Now... onto what the author of this article has to say. "The Oakland Raiders at 4-0?" he ponders. "Based entirely on their last three seasons, it looks highly improbable. But based on their first four opponents, it’s extremely possible."

I highly doubt it. For one thing, I don't think they can beat Cleveland, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them lose to either the Chargers or Ravens too. I'd say 2-2 is more likely than 4-0. What do you think?

The Browns aren't there yet, and the Chargers are breaking in a new QB, so it seems reasonable to go 4-0...but more likely to be 3-1 after 4.

I think it's safe to say Cleveland should be better than the Raiders this year though, no?

Why is it "safe to say?"...Aren't they about a toss up?IS Brylon Edwards healthy again?

[Lefty Noob]

Okay, let's see. Promising Charlie Frye should take over at QB. Edwards is healthy and joined by Joe Jurevicius in the WR corps. The team added one of the better OL in the league in LeCharles Bentley, and sured up the defense with DT Ted Washington and LB Willie McGinest. Oakland, meanwhile, has career underachiever Aaron Brooks starting at QB and lost some defensive talent. Not to mention that the Raiders had worse record than the Browns last year to start with.

Whats the story with Moss? It's interesting that while he was in Minnesota I couldn't turn on my computer or television without seeing or reading something about him. Now he is in Oakland and nothing is mentioned about him. Very strange.
