These are the Raiders' first 7 games of the regular season:
Denver
Kansas City
@ Minnesota
@ Indianapolis
Chicago (in London)
BYE
@ Green Bay
@ Houston
I'd say AT BEST they'll be 3-4 to start the season. More than likely that's a 2-5 stretch. Distinct possibility they could be 1-6.
To be nice to them, let's assume they start 3-4. So they have to at MINIMUM go 6-3 the rest of the way to go 9-7, which is typically the minimum to making the playoffs, and even then it's not guaranteed.
They have to go 6-3 against:
Detroit
LA Chargers
Cincinnati
@ New York Jets
@ Kansas City
Tennessee
Jacksonville
@ LA Chargers
@ Denver
I don't see it happening. They'll pick up some wins in there, but I don't see 6 of them. And that's assuming they managed to fart out 3 wins in the first 7 games. [Reply]
It's a fake Ian Rappoport account (notice the spelling). That's a fake tweet about Antonio Brown. Peter King is just too thick to have noticed it didn't have a blue checkmark before retweeting. [Reply]
On another board I asked this and now it’s time to seek the wise counsel of Chiefsplanet-which team will be the bigger dumpster fire this season, the Raiders or the Browns? [Reply]
Source: #Raiders WR Antonio Briwn has filed another grievance against the NFL, arguing that he should be afforded the same right provided to other NFL players to have a 1-year grace period to phase out his helmet in 2019 season. He claims the NFL is arbitrarily applying rules. [Reply]
