Jay, lol, o.k. he choked in the Superbowl last year big-time ut Tampa has made a lot of great quarterbacks look like fools, so I can't blame the guy for that loss, it was a tough situation to go against the Gruden-coached Bucs. And he was the NFL MVP to boot. so what's your beef with Gannon? lol you're a broncos fan, huh? I think he's fallen off this year, of course, but it's been a fun/frustrating ride the past 4 years for the Raidah fans so I've gotta give the man props. Just so you know, there's a vocal segment of the Raider nation that has shared your same view.
Oren1 -- this game is a gimme. Oakland wins by more than 2.5. I thought the same thing against Chicago, Cincinnati -- but this time I'll cash with a winning ticket.
How confident are you on this game?
Regarding Gannon -- his time has come and gone. Gannon & Gruden meshed for whatever reason - the intensity and the plays happened. It's left since the Super Bowl. I've been a Raider fan -- albeit incognito due to the presence of Al Davis. Al is a loser for the football team: he just wants power. Financially good for him but bad for the football team.

Ace-Ace,
I don't know what "my comp pick said" means, but I have watched Oakland play. They played tough against Tennesse and Kansas City. They should come to motor city well-rested and a desire to play ball.
Detroit on the other hand hasn't seen the light side of the moon since Barry S. left town.

this year we learned to expect the impossible from the raiders.
it's always something with them.
i think al davis has a talk with the new kid at qb, promises him the world, the kid comes in excited to throw downfield to rice and brown and porter, the team gets fired up and does just the opposite as they did in the first half of the season, cover every game.
once again raiders throw a curveball.
i know it's a reach and sounds impossible, but so does starting the season 0-7 ats.
nobody saw that coming.
raiders turn it around starting fresh off the bye with the lions.
GAME.

"Raiders cornerback Charles Woodson lambasted Bill Callahan during an interview with ESPN's Andrea Kremer, saying the head coach's arrogance is such that he's ignoring the advice of the team's experienced players.
Asked whether Callahan has lost the team because of the Raiders' tumultuous 2-5 start, Woodson replied, "A large part of it.''
What do you do about it as veteran players, Woodson was asked.
"You know what's so tough about that, is I think we have a coach with a very big ego, you know what I mean?'' Woodson told Kremer during an interview conducted Wednesday at the Raiders' facility in Alameda. "And he's not listening to those veterans. And that's what's sad about it.
"When you get to a point, I think, in your life where you can't listen to guys with the experience that we have on our offense,'' Woodson continued, "then I think there's something very wrong. That's the problem.''
KNBR radio as well as ESPN news played that portion of the interview extensively Thursday afternoon. Woodson was not made available to print media this week.
Kremer's entire five-minute piece on the Raiders will air on ESPN's Sunday "NFL Countdown" show.
Callahan was not available for comment late Thursday.
Briefly: Newly signed DT Sean Gilbert, who conceded he was sluggish following his first practice in over a year on Wednesday, looked stronger in Thursday's workout, Callahan said. "He played over the center, he played over the guard. I thought it was a good progression,'' the coach said. "He could possibly be active (Sunday). I haven't determined that.''
