Ok, so I've now watched (condensed) all 5 Raiders games. Observations: 1) The Raiders are fun to watch. 2) They've been in every game other than that Bengals fiasco. 3) They should have beaten the Bears. 4) Derek Carr looks very good for a second year QB. Good arm, good targets, etc. 5) Carr does seem to really rely on Crabtree uber alles though. 6) Great to watch a team with a decent run game, although the run game seems to only go through Murray and to fail when others come in (screens work with Reese, but that's the only really successful plays I saw with Reese). 7) It's great to watch a team with a decent defense. Not great, necessarily, but at least decent defense. e: 8) It turns out I only know enough to watch football for fun, not to break it down like Menamino et al. ulmont fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Oct 18, 2015 |

I sort of think that this @Chargers game is showing more about the Chargers (total inconsistency - the Chargers hung with the Packers until the end last week) than the Raiders, although what I may be seeing instead is a young team growing up in front of me. I'll rewatch it in condensed form Tuesday or Wednesday, but I don't know that I'm taking away a whole lot about the Raiders so far.

This game (Raiders-Jets) was summed up here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3749145&perpage=40&pagenumber=13#post452199981 Summary is from a Jets perspective, but it was a fun game to watch for the Raiders.

The Raiders running game is still a breath of fresh air to someone used to no running game though.
