Raiders are next...

[German]

What does everybody think about next weeks matchup?

I think if the coaches work on avoiding the dumb penalties
the Bills should have a decent chance to win.

It's going to be another close one and Drew better stays away from Rod Woodson (sp?)

My tip: 31-28 Bills

This will be a huge turning point of our season, if we can squeek out a win. The Raiders are tough all over, look at what they did to Tennessee today.

We showed tremendous improvement in our run defense and special teams.

We do need to chill out on the pass coverage and get Watson to stop touching the receivers.

I think we can pull out a huge upset, but I'm not counting on it.

[The_Philster]

This could be our toughest game so far.

[northernbillfan]

I almost agree with you Phil, but I thought our toughest game so far was the Bronco's, and look how we did against them.

Before today the Raiders opponents were a combined 0-8. Our opponents are a combined 6-4.

[German]

I think this game will be a good indicator of how the rest of the season will go for the Bills.
If they can win, the sky is the limit (I sure didn't predict them to be 3-2 after 5 games). That should give them good momentum going into Houston and Miami.
Can you imagine the Bills going into Miami 4-2? That would be awesome.
The key IMO is penalties.

[shelby]

the Raiders have a great offense...our D will really need to step it up. i agree about the penalties...9 too many vs. the Bears.
This will be a tough game.

[WG]

Woodson's injured and won't be playing.

Their D won't be any tougher than the Broncos for us, probably not even that tough.

It's their O and stupid turnovers leading to scores that will kill us. Or if our STs lapses. But we'll score plenty in that game too. Should be a good one.

German, I totally agree w/ you. It'd be a real coup on the season to head into Miami at 4-2.

[Buffarama]

The Raiders love to get walloped in Buffalo. They're due for a flat game too.

[mybills]

Hasn't anybody noticed that our D is usually no where near the receivers? They haven't been covering the pass at all IMO. They have been doing a good job stopping the run, but c'mon now..
Gannon likes to throw!

Oak 35

Bills 28

Then again, this could change if they work real hard on it in practice this week!

[Novacane]

Should be a bigtime shootout. The D is going to have to cause some turnovers and TH is going to have to hold onto the ball. If those 2 things happen Bills will win 38-31

One thing that I always look for is West Coast teams flying all the way to the East Coast for games. They always have trouble…..The Raiders are coming off a big win and it’s tough to win 4 in a row. If we do lose, it won’t be by much, I’m looking for a nice Bills victory.

[Voltron]

I predict overtime :). Hay we are 3 for 4 the odds are in my favor

[JayWood]

All I can say is BOMBS AWAY!!!! this game is going to look like a war zone with the air attack that will take place between both the bills and raiders

[WCoastFin]

Damn, This is one of the toughest games for me to analyze....Its a lose-lose sitaution for me....

[lordofgun]

If we win this game, we have a shot at the playoffs. We'll also be tied with the Fins for 2nd place since they are going down hard to the Pats on Sunday.
