have in this guy and what Caserio might have seen:
Man I hope! I thought I read he should have been ready for the Jags game. Its just a hammy right? If he aint ready then geez.
I feel if Harris and Metchie weren't sidelined they would be crushing it doing all rookie team things.
