I can't wait to see how much fatter Carson Palmer got during the off season.

if we are so bad, and you now have dennis allen as your head coach. What does that make you?
Dennis Allen is a good coach. He single-handedly turned a terrible defense, with little talent on it, into an average defense last year for the Broncos. Without Dennis Allen last year, the Broncos would be picking in the top 3.
Imagine what Dennis Allen can do with a defense that actually has talented players on it, like the Raiders do. At the very worst, we'll be a middle of the pack defense next year which will be good enough for us, because our offense is so dynamic.
Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil are udersized pass rushers, who suck against the run. Champ Bailey is still a solid player, I'll give you that, but he's nowhere near elite. And LOL DJ Williams sucks. He can't hold Rolando McClain's jockstrap.
Richard Seymour, Tommy Kelly, Desmond Bryant, LaMar Houston, Matt Shaughnessy, Rolando McClain, Aaron Curry, Tyvon Branch, Michael Huff, Ron Bartell....the list goes on and on. The Raiders defense is way more talented than the Broncos defense. Dennis Allen is licking his chops. He will turn this unit into an elite one, whiles your defense will regress with Jack "I come into work late" Del Rio.
We finished 9th in yards without the best RB in the league Darren McFadden missing the last ten games. And a QB in Carson Palmer, who came straight off the couch, didn't know the offense at all, and wasn't in football shape. We also had multiple injuries to key guys like Denarius Moore, Marcel Reece, Jacoby Ford etc...
When you consider all that, it's EXTREMELY impressive that the Raiders were able to finish top ten in yards. Now with everybody back healthy, and now that Carson Palmer has a full offseason to learn the offense and get acclimated with his receivers, the sky is the limit for this offense.
I will be shocked if we are not a top 5 offense next year.
what are the raiders going to do when McFadden goes down again? He has yet to finish a season healthy and Bush is gone. Defense was wrecked and now they have less talent there. Offense has Palmer....um INT machine. Who is going to carry your team? You guys cant even win to make it to the playoffs when we fell flat on our faces at end of season in a huge skid. You had the AFC West and gave it away. Next season you will far worse off then this season. Chargers are the has been of the AFC West. They are aging and getting worse. AFC West will be between Chiefs and Broncos with Chargers still limping along to a .500 record.
