The defense managed not to fall apart in the 4th qtr which has been their trademark move this season. If they played all 4 qtrs like that Oakland would be 7-2 right now.
There's no reason to post when they lose because they're an Up/Down team and we all kind of expect it to happen. There's nothing we can say about a Raider loss that hasn't been said 1000 times before.

The Bears are down a qb and a cb, that's it. They're all relatively healthy.

Iono how Tebow does it, but he can 'Tebow' all day.
It's ugly.
It isn't exciting (til a few minutes of the 4th quarter).
But the dude gets it done.
Absolutely amazing that he's 5-1 with attempting maybe 20 pass attempts per game.
They're now the only team Oakland has to worry about. If the Broncos are within striking distance in the 4th, Tebow has the shot of making it happen. Definitely made me into a believer.

Bump...
Oakland didn't show up at all this past week.
Will they show up against GB? Are we gonna lay flat, and get run over?
Or are we gonna fight til the end?
Moore is back, Ford should be. Only DMC remains to get healthy. Hopefully soon, we could use him... Bush is great running at all, but man, he can't pick up a block at all.

My guess.... the Raider seem to step up or down to the competition. Lately it seems like they forgot who they are (one of my fears when they picked up Palmer).
That last game they were so predictable it was embarrassing. They need to get back to running the ball. Just because you don't run for 8 yards every down right off the bat doesn't mean it's not being useful. Set up play actions so those deep ***** work better.
I think they'll come out running against Green Bay and play well. They're gonna loose but I think they'll play better. Green Bay can be beat for big ***** and the Raiders can run them... especially with Moore back and an injured Woodson.
So lord willing, they'll actually show up for this one and run 20 plus times.
If they can not turn the ball over they could make a good game out of it. But there is no way they stop GB's passing game. No way.

Detroit needs a couple more guys. NY needs Bradshaw (healthy) and some help on defense. If they can stay together and pick up a couple key slots on defense they'll have a shot next year.
Niners are close... next year. They have the defense. Especially with another year together in the secondary. WR's are coming together. Alex is getting better. RB's are good but it wouldn't be a bad place to try and land a top slot back... maybe Bobby Rainey. He's a lot like a young Gore. But better. Or Lamar Miller if he falls that far. Hell maybe try to get Hillis. Be a good change of pace back. Gore only has a couple years left.
NO is close only because they can keep pace on offense.
Ravens can win just because of defense.
But I don't see anyone doing it this year. I'm more impressed with GB than I was with NE. I knew NE would win sooner or later. They ran up scores to look good and I think Rodgers has things Brady doesn't.
