Good break (no pun intended) for the Raiders though as I had next week's game penciled in as a home loss to the Bears. Now especially if DMC returns hard to imagine the Bears travelling West and beating the Raiders with Caleb Hanie starting. Maybe it's me but I can't recall a year with so many players going down to injury. The Raiders haven't been healthy all year and have been starting rookies and undrafted players in the secondary all season, losing their starting QB for the season, Matt Shaughnessy lost for the season, starting RB for 4 games, only one receiver has started every game this year. DHB was carted off yesterday and Seymour could only play a few downs. Maybe the long training camps and preseason is more important than originally thought as injuries have always been part of the game but this year some teams are being depleated.
