    I hope we don't play the Pats early this year....

    I don't want to see them on the schedule until at least October. JP needs as much playing time as he can get before we face them, plus it will give our coaching staff a chance to evaluate how the Pats have changed after the loss of their co-ordinators (although, as I've previously stated, I don't think it will hurt them much).

    At least we know we won't have them in week 1- in the words of G. Host, the Raiders have the unlucky duty of being the NFL's sacrificial lamb this season.

    I dunno. Having to play the Pats early doesn't give Belichick the opportunity to study Losman and pinpoint his weaknesses. It might not be such a bad thing to play them early.

      exactly. 31-0 anyone?
      I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
      "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
      You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
      It was all       true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
      He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can       mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

        If they beat us badly, it could destroy Losman's confidence. Plus, he has to be incredibly nervous about those games given his poor performance last time (granted, he wasn't prepared and I don't consider that game an accurate picture of his ability, but in his head he'll have something to prove and that will add to the pressure of playing a division game against the SB champs).

          We will have to play them in the first five games.

            Is this a guess or do you know something the rest of us don't?
