This is a season in Oakland defined by the Raiders' Super Bowl aspirations. The addition of veterans like Marshawn Lynch and the top-dollar money thrown at the team's high-profile offensive line are all signs of a club that saw themselves on the brink just a year ago. Without Carr, the combination of Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper is nowhere near as potent. Lynch can be effective against an eight-man box anticipating the run, but was shut down on Sunday against an excellent Broncos defense.
