Oakland Raiders: Watch, Fight and Prey

I like to read the articles the day before the game. It let's me know how folks are thinking.

I am going to counter an argument, right now. One article was on the front page of B/R for a hot minute. By the time I finished this opposite opinion, it was not there. It predicted a loss, 20-6. I have an opposing opinion.

We are going to watch, fight and prey, and I do mean "prey."

There will not be a margin of defeat. There will be victories.

Why?

It's simple.

We are going to watch, fight and prey on the Broncos. We are going to be victorious in transforming our state of mind. We are going to think "victory" and we are going to have "victories."

Are you telling me you believe that the Broncos are going to come to Oakland and kick our butts? I don't think so.

The Oakland Raiders are the aggressors. They are going to "prey on" the Broncos and bring them down, to defeat them.

I know there is fierce rivalry between Oakland and the Broncos. But, where are we playing this week? In our house.

Are you telling me you are going to let some jokers kick down our door, and plunder our house? No, I don't think so, not at this time, nor at this place!

In another article I talked about a battle or, let us say, competition between a historical Gideon and his opponents.

Gideon used the element of surprise, induced confusion, and there was a powerful synergy.

Whatever Gideon directed his team to do, they did it, and they did it exactly as he commanded.

So, the lesson for the day, the day before our football battle:

Surprise the opponent with an accurate, precise quarterback

Confuse the opponent with a powerful spirit and determination to win

Watch the opponent and have a level of attentiveness that defies any attempt of the opponent to get the ball through to the goal

Fight and maintain a powerful and forceful defense that puts fear in the opponent

Prey (fight hard and plunder their strategies), pray, and press toward the mark of victory.

Now, my powerful proclamation on Sept. 26:

The horse (Broncos) will NOT ride the Pirate (Raiders); rather, the Pirate will ride the horse.

In other words. we're gonna watch, fight, prey and ride those Broncos and break their spirit, tame them, and send them home.

Got it!
