Can you believe Raiders are ranked #1 in pass defense and ranked last in pass offense?

I can believe it, it's the stats. But, with time, Walter will improve and so will the ranking. I think Raiders lack team chemistry on offense, and it should be interesting to see how Porter's return affects the team. On the road in Seattle should be a tough test for the team. Defense is improving every week, and barring injuries, they should perform well throughout the season.\n\nGO RAIDERS!

They are in the running but they better pick their game up a notch or two. \n\nThe raiders almost beat em in KC last week, they were pretty much given a gift INT at the end of that game, if they had lost that \ngame nobody would be talking playoffs for them.\n\nEveryone knows they can run the ball and play "decent" defense at times but they are lacking in the passing game, especially without Gonzalez.\n\nWe will know a lot more after the game tomorrow.

The following is my list of what players would be taken number 1 if that team had the number 1 pick.\n\nLions - Troy Smith (they've never had a mobile quarterback, and with Kevin Jones, Roy Williams, etc., Troy Smith is the missing peice, as long as he doesn't flop like that b1tch Joey Harrington)\n\nRaiders - Brady Quinn (Aaron Brooks is mobile enough, they really need to fix their offensive line, but a quarterback with a high football IQ would be better than a mobile one)\n\nArizona - Linebacker (sorry, I don't pay attention to coollege defensive players)\n\nSan Francisco - Calvin Johnson (another reciever to give Alex Smith better options, especially if Vernon gets healthy)\n\nMiami - Offensive Lineman (again, don't follow them either)\n\nCleveland - Calvin Johnson (Charlie Frye is going to be their man, so they will start loading up the offense for him)\n\nHouston - Mike Hart (to make up for not taking Reggie Bush last year, they still need a running back)\n\nTampa Bay - Who knows, they need everything at this point.

Well, if you are looking for a well educated answer, than none of them suck, since all of them have won Super Bowls. I suppose at the moment, the Raiders suck the most.

I would say they won't win........They have not been doing too good.\nI live about 1 hour from their homebase.......It's hard on the Raider fans here........From what I have seen.  Yikes...they need to crack the whip on those Boys.......They draw a good crowd normally.\n\nhttp://www.raiders.com/intro/raiders.com.html

Yes, he has done a horrible job on defense.  I believe he does a decent job head coaching.  He should probably head coach Rice or try and see if the Raiders would give him the job.  At the moment they would even take back Bill Callahan.

Not to mention that #91 of the Raiders' defense got ejected from the game for picking on Jerramy Stevens of the Seahawks.  The game itself was just too slow to watch.  I nearly fell asleep watching it.

Yes!!!!!Larry Johnson averaging over a hundred yards per game,passes to Tony Gonzalez, catching by Eddie Kennison[except against Broncos on thanksgiving}, and Trent Green[aka Super Bowl Quarterback]Defense just got spiked up!!!

They can go all the way if they don't "rest" the starters like they did last year.. That was a BIG mistake! Since Edgie is gone, as soon as the line learns how to open a lane, you'll see the running game get as good as the passing game. Defense looked pretty awesome against the Pats when it really counted...

The Raiders D.... well, they are monsters against the pass, they really make man-coverage work for them.  Against the Chargers last week, they were actually playing 4-4 defense in an effort to keep Tomlinson out of the game... it didn't work.  If a guy can break a 44 yd run on you when you've got 8 men in the box, you need work on your run stopping.  On the other hand, L.T. may not be human.  I do think they've been weak against the run this year, which is why I wouldn't put them up there with the Ravens or Bears D, I would liken them to the Browns D this year, good but not good enough to win them games.

oakland has one of the best pass defenses in the nfl suprisingly   so id go with delhomme    chambers vs kc and driver vs minn.  good luck.

I think he will give them a much better shot to win games, and I think the Raiders will win some games that surprise you....and it may start this week against the Chiefs.\n\nFor more on the Raiders, Chiefs, and the NFL......check this site out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

Yo Ohio State is going to be number 1 as they always are. With Troy Smith, Antonio Pittman, Teddy Ginn, man the list just goes on and on. I cant wait until we play Texas again. This time we are going to beat them because Vince Young isnt at quarterback anymore. The only reason we lost last year was because of him. He was the whole team it was a one man team
