Next week our team will either grab their balls and punch Seattle in the mouth or let this tough loss end our season. Every week is a grind for every team. Our team has to learn that and we now know we can play with anybody.

Assuming we gut check and beat Seattle then go 2-3 bye week we can make a run after that assuming we adjust or pick up a safety this week so he has time to learn the system by bye weeks end

Depending on how the rest of the games go today we are either 1 or 2 games behind the wildcard after today. Anyone who says we have no realistic chance is being ridiculous.

Based on history we now have less than 10% chance I believe. In other words not a very realistic chance.

You don't start thinking playoff chances at this point in the season. Our team just has to start winning. We could beat any team if our secondary and LB could tackle. Every RB we played this year has looked like Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl. Have to hope there is a magical saftey that can cover and tackle in the draft this year or it will be the same thing coming for a long time.

Maybe you don't. When the season is only 16 games long I think about them from the start.

Last week:

"We just need to put this game behind us and come out against Atlanta and punch them in the mouth. We need to use this as motivation to bounce back and make a playoff run. This is a great learning experience for our team."

This week:

    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
    • Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.
    • In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
