Seems like the Steelers have no interest in the season. They won their Super Bowl so now it appears that many just don't care. Are the Raiders starting to put something together or am I just over reacting?

I'm very aware of the 98 yards!! I'm talking more about learning how to win once in awhile instead of mailing it in like they have these past few season. Lightin' up!!!

Teams cannot show they found themselves or lost themselves via one game in the NFL. Consistency is hard to find, and adjustments need to be made game to game, and in-game. Next week we will see how they do.

The only really terrible team I can remember was the 75 or 76 Tampa Bay Bucs. Not sure what year it was that they got stomped in every game. Then of course there were a few Eagles teams that broke my heart years ago. Having said all that, I think the Raiders are gaining momentum. Last week they proved to themselves that they were at least better than the Cardinals. Now beating the defending Super Bowl Champs can only make them more confident. (Even though the Steelers are not a very good team). They have good players and good players equal more wins. It will be interesting the rest of the way.

The Raiders had 98 yards total offense and you ask if they are finding themselves? Not!!! The only teams the Raiders are gonna beat under Art Shell are the teams that beat themselves. Shell was a superior player but not much of a coach.

You can't blame the entire roster for Pittsburghs lost, Defense gave up 98 total yards and THe Raiders had 1 first down since the 2nd half. Ben turned it over way to many times plain and simple.
We gave up 14 points today on offence. Our D is still tough as hell.

Raiders only gained like 98 total yards that is hardly finding oneself they get spanked in that game if Ben doesn't gift the defense of the Raiders 2 touchdowns.

The Steelers are just not the same team this year that they were last season. Big Ben has been hurt more and is not recovering from his injuries enough before he plays again. I don't think he should have played yesterday seeing how bad he got hit last week. He needs to give his body time to heal.

I don't think you can find yourself with 98 yards of offense. If they find themselves like that in the next few games then they'll find themselves winless. I think that the two interception returns for touchdowns that Big Ben never should have thrown are the only reason the Raiders won the game.

Yes, with a promising young defense and a move or two away on offense, there is reason to be optimistic in Raider Nation. Steelers arent that bad and Raiders arent that good but thats why they play the games. Just Win Baby!

It was the Steelers that were terrible. With all the interceptions. And you can't really "put something together" with just 98 total yards.
