I HATE THEM ALL-MAXX CROSBY ON HIS RIVAL OPPONENTS IN THE AFC WEST.

The Las Vegas Raiders (5-8) have a short turnaround this week as they host their AFC West rival Los Angeles Chargers (5-8) on Thursday Night Football.

There is frustration in Raider Nation, and not just from the fans. Everyone in “The Nation” knows that the Raiders beat themselves on Sunday, and they are chomping at the bit to get back on the field and get back to winning Your defense is performing exceptionally well right now. When it’s performing on that level, is it more of just keeping on track or are you still looking for nuances and to make changes?

Coach Graham: “Each week is so different, so again the main objective for us is to keep them from having more points than our offense. So, again, that’s how we judge ourselves in terms of how we’re doing, so that’s the most important thing there. And then we know in this league, each week is different, so the main thing is to try to — within the six days, or in this case the four days — see what’s best to stop this opponent to minimize their play-makers. They have a good offensive line, they’re working well together, the skill guys. I know the situation at quarterback, but from what I saw on the tape, I mean this guy (Easton Stick) can throw the ball, he seems pretty confident and like he has control of the offense, so it’s going to be a challenge.”
