The Oakland Raiders have such wild swings between their peeks and valleys.

After Week 1 and the domination of the Denver Broncos, I was ready to buy into a team that pulled together after the Antonio Brown nonsense and was built on efficient QB play and a solid running game.

Then after that they dropped two in a row to good teams and I figured that the first win was more of an indictment on the Broncos than something noteworthy for the Raiders.

That brings us to the Indianapolis Colts game where they seemed to fluster the Colts, instantly getting ahead by double digits and never relinquishing the lead.

Who are the Raiders and what do they think is their identity? I want to see more from them and see if they need another team to collapse or if they can stick with a team for a full game and then win a close one in the end.

Having said that, right now I am cautiously optimistic about the way that the Raiders are going and after another big offseason they could be really dangerous.
