Oakland Raiders Week 10 Recap
11 / 13 / 2010
Playoffs???
The division is wide open, but the Raiders do have a harder schedule than the competition (Chargers and Chiefs). The Chiefs aren’t as good as their record shows and Philip Rivers has been beasting with whoever is receiving (WR Carousel). Last year it seemed like we played better against better teams (Beating Pittsburg Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles while losing to the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Browns). Those fluke losses to the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers could come back to haunt the Raiders.
Richard Seymour (DT)
Since Seymour came back after injury, he has plugged the whole and the run defense has instantly improved. He may not get Derrick Burgess eye-catching sack numbers, but he gets it done behind the scenes. He constantly gets double-teamed opening up sack opportunities for other players on the line. He has his ring and veteran presence which is needed on the young team.
