Guest Negatorris Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I looked at Oakland's stats, and these guys are pretty bad overall. I didn't care that we didn't punch WAS or CAR in the mouth, but this game should be an azzwhooping. I know that no game is easy though, and I hope our team doesn't take this opponent lightly.22nd in Total Offense(318yds/g)13th in Passing Offense(258yds/g)32nd in Rushing Offense(60.8yds/g)<---Shocked the **** outta me28th in Total Points(67 Scored This Year)29th in Scoring(16.8pts/g)28th in Total Defense(Giving up 411.5yds/g)26th in Passing Defense(Giving up 283yds/g)23rd in Rushing Defense(Giving up 128.5yds/g)28th in Total Points Allowed(125 Given Up This Year)28th in Scoring Defense(Giving up 31.3pts/g)I can honestly ignore the last two games but if the Falcons struggle here I will be dumbfounded. I guess all the extra rest OAK has been getting may help, as they are coming of their bye. P.S. I really hate the **** outta the schedule makers.

I couldn't believe they ranked worst in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyDmx Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Despite their rankings they will try to come out aggressive and gash us with the run like The Panties and Deadskins did. Our defense has to stop the run and make Palmer try to beat us in the air for us to go 6-0 at the bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maorifalcon Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Only concern I have is their speed...Not sure if Heyward bay will be back, but man they have speed on offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again it could be his blocking.this is true. i read somewhere where he is having a hard time adjusting to the new zone blocking scheme. he is outrunning the blocks. they will get it together sooner or later. just hope its week 7. Their strengths on offense play right into the strengths we have on defense. should make for an interesting afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The Raiders don't travel well at all, so hopefully the Falcons can make this one quick and painless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Negatorris Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The Raiders don't travel well at all, so hopefully the Falcons can make this one quick and painless.Yeah, traveling from west to east is worse than when we travel from east to west. But they're still coming off their BYE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devious Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The only way I can wrap my head around the Raiders pulling out a win is if our defense collapses and has the worst day of their lives. Raiders will probably have to score 30+ points for this to even be a close game at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtybird56 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I've been reading up on the Raiders, McFadden is a boss but man they can't block a **** thing for him. Their passing game is just about as rough. As for their defense, well their best cb is basically at best a 2nd cb. They can't stop the run either. I'm chalking up the past 2 games being close due to the mobility of cam and rg3. Palmer's a pocket passer, Sunday should be an azz whoopin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Greg Knapp is their offensive coordinator, need I say more?People love to hate on MM, but that was a truly bad OC right there.The best plays for the Falcons when Knapp was the OC were the busted plays.

*NiteFalcon* Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 After the things we have seen this season there is no reason to believe Oakland will be any challenge. they lack playmakers besides mcfadden, and our secondary is eating up passing attacks right now. I expect our D to hold them under 20, very solid TOP control by our offense and definitely over 25 by the offense. Turner should continue to get this season back on track in the running game, I'll predict 100+ yards for him on the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolyMoses Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Their signature win of the year was against a Steelers team that had traveled to San Diegonweek one, back to Pittsburgh week 2, then BACK out to Oakland week three. THAT'S gotta be rough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuggle'2 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 It would be nice to get a blowout heading into the off week at 6-0. We could use the momentum heading into the back half of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT'S gotta be rough!First week was against Broncos, but still a lot of traveling. The NFL changed the schedules to East coast teams don't have to travel to both SD and OAK in the same year.

Falcon Fred Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I never look at any game as an easy victory; however the Raiders have discipline issues, coaching issues and the whole ten yards. We are not looking at a very good opponent, though they do have A LOT of talent on their roster.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 If the Falcons struggle in any way to move the ball through the air it will be a colossal disappointment. The Raiders are giving up:71.5% completion percentage9 TDs in 4 games0 INTs17 explosive plays so farOpponent QB rating of 113.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
