With the injuries that the Cardinals have they can't overlook any team. Especially when they play on the road.

Anyone that thinks this is an easy sure win doesn't know the NFL.

Oakland will be tough at home. Sparano had them ready for the Chargers. Going to be a very physical game.

I guarantee a Cardinal victory
So I googled "mulli" images.....

I would like to think that the bottom of this meme stands for :championship: in whatever language that is.

No way it's a trap. This game was too sloppy and the raiders did us a favor and almost beat the Chargers. That serves as more than a wake up call.

I think this team is far to scrappy and has way too much desire to win to fall into any traps. If we lose it will be because we got beat not because we took them lightly.

Right on Bert-----this roster will not take anyone lightly. They will scrap until they have nothing left to give. If they lose, its because they were beaten, or had the game taken from them.

Trap games don't happen to teams who only want to win. This team only wants to win.

+1 and I offer the broncos loss as proff.

Said they get victory Monday's when they clean up their mistakes.

Yep, when they play well they can have a day off. I like it.

That being said, the Raiders are totally a trap game. Despite what people think. Carr threw that football all over the field. 4 tds against the Chargers. They throw 4 against us and we lose. Period. We have to take them seriously. They are potent on offense with Carr. He's young and dumb and doesn't realize they're outmatched. He's liable to do anything.

The Raiders are not going to finish 0-16 and what wins they get will likely occur at home.

Yes, it's a trap game. More dangerous for us than the Washington game was.

The Raiders absolutely have the ability or beat our Cards. They better bring it.

This is a trap game by no means.. The cards should win regardless but coach BA will by all means necessary make sure to let them know this. The raiders playing a great game last week helps a lot too! Couldn't have happened at a better time honestly. Palmer and JV will be pumped to go back. The reason this was such a high scoring game in the first place was due to being a div. opponent.. The rams play their best games of the year against other NFC west teams and others all around the league same story. If we lose we lose... But it won't be because we took the raiders lightly. I truly believe BA is the best coach in the league. Name another coach that would fit (in az) and make the cards better. I've tried and can't be happier with Bruce.

Their not just a conference team, their a division team.

I don't think you need to really worry about this game. Like I said about the Redskins game, the Cardinals will have to intentionally try to lose in order to lose to Oakland. Their the worst team in football for a reason.

The Chargers sucked against them cause it was in Oakland and a division rivalry. Plus the Chargers defense was awful and didn't bother showing up.

Rivers and co lit up the Raiders "defense". I suspect Palmer will do the same exact thing.

If Brandon Oliver went off for 125 total yards and a TD, imagine what Andre Ellington will do to this team.

Quit worrying, us fans are allowed to overlook opponents, the players and coaches on the other hand are PAID to not do that.

THEY'RE

Anyone keeping up with how Mack has looked. I thought he was a bit overrated going into the draft. Got to be honest I didn't like Carr at all but he looks like he can sling it.

I just look at the talented players the Raiders have on offense- Carr, McFadden, Jone-Drew(so far a dud), Jones, Holmes, Butler, Janakowski, etc. They have some serious talent, but can't find ways to win (or just find ways to lose). I can see this being a scary game as well. I mentioned earlier that we should be ok, but now I am a little frightened. Sure hope it doesn't come down to a Janakowski FG for the win...

Very curious to see how Oakland does coming off what seemed like a giant win vs the Chargers, only to have it snatched away late ---

sometimes those are hard to recover from-

The only team I would slightly not be paranoid of losing to is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers right now... this Raider game is on the road and it is going to be close and Captain Zorro will be getting his chance to show if he can kick a game winner, that is my feeling

It helps them that they will be at home.

I remember the game after the Chicago Bears Monday Night meltdown, our next game was in Oakland which was a winless team. People here thought we'd be angry and just rip the Raiders. Instead, we were flatter than a tortilla and were down two scores before we even knew what hit us. The Raiders were 2-14 that year and one win was against us.
