The playoff drought is over and the Commitment to Excellence is back. Dream scenarios are playing out left and right with this team. The only upsetting part is that the Raiders put their fans through at least one heart attack, per person, per week.

They have not just put a team away early and held the league all game. The defense bends but does not break early, then they bend and break and eventually they don't bend or break. It is a roller coaster of emotions and take the sickening ride every week.

If the playoffs started today the Raiders would be the #2 seed with a first round bye. To stay in that position I think they will have to win out over their final two games against the Colts and Broncos. They can win both games and they need to because I think the Chiefs will win their final two games. If you end up in a tie the tie breaker goes to the Chiefs for beating Oakland twice this season.

It's all too much to put up with but I will be there for the ride and hopefully I survive to see them hoist the Lombardi trophy. Just win baby.
