Game Day thread: the mighty Josh Allen rolls the dice in Las Vegas

[RunOverByHubbard]

Which is the most likely outcome?
The Raiders revert to last year and lose by 20.
We battle them in a close game but don’t have enough talent on offense to win.
In a pleasant surprise we pull out a win with a decent running game that helps Cousins complete some downfield passes.
The Bills are 5.5 point favorites and the O/U is 53,5 Hemingway and Zuhn look to be out. I saw one thing that says Bowers is doubtful with a knee but the official NFL report says Full Participation in the last practice

I just want to see progress and smart football, like no head butting the opponent. Will N. Dean be the spy on Allen?

Our remaining SOS looks pretty damn rough.

Rams
Jets
9'ers
Seahawks
Donks
Browns
Chargers
Donks
Titans
Cards
Chiefs

I think at best, considering our D, we'll do well to finish with 8 or 9 wins if we win all our "should win" games and pull off an upset or two.

The way Cousin's is playing, the only way we see Mendoza is if he gets injured (hope not) or we are mathematically out of the playoffs. I want to see Mendoza also but I'm just a fan with no patience left and not a coach.

i would love to see fernando play now, his ability to run with the ball would add a different dimension tot he offense plus his balls come out like bullets vs noodle arm

Cousins has exceeded my expectations in a big way. That being said, we are going nowhere as our schedule becomes a mother f[raiders_icon]cker. I think KK should give Mendoza one scripted series per game for the time being and build from there. I do not want Fernando unexpectedly thrown in a game. I am sure Cousins would be OK with that as its not a punishment or an indictment on his play but just reality. I think Cousins has played great but unfortunately our D is as soft as puppy shit and our running game is nonexistent. We need to start giving Fernando reps because this season is going by fast. I would hate to end up being a 5 win team and we see little to no Fernando.
