    Week 14: Oakland Raiders

    In typical Tomlin Steelers fashion, The Steelers have blown two very winnable games against two beatable opponents. Because of that, the playoffs have officially started this week. The Steelers have to essentially win out a brutal stretch to even have a chance. Starting with a tough opponent in Oakland. It doesn't make a lick of difference, Oakland is just like Denver. Nothing ever seem to go well for the Steelers there.

    Oakland has been Ben's kryptonite. He has never played well or won there (0-3). Derek Carr can throw the ball well and can exploit the Defense.

    We know this team can play, but the real question is whether or not this team can be trusted to not shoot itself in the foot to lose.

    We all know they will find a way to lose and make some scrubs look like pro bowlers. Ben throws interception after interception while Carr and Bryant to make things worse have field days. Silver and Black should enjoy this one

    Tomlin is a better leader than he is a coach. The only chance they have of making it to the Super Bowl is if it's do or die every week. They are just about there... 8-4-1 after Sunday, then take out the Pats at home.

    I say this every time we play. I don't think you have much to worry about. The Raiders are horrible. The defense is non existent. We have no WR's to catch the ball, so Carr is irrelevant.... he checks down 90% of the time. Most of the players are 3rd string/practice squad guys. You should win this game with no problem.

    I'm not so sure about that, the Steelers with all the talent they have can't play and can't coach 60 minutes of football. Plus Ben really sucks in Oakland.

    See same old story. No matter how bad you think the Raiders are, they will always beat the Steelers. But if we just add a player here or there, Win Now, It’s a small window, LMAO!

    I'm sure you though the same thing numerous times over the past dozen years. This is a prime opportunity for the Steelers to play down and lay an egg

    Then we remember all the shitty Raider teams of the past who looked like world champions against the Steelers, especially in Oakland. Terrelle Pryor scampers for a 90-yard TD in 2013, Raiders secondary picks Ben 4 times in 2006, Raiders comeback in 2012...

    I have seen nothing to indicate Sunday will be any different. This is the same Tomlin-coached inconsistent Steelers team who finds ways to lose and falters to inferior competition, and the Raiders are terrible, the absolute prime moment for that season-destroying upset.

    The Raiders should be A-OK Sunday.

    Ben will throw 3 INT's, 2 will be pick 6 and the Raiders will have 200 yards rushing. JuJu will be called out on the radio show for not catching the pick 6's.

    Never gets old, its a weekly radio show. Only way it gets old is when the ratings are bad.

    Steelers open as 11&1/2 point favorites with 51&1/2 over/under

    Raiders getting the points looks like the smart move

    And that's probably what most fans thank as well after the last few games, but as soon as the money is called in, this will be the game they cover. /because Steelers

    Cold and flu season is in full swing in western PA. Hope everyone is healthy for the game.

    Re: Week 14: Oakland Raiders

    At least we’ll be spared Martavis Bryant having a big game and catching the winning TD pass - Raiders put him on IR with a PCL injury that did not heal up

    https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/ra...t-roster-moves

    I assume some team will sign him to a vet minimum contract in 2019 and be as disappointed as his two previous teams

    Renewed props to Colbert for fleecing Gruden for the third round pick

    I wouldn’t be opposed to bringing him back in a very team friendly deal.

    In case I don't get on here tomorrow............... I honestly hope the Steelers beat the shit out of the Raiders. We have already won too many games. I want/we need the #1 draft pick. Please..... take care of business tomorrow. That said, I hope there are no injuries on either side, and nothing happens to jeopardize your season. Nothing matters to the Raiders' season, so.................
