4-3 and heading to the Steelers next week. I am excited!

Half way to my prediction of 8-8/9-7 and squeezing into the playoff as a wild card...

Beat the Steelers..  There's a guy in my class that keeps (for some reason) bragging about the steelers being one of the best franchises of all time.

I hope my Raiders beat the Steelers. As far as "the steelers being one of the best franchises of all time", he's not far off as they are in the top five in just about every all time ranking I've seen along with the Packers, Cowboys, 49ers, and now Patriots. Along with championships, they also have a huge following.

[proudlao]

Yes, it's a possibility that we could end up with a 9-7 record and take the wild card spot. But to be honest, it's still early. I want to believe so bad though.

He has the right to brag, Steelers are for sure one of the best franchise along with all the teams theking have listed.

theking, come do the predictions with us. Just for fun. It's never too late.

[theking]

I'd be okay with him bragging if the steelers were doing good this year.  It's kind of like my other friends who can only talk about the glory days of the niners.  Great teams.  But right now, they are not exactly that.  Steelers may still make it since they are 4-4. But we'll see.

Yep, there are realistic fans and then there are delusional fans that think their team will be underfeated and win the super bowl every year...

Speaking of my sorry ass 9ers, they gave up a great TE in Davis to Denver for nothing....

oakland played like they wanted to stay in oakland. 

nope, you're going to LA 

[proudlao]

Tough loss, hard to take. But I am proud and glad to see the team is now competitive once again. We got MN in house next week. Need that win to be mathematically alive for the playoff picture.

[proudlao]

Derek Carr is good but we will not be able to beat anyone if he throws INT every single week.

[proudlao]

In any other teams I believe he would have been benched but with us he's the future and we have got no other choice with moving forward and trying to create a dynamic offense.

[proudlao]

I'm not sure where we can grab four more wins, with three more our playoff hope will demise. Those close games, those should have won games will hurt us.

These are remaining schedules. KC,DEN,GB,SD,and KC.

[proudlao]

If we beat KC at home this week I will believe we can push for a playoffs birth. If not, our chances are slim to none.

[proudlao]

The ship is sinking and the season is over. But I'll live and happy that we are improving. Carr will need to work on his INT.

[proudlao]

Dude I was so devastated. I believe I have depression over the loss yesterday 

[proudlao]

I don't have the game, so I was tracking the stats and the plays on my app. Carr threw 3 INTs in the 4th quarter, one was a pick six.

When our super dependable Seabass missed the extra point after the 3rd touch down, I had a feeling it was going down hill and it came true...
