Didn't he watch football last season? The OL was one of the best last season. Or does he mean that the rest of the team is so good that the OL looks ordinary compared to everything else?

Our run D was the real weakness.
Not having Mack match up with Havenstein is nice however.

I won't lie Hudson is an exceptional center; Gabe Jackson and Osemeli are also very strong at their position.

But those three are facing a front of Brockers, Suh, Donald; who will all be moved around and made to exploit weakness.

Thanks I don't follow the Raiders. I will see how he and the rest do against the Big Three Rams.

And there it is, we’re going to learn a lot this game, personally I’m not so sure this is going to be the cake walk it appears as on the service

Running the ball will be their game plan early. Once they fall behind the Rams offensive barrage they will be forced to pass and that won't go well. Look for a second half explosion in Rams scoring.

Well it's the NFL and on the road. Some entertaining comments by their fans but...

Our team better have the right mindset - the eagles won the Superbowl partially based off the fact that no one took them serious with Nick Foles.

We have a better team on paper.. but, means jacks crap once that ball is kicked off.

I have confidence, but it's the Raiders, at home, with a new coach - they will be amped as freak.

Don't take that lightly.

It really sounds like the whole team is already doubting their crazy coach and his odd decisions regarding the roster. I don't think they will come in all amped up at all. I think they realize that this year is Gruden's start to reshape the roster. I think they come outlast.

I'm always weary of every game we play, but I think our D-line is going to have a field day. I'd forgotten Beast Mode was there, Marshawn has been contained by the Rams so many times in the past, and we weren't as talented upfront then!

I hope Gurley enjoys himself now that Mack isn't there too.

I heard someone on the radio this morning say that the raiduhs are the oldest team in the league now. That's a Gruden crutch... he usually trys to find already developed players and relies on their experience despite their declining skills. Not always the best plan... especially in the second half of games and the second half of the season.

The Oakland Raiders have the oldest roster in the NFL in 2018. 27.4 average years of age compared to the Rams 25.5. Doesn't seem like much of a difference does it?
*********************************************************************************
Not one of these posters picked the Raiders to have a top ten offense. Probably wise.

Predict Top 10 offenses

3 - Los Angeles Rams (finished top in scoring last year and added weapons, but still need to see Goff do it again)
--------------
9) Rams - Most overrated team in the league. That's not to say they won't produce a good amount of offense. They have a plethora of talent but the 2017 product was the classic catch-you-by-surprise version. They'll have success but not nearly as much.
--------------
I don’t buy that “catch teams by surprise” theory you have about the Rams. I get you can catch a team on a random day by surprise for 4 quarters. You might can start the season in the month of September by surprise as teams are trying to figure themselves out. But to go through 17 weeks, 16 games and catch everyone by surprise, that’s impossible.

By week 8 teams know who to take seriously. Week 6 when the Rams traveled to Dallas, I’m sure Dallas took them seriously. Especially with Gurley coming on national tv TNF and jokingly saying to Dallas legend Irving that the Rams were going to and I quote “whip up on the Cowboys”.

I’m sure the Jags after dominating the Steelers took the Rams seriously Week 6 going up against the number one offense to shut them down and beat them at home. Then in London I’m sure the Cardinals took the Rams seriously in Week 7. Fast forward to weeks 11-16 when the Rams traveled to Minnesota, played the Saints, played the Eagles, traveled to Seattle and Tennessee and went (3-2) clinching a divisional title.

All those teams took the Rams seriously. Like the Rams only had one game that was a blowout and that was against the Vikings in which it was a 7-7 game entering the 4th Q and the game got away from them. The Rams didn’t sneak up on anybody. They were just really good.

8. Rams- A lot of great offensive weapons but I worry about Goff repeating in '18 without offensive coaches.

Rams/Eagles

I do have a feeling that at least one of these two teams(if not both) will not have a top-10 offense this year. But as it stand, it's hard to keep them off of this list for the above reasons.

Philly losing Reich and Flip could have a bigger impact than it may seem right now. The Rams offense could have just caught lightening in a bottle against some bad defenses.

But again, while these are certainly possible, I can't count either of them out right now.

I hope Sean McVay is reading some of these delusional predictions. Goff, too.

Nothing like being disrespected to drive success.

At least this guy gets it.

Man, I thought Raiders fans would be demoralized and sad. Kind of glad there are still a lot of them to smash the hopes and dreams of this Monday.

It must be some kind of media bias because nobody was saying Jimmy Crapola was a catch you by surprise QB, even though he played only 5 games.

I watched his play in pre-season and IMO, he looked quite pedestrian, struggling mightily against the Colts as he played into the 3rd quarter.
