Obviously we should all take the performance with a grain of salt for two reasons. 1 it's preseason and 2 it's the raiders
I disagree. if you're an elite team, you dominate teams you're supposed to. And both sides of the ball dominated. Up until that final Raiders drive, it was 20-0 with our defense only allowing 48 total yards to their first team. All the while we didn't have Galette, Wilson, Lofton, or Prob on the field.
I think next week will be a more true test against the Texans, but man, I haven't been this excited to see our defense continue to grow and develop in awhile. Our D-line has been great to see. There's so much new/second year talent growing into their roles and developing.

I think you agree with me more than you realize. Read the rest of my post, we made essentially the same point.
I will say though, that we might recall a certain game against the 49ers in the preseason of 2011 where our defense looked exactly like it did last night, only to come back down to reality during the regular season.
Not trying to piss in the cheerios, just saying we should be *cautiously* optimistic. If they look the same against the Texans...put the champagne on ice because Lombardi # 2 is on the way.
