Wow, we're so lucky the Raiders are the Raiders. What a dumb team.

The offense needs to get their **** together. O-Line played pretty pathetic today

I'm looking at this half full. The offense isn't great, but it all comes down to the o-line. That needs to change. But, the defense is looking pretty good. Hightower looks like a new man this year.

But the defense has played against Miami, Vikings, and Raiders.
Vikings: Cassell, no Peterson, and a rookie in Patterson
Raiders: Rookie QB, McFadden, and James freaking Jones and Streater as their starting WRs

Similar lineups used to drop 30 on us.

The offense will eventually get it together but gosh what a frustrating game to watch offensively!!!

Agreed.
Way Too much penetration one-on-one.
O-Line is way too worried about LBs right now and "forgets" about the d-line (first)

Meh... Belichick made the Mankins trade knowing he can coach up the o-line guys he has over the course of the season, and if history is any indication, that will happen. In the meantime, we a bit disjointed offensively. I thought we outplayed a terrible team by a significant margin today, just couldn't punch it in on the goal line today. But our defense looks good, and we can run the ball pretty well, so if we are down to worrying about Tom Brady and the passing game, well... oh no, how scary lmao.
We'll be fine. Every year, we are always a shaky looking 5-2 before we win 9 of the next 10 and win at least one playoff game. Been like that for nearly 14 years, really.
