Now, I know preseason has nothing to do with the regular season but the Oakland Raiders are a bad team. I was at the game last Saturday against the hapless Cowgirls and the game itself serves as testimony for how bad the Raiders are, specially on defense.
Even though there were several key penalties against the Raiders, they were unable to hold the Cowboys over and over again through the entire game.
Their run stopping defense is supposed to get a whole lot better with Sapp and Washington but they seem uncapable of slowing anyone down. In fact, both George as well as well as the other RB got off several nice runs both to the inside as well as the outside.
Another key aspect was they were not able to attack or pressure the quarterback at any time, both Vinny and Romo had all the time in the world to hit their receivers.
Offensively they just dont have much going except maybe the quarterback position but Wheatley and Justin Fargas both blow, and their wide receivers, are not what they used to be. In fact the only impressive part of their offense saturday was the 89 yard bomb from Collins to Doug Gabriel.
Oh and one last detail, their punting leaves alot to wish for.
As I said, it might be preseason but this team is not in any shape to win games this year.
