Maybe now we can put rest the myth that the Raiders always beat us.
How about never a loss in VEGAS……….. ?

It was a solid win but i still don't feel much better about the offense in general. Run blocking was better and Najee was more decisive. Maybe Najee is pushed when Warren is active.
The passing game was still awful. I don't understand how they are not designing plays to go to Freiermuth. Today the run game was working and still almost nothing from the pass game. It's hard to tell from TV. Are there guys open and Fields is not seeing them or is nobody open? Probably a mix of both.
Decide if Fields is the guy or not. If you are sticking with Fields then modify the offense to fit him. He has trouble reading the field. I think that it's even harder for him when he has to turn his back to the defense on play action. I don't think Ben liked that either. Instead of so many pistol formations where Fields turns his back on the fake, make it shotgun where he can keep his eyes on the defense while carrying out the fake. That's his comfort zone.
Roman Wilson looked like he was on the field for only a few plays. Every week i watch other teams play guys at WR that are bench guys or practice squad call-ups. Somehow they are able to make plays in the NFL. I refuse to believe this Arthur Smith offense is so complex that Wilson is just lost.
What is more likely is that Smith would rather have a bunch of TE types on the field. Well guess what, you only have 1 TE worth anything in the passing game, Freiermuth. Washington is more like a tackle eligible. A Matt Spaeth type that can catch the occasional pass but not a primary target.
If you are drawing up plays for Connor Heyward, go to the board, erase it and draw something else.
If you think Wilson is too small and lacks physicality to play outside in this offense then why did you draft him? There were multiple bigger WRs still on the board.
Next up is the Jets and Pickens will no doubt be covered in Sauce. So it may be a good idea to have some plays drawn up to get other open. By others I mean Freiermuth and Roman Wilson.
He's more like a lieutenant in this offense right now, but his efforts have been admirable.Fields has done an admiral job.
Real good breakdowns, Tape! Agree with just about everything you said. I cracked up about Heyward, but you aren’t wrong.If you are drawing up plays for Connor Heyward, go to the board, erase it and draw something else.
7) Great weekend for PA teams as the Steelers, Eagles, Pitt, and Penn State all won.
Best game I can remember from Najee in a long, long time!
That's it right there. As a first-round running back, the expectation is to occasionally create yards on his own.
Exactly, well put!
coming in I knew the Raiders run D wasn’t good. I also remember that egg game that Harris recently gave.
Does he get kudos for the game? Sure no doubt he played great.
But does he game in and game out on a team that is built to be a running team give you that needed difference maker?
Not so much. He has decent short area explosion but you can’t leave out his lack of a long game or his spotty vision. Or the times he simply doesn’t run like he is capable.
Is that all on him no.
I do feel like you can win with him not because of him more often than not.
Colbert too.You might not.....but ask Tomlin what his thoughts were.
I was just bitching. I didn't even get to watch much of yesterday's game. I live in Michigan and was out with some friends for a large portion of the game. Unfortunately, the bar we were at had the Lions on every television, with the exception of one where they were showing the Red Zone. It was hard not to wonder how we lost to the Cowboys. The Lions destroyed them. but Detroit appeared to be firing on all cylinders, which is strange considering they were coming off a bye and should have been totally unprepared.Well Denver sucks, but Atlanta at 4-2 and LA Chargers at 3-2 don’t necessarily suck.
Baltimore doesn't have any better of an O-line, banged up with nobodys's playing, Derrick Henry is 6 yds shy of 4 100yd games out of 6 and he's nearly 31.Perhaps a coincidence. We complain about our offensive line being terrible. Could it be that they play great only 2 or 3 times a season too?
Harris had a good juke in the open field in the first or second quarter, so much space. 30% of NFL RB take that to the house. He got a nice chunk gain. but there was more there.
