It seems every week I start off my column with a different level of astonishment. 4-3. The Oakland Raiders through seven games have four wins, and only three losses. Let that sink in. Many people accuse me of being a homer and being too optimistic. I will own that. However, not even I would have expected these sorts of results.
Head coach Jack Del Rio has used the mantra of “one game at a time” all season and the next opponent is another with a long history against the Raiders. It is time to see the Immaculate Reception replaced with an immaculate destruction.
