Owner Real Deal Posted October 19, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 PatriotsRavensChargersRaidersBillsBengalsSteelers Would you say the Raiders are a top five AFC team right now? Why or why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I think they are. They could go as high as number 2 behind NE. All depends on how Palmer plays. They have the best running back in the conference though so he's going to get even more touches with a new QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 No, they are not. If Carson Palmer plays real well they could be - but it's hard to know what they'll get out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 It depends on where you rank the Texans and Titans, but without those teams listed, they probably fit into the 5th spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I think until we see what Plamer has left we cant put them in the top 5. Right now they are a team that just lost their starting qb, which puts them out of the top ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Raiders are a product of a favorable schedule...I have them finishing 8-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great iBoldin Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I think Oakland is a legit 9-7, 10-6 team. I agree with what ECN said, probably slotting into the five spot. I think San Diego is better then people are giving them credit for and I think Oakland are better then the AFC South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomarFachix Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 PatriotsRavensChargersRaidersSteelers Would you say the Raiders are a top five AFC team right now? Why or why not?Yes, Yes. AFC Championship game wouldn't surprise me. They have a solid defense, a tremendous running game, and the best punter and kicker combination in the league. That's the recipe. I think they're debatably better than the Chargers, Bills, and the Steelers. Definitely behind the Pats and Ravens. Better than the Bengals. IMO, Palmer will surprisingly open up the running game even more. He can stretch the field and throw a deep ball with the best. That vertical passing game will gain respect and open some lanes for DMC. All guesses. But we'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great iBoldin Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 One thing to note is Matt Shaughnessy just went on the IR today, which is a huge blow. He was one of the most underrated players in football and a pivotal part of that defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
