I feel sure that the Raiders will reach the playoff in this year. They have very good players offensive and defensive side.

It sounds intriguing how such numerous raiders fans believe in the course where you go after a very bad-ended season.o It implies that the fans are looking forward to the new head coach as well as the other players who have joined the team.

On either side of the ball, the Raiders have plenty of talent. Nevertheless, they will be required to display improved consistency throughout in order to gain qualification position. Additionally, they should strive to minimize some injuries that they have had over the years.
