#Falcons RB Todd Gurley (knee) is out for Sunday against the #Raiders. WR Julio Jones (hamstring) is questionable.

Atlanta Rushing attack numbers this year...

Todd Gurley - 167 attempts, 610 yards, 3.7 avg, 9TDs, 1 Fumble.
Brian Hill - 60 attempts, 261 yards, 4.3 avg., 1 TD, 1 Fumble.

Julio Jones would obviously be another huge loss if he can't go on Sunday.

It's starting to look like there might be a 10 win team that fails to make the postseason in the AFC. Can't afford any stumbles now.

6 games left is an eternity. Many things can happen. We proved that last year.

Our rush defense will improve as the season goes by. We're 12th in the league now. After this Sunday we will definitely move up in the team stat standings for rush defense.

For various reasons, this year feels more like a "good" 6-4. Whereas last year it felt like we were a bit smoke and mirrors.

I don't expect the big collapse like last year barring key injuries. But 3-3 the rest of the way won't get us in. Even 4-2 might not, depending on which 2 games we drop. 5-1 or better is almost a necessity to guarantee a spot.

Problem is when you play teams that are out of it, they tend to throw caution to the wind by taking chances and doing things they don't normally do. Couple that with a bad break or an untimely turnover, that could change the outcome. I want the Colts and Miami games for sure.

Saw a stat somewhere indicating that the Raiders average 10 points in margin of victory win they win, while giving up an average margin loss of 13 points when we lose. Obviously, you can paint any picture with stats, but when people keep saying that we have a cake walk schedule this year, I somehow expected those numbers to be switched. What does that really say about this team so far?

Who said the Raiders had a cakewalk schedule this year? It says absolutely nothing about this team so far. That 13 point margin is skewed by a 25 point loss to the bucs where they were out scored by 21 in the 4th after loosing the entire offensive line for a week of practice.

Early east coast games have always been a challenge for the Raiders. I am hoping the move east to Vegas helps-lol

Be pretty cool to go into December 7-4.

Here's what I know ... in games against legit contenders (NO, TB, KC twice) we've more than held our own.

Last year we also sat at 6-4 somehow, but we got our ***** kicked in multiple games against good teams to get there. How many "good" wins did we have out of the 6?

Julio Jones is out today. That’ll make a big difference
