On a day when the Bengals finally won and the Lions looked fiesty for a change, we can at least rest assured that the Raiders are still absolutely awful.

It's hard to imagine a worse first half than the one the Raiders put up against the Falcons today. Not only did Atlanta score 24 first-half points by scoring on all but one of their five first-half possessions, but the Raiders offense was absolutely inept.
