2019 Oakland Raiders Preview
Many people find today's Oakland Raiders to an absolute clown show. When I first followed the NFL, the Raiders made it to the Super Bowl and ended up losing to Tampa Bay. This Raiders team of late is ENTIRELY different. Oakland in 2018 was 18th in passing yards, 25th in rushing yards, and 22nd in total yards per game. The black and silver boys will still try and have themselves as solid a season they can have. Doing so requires MoLIEG's Raiders going through THIS schedule:
* = division game
AUG 10: Los Angeles Rams (Preseason)
AUG 15: at Arizona (Preseason)
AUG 22: Green Bay (Preseason)
AUG 29: at Seattle (Preseason)
SEP 9: Denver* (MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL)
SEP 15: Kansas City*
SEP 22: at Minnesota
SEP 29: at Indianapolis
OCT 6: Chicago
~~~ Bye Week ~~~
OCT 20: at Green Bay
OCT 27: at Houston
NOV 3: Detroit
NOV 7: Los Angeles Chargers* (THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL)
NOV 17: Cincinnati
NOV 24: at New York Jets
DEC 1: at Kansas City*
DEC 8: Tennessee
DEC 15: Jacksonville
DEC 22: at Los Angeles Chargers*
DEC 29: at Denver*
There aren't too many people who think the Raiders are going anywhere this season. Despite such qualms, you still have to go out there and play to the hardest of your ability. Who knows? Maybe Oakland can get on some hot streak and merit being taken a bit more seriously. They could even go on a run like the 2018 Houston Texans. Question is- do they have the talent to potentially pull such a feat, and can they have enough chemistry to make consistent winning happen? You never know. Good luck to the black and silver boys this upcoming season.
