Let's move on from that one, shall we?

I'll be in Overstock.com Coliesum for this one, so I'll start the thread.

In past years, this might have been a laugher. Not this year. The Raiders are coming off a great win against a stout NYJ defense. McFadden really scares me as he looks all world so far.

I think the Pats will find a way to win in a high-scoring squeaker. I also hope to escape the Black Hole unscathed.

[WayBackVazquez]

I'll be there, too. Glad this game is being played early in the season this time around. Last game up there when Cassell and Randy lit them up, it was bitter cold and poured all game.

I'll be there as well. Was there the last time as well when Cassel lit them up.

[Turrable]

Oh for fuck sake, I'm seriously getting the Denver-Green Bay game instead of this? Idiotic.

[Old Fart Tree]

The Red Sox were like my son. I raised them. And when they died a part of me died. But now you're the one. You're the one that's gonna keep their spirit alive. You're the one that's gonna make sure that they didn't die for nothing.

Edit: Actually, fuck those guys. They had no spirit. Seriously, Fuck the 2011 red sox. Patriots, I turn my lonely eyes to you.

[SoxScout]

Hernandez, Vollmer and Wright are out for the game.

[MentalDisabldLst]

Chung still a possibility?

[SoxScout]

Dowling, Bodden and Haynesworth out.

Jesus Christ.

[Ed Hillel]

Need 40 points again to win.

[jsinger121]

WTF

[jsinger121]

Looking likes Haynesworth won't hit those incentives while sitting out.

Looking likes Haynesworth won't hit those incentives while sitting out.

He's still been more productive than Ocho though.

The 4th quarter of last week started one of the worst weeks in New England sports in a long, long time. Let's get this ship righted.

[mascho]

Would be nice to get a solid win, and see a good performance before the circus that is Jets Week.

[SeoulSoxFan]

Not looking good. Too many players out, traveling cross-country, with no fix in sight for our anemic defense.

The D's inability to contain the edge really comes into play today, as the Raiders love attacking off either tackles.

Thank god Chung is back, but I am feeling very, very nervous.

[luqin]

I'm officially worried about this game. The Raiders line can get pressure up the middle, they've got a good rushing attack, they've got fast WRs, and they've got a QB who can pick up yardage with his legs on 3rd down. To semi-quote Apollo Creed's trainer in Rocky: "They're all wrong for us, baby!"

[ShaneTrot]

What happened to Bodden? Not that he was making any plays anyway.

[TheoShmeo]

I'm confident about this one.

The Belichick Brady Pats don't often lose consecutive games and don't often lose to teams with a QB as mediocre as Jason Campbell.

Critically, after the events of the last several weeks, I especially need them to win, and it's all about me.

I think the bulk of us feel that way. A loss today might send me into a tailspin....

But you don't necessarily need to be an elite QB to have a good day throwing on the Pats D, and Oakland has McFadden to help open things up down the field. That worries me. Campbell has hit some big throws down field.

[Sille Skrub]

Win today.

[mascho]

Bring this home, Skrub.

[Ed Hillel]

At this point, I would objectively say we are underdogs. Too many key injuries in an already poor defense against a potentially explosive offense on a cross-country trip. Who are our 5th and 6th defensive backs? Will we be using our shitty backup safeties to play nickel and dime?

[mikeford]

New England @ Oakland
Kevin Harlan, Solomon Wilcots

Experience is saying a bounce back win.

Gut is saying our guys get blasted into the middle of next week, physically dominated, run over and around.

The latter would cap the worst week in Boston sports since February 2008.

[Fratboy]

Oh shit, 3/4 talking heads on the CBS pregame picked the Raiders as their upset special.

[shawnrbu]

Marino picks the Raiders. As does Cowher and Shannon.

Total disrespect. Use it, BB.

[TheoShmeo]

Picking the Raiders today is utterly defensible given the loss last week, the total lack of a pass rush, the defense's numbers all around and the Raiders' performance last week.

But can there be any doubt that at least some, if not most, of the guys picking the Raiders are rooting hard against the Pats and are letting their parochial interests play a role? Between SpyGate and BB's attitude, the Pats may be one of the most disliked teams in the NFL.

As long as the refs aren't in that camp, and call games straight up, I sort of like that position.

[Ed Hillel]

Marino picks the Raiders. As does Cowher and Shannon.

Marino also said BB was "probably one of the better coaches in the NFL" last week.

The Red Sox are a distant memory.

WIN PATS WIN

My Directv is telling me I can purchase individual games for $44.99. When did that start?

Mallet the last inactive

[TheoShmeo]

Mallet the last inactive

I guess that means that Patrick Chung is dressing today. Given the state of the rest of the secondary, that qualifies as very good news.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Totally despise the late game.

I am sure CBS will get us to the action with 3 minutes left in the 1st.

We don't play at 1PM for like 10 weeks now right?

I have nothing to base this on, but Chad Ochocinco is going to earn AFC offensive player of the week honors today. Call your bookie.

[Pandemonium67]

I heard that guys on the offense are sitting on the bench drinking beers when the defense is on the field. Sounds like BB is no longer getting through to some of the entitled veterans.

Word is that BB the coach does't have ownership support and will leave, even though BB the GM wants him to stay. BB the GM might leave too, jumping ship to Chicago. It's all Lackey's fault.

[luqin]

They better get this Bills game off the fucking television when the Patriots game starts.

Seeing the Bengals march down the field and kick a field goal to beat Buffalo makes me feel even worse about last week.

I just realized the Bills game was last week. As in, it was only a week ago. Mein gotten.

Win today.

Yep. What a clusterfuck last week was.

It makes me feel happy right now.

Are there any good streams out there? I'm struggling to find one.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

So the elite team in the AFC is now...

[Salva135]

WIN.
