NYRaider Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Now that free agency, the draft, and the schedule have all been finalized how many games do you think we will win this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) No one will have a good idea of the roster/chemistry for another few months, but I will say we are significantly improved on both sides of the ball: O in: Antonio Brown Trent Brown Tyrell Williams Josh Jacobs JJ Nelson Isiah Crowell Ryan Grant Luke Wilson Chaz Green Hunter Renfrow Foster Moreau Mike Glennon Landry Jones Etc D in: Lamarcus Joyner Clelin Ferrell Brandon Marshall Benson Mayowa Johnathan Abrams Josh Mauro Trayvon Mullen Vontaze Burfict Maxx Crosby Curtis Riley Nevin Lawson Isaiah Johnson Quinton Bell Te'von Conley Etc More leadership, more versatility, more speed, more youth, more competition, more hard workers, more talent period. Let's hope they gel and it translates to the field because Mayock and Gruden have done a great job this off season.

agarcia34 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) I asked this about a month before the draft about if they would choose the under or over team total of 6 for the Raiders. Got a lot of under 6 wins. 6 was the team total Vegas set for the Raiders. Now it’s a 6.5. I would still say under 6.5 games would need to see them in preseason before I would feel comfortable taking anything more than 6. Schedule is tough. The defense will be a work in progress. If the Offense is as good as it looks on paper and Carr returns to his 2016 play and Jacobs plays to his potential. This offense could carry them to 8-9 wins.

OG_C2X Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I put 7. I think that can go + or - 2 wins depending on a lot of factors. If its a perfect year and AB comes in and balls out. And Carr returns to '16 form. And the second year players progress and the 4 rookies drafted in the top 4 give us quality contributions our max is 9 wins because of the BRUTAL schedule.

true2form Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 At this point in time I'm hoping for a competitive team week in and week out that gets 6-10 wins against a tough schedule. Asking for anything more is naive. I can only hope that they come together as a team and that we have found the building blocks we need heading into Vegas. Another big off-season awaits that can define the franchise as a perennial contender. I know a lot of fans won't be as patient as I am with the rebuild.

daineraider Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I would say 8 if we weren’t on the road in the east so much. That along with a “home game” in London doesn’t set us up very well. I really want to see us just compete better and play the good teams close. Next year I will have higher expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why i predicted 7 wins. 9 would be if everything goes right. 5 if we have injuries. No progression from second year players and our rookies are just below average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want them to be competitive this year and let the chips fall where they may. For the record, I predicted 6 wins because on paper, that schedule looks brutal.

Chali21 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 It’s hard to be optimistic because of the brutal schedule playoffs are a dream this season. The roster is better but i can see this team getting double digit wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I voted for an optimistic 9 wins. The schedule is horrible. Did us no favors. Most mileage traveled, tons of great teams, two 12 and 4 teams in our division. It's going to be rough. But I think we will fight back this year.
