Week 8: New York Jets vs Oakland Raiders thread

As for Ivory, dude's having a monstrous season, but the Raiders have the #3 rushing defense in the league. Much better up front than they were last year (big addition was Dan Williams). last season the raiders run D was in the 20's

 

Jets defense has come a long way since week 1 of last year too

 

What's the word with Pryor and Mangold

 

Raiders are good but i still don't see any favorable match ups for them. I think were gonna whoop some ass tbh.


31-13

 

I'll simply take a win and move on... 30-21 Jets.

 

either way is fine with me lol. I'd like for our D to reclaim that #1 spot back in the process though.

 

Haven't heard anything ....? what's going on?

I think Mangold is going to be out, probably a good chance they hold our pryor too. Better get prepared to roll without them. ..

 

Didn't Washington have the #2 run D going into the week we played them? just saying.

 

Didn't hear anything about their status for the game but the injuries are both minor.

 

mangold was reported as "sore neck" on Monday. he's playing.

 

Ivory is the other question mark..? He seemed to get better as the game went on in New England...

 

All the other teams of this caliber we've played we've let linger till halftime then pulled away. I'll take 10-7 Jets halftime, 30-13 final.

 

Is it just me or are running backs extremely unreliable nowadays? When I was a kid, Dickerson and Sweetness would take the rock and run till the cows came home. Now running backs value carries like starting pitchers on pitch counts. Or are modern players hitting them that much harder?

 

We played 3 1/2 quarters of pretty flawless football against New England and were unable to create a takeaway. Yes, playing out in Oakland, CA is a hike and tall order...but have to feel like the Jets D will create some takeaways this Sunday. A pick 6 or fumble 6; or God forbid Special team 6 would be ideal; take a little pressure off the O. Marshall probably due for a Td as well.

 

Yup I think there's a barrage in the second half similar to Cleveland and Washington. The Mo dropped pick and the Sheldon strip sack we didn't recover both sting, they'll get some Sunday.

 

Teams realize its better to get 100% out of 2RBs for 40 snaps, than it is for 1back to shoulder the 40 carry load.

 

Wow, Raiders fans are really cocky about this one. Do they remember they lost to the Bears like 2 weeks ago?

 

At least we dont have to worry about Stabler, LaMonica or Ben Davidson...

 

where do you get that impression. as far as i can see i'm the only raider fan who's posted here and i flat out said the jets are the better team

 

Before New England we outscored opponents 34-0 after that game it's 41-3. Oakland better hope they have a touchdown lead or more going it to half because we own the 3rd Quarter and part of the 4th
