So many of the sunday/monday night games have been great this year... Didn't expect the Ravens to make it back as the Colts really seemed to be moving the ball fairly easily
Evidence of a 2-3 record vs a 3-2 record seems to be pretty ample evidence and even last season both teams had 8-8 records and the Raiders did it with a much more difficult schedule. You really gloating about a win where Raiders players were clearly distracted? You confuse me with rube or something as I don't have anything against the Bears outside the fact they have a terrible head coach and GM.

Both teams are 3-2 and one team just beat the other..
I think the post i made about the game hardly suggested any gloating, you suggested the Raiders threw the game rather than the much more likely fact that the Raiders are again a .500 team that simply shocked the Ravens in week 1.

No offense but the Raiders should not lose to that Bears team. It was clear that some of the players were affected and it's not just from me as many in the media said as much. Gruden probably shouldn't have even have coached that game. Raiders are a better than .500 team but with the coaching shuffle it's going to be difficult as the team is probably pretty shaken up by the events of the past week.

No they shouldnt, and 8/10 tines im sure they dont. However I think theyre much closer to a 6-8 win team like the Bears than they are a 10+ win team like the Chiefs or Chargers.

They didn't throw the game but how can you not factor the distraction?
Beating the Ravens and then flying across the country to beat the Steelers on the road less than a week later was quite the start. We will see what happens next week. 4-2 or 3-3
The Raiders are what they've been for the past couple years: an also-ran capable of beating a lot of teams, also capable of losing to a lot of teams, and essentially a non-factor for serious contender status.

Haha, I don't have anything against the Bears. I just think they have horrible ownership and make terrible management decisions. Nothing against the players or the fans.

Sorry. I have seen you take a lot of jabs at the Bears and assumed maybe he got us mixed up. We both agree about their management for sure.
Ravens are an eyelash away from being 1-4. They pulled out 3 close ones.
In leagues where there's a lot of parity the only difference between a 10+ win team and a 6 win team is the usually the ability to make the plays when it counts in close games.

Top to bottom the Bears are one of the worsr run organizations in the NFL. From the Mckaskeys all the way down. That team needs to be sold when Virginia kicks it.
The Bears are pretty Flames like. The way they get talked about in this forum you'd think they've won 12 games in the last 5 years. In reality they have made the playoffs 2 of the last 3 years and in the last 15 have one Superbowl appearance and another NFC Title Game appearance. So from that perspective they're actually within statistical norms, and better off than the Flames as a comparison. But they do tend to hang out more in that mediocre world and have not been able to find that Franchise QB much like the Flames can't seem to find a top center.
They might not be well run, but compared to other NFL teams they're probably average. Over a 25 year period...the NFL maybe has four well run teams in the Steelers, Packers, Patriots, and Ravens, and maybe the Seahawks if you only look at the last 20 years as a 5th. Other than that there's some others like the Saints, Chiefs, Colts, and Broncos who had a few playoff appearances and won Championships because of having good QB's, but these teams have also done some dumb things too be it lose, employee horrible people, or have an owner who's a drunk bufoon and lucked his way to Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck.
