Oakland showed it's home fans that they might mean business in 2017. A win over the lowly New York Jets was expected.
Raiders fans got what they wanted. A blowout victory. My, how the downtrodden have risen.
Oakland jumped out to a 14-0 lead, the Jets tried to make a game of it in the second quarter.
New York closed to 14-10 before the Raiders pulled away in the second half to win 45-20.
Raiders fans have not been treated to very many routs and they loved it. The Raiders D nade sure they got one.
Marshawn Lynch got into the act with some nice runs on the field and some nice dance moves off of it. Derek Carr hooked up with Michael Crabtree for three touchdown passes, including the first two scores of the game.
In the end head coach Jack Del Rio got the victory improving his team to 2-0 on the young season. More click here

Hope springs eternal, as they say, which is wonderful news for the California Golden Bears and their porous defense.
Under fired head coach Sonny Dykes scored a ton of points and there are several of his players trying to make NFL rosters this pre season.
Dykes D was pitiful, no that is an understatement. Is was one of the worst in recent and ancient memory.
New Bears head coach Justin Wilcox seems to be the polar opposite of Dykes.
The defensive players already love him.
Stanford is searching for a star to take the place of Christian McCaffrey (on offense) and Solomon Thomas (defense). Bryce Love looks ready to take over for McCaffrey.
The question is who will back up Love. More click here

It is still hard to believe how New England won the Super Bowl.
They did and you have to give it up to them. Coming back against a very good Atlanta team was not easy.
Just about everything had to go right for them and it did.
Tom Brady's 5th ring. Can he get six. Until the Pats are knocked out of the playoffs you know they have a chance.
The Falcons must dust themselves off and comeback with a vengeance. No pissing about for Atlanta. If their young and fast defense can improve and Matt Ryan keeps his high scoring offense rolling Atlanta can make it back to the big dance.
That's a big if for the team that loses the big game. That Bills squad that made 4-striaght Super Bowls back in the day are looking more and more impressive every year.
The Oakland Raiders will be one of the most watched teams this season. A 12-5 campaign from a year ago left a bad taste in their mouth's because they needed more then a first round playoff exit. More click here

What can you say about them now. Warrior's fans are basking in the after glow of watching their beloved team do away with the pesky Cav's in 5-games and in front of their passionate hometown fans.
Kevin Durant did just what the Warrior's were hoping he would do. Create a situation were you can't double team Steph Curry. KD was a problem for Cleveland the whole series.
Except for game four when King James and Co. hit 23 three pointers to win going away the Warrior's withstood LeBron James averaging a triple double against them in the series.
Klay Thompson did everything he could to slow down Kyrie Irvin. You can't stop Kyrie and holding him to just a pair of 40pt games was enough for Golden St. to come away with their 3rd Championship in Oakland.
That ties them with the Oakland Raider's and puts them one behind the Oakland A's 4 World Series titles won since the team moved to Oakland in the 60's. More Click here
