.. Not by himself. If Schilens, Hey-Bey, or one of the other wideouts step it up.. and they take the four games against the Broncos and Chiefs.. possibly. Still, it would have to be one of those years where a 8-8 or 9-7 team makes the postseason from the AFC (as a wild card), and that has only happened twice in the last decade.

They have a good young QB;

Talented? Sure. Good? Nah, lets see him top 2500 yards, or even 55% completions first. Either you throw long or you throw accurately. Good QBs can do that. Great ones do both. Russell has done neither. Or he could just fumble less than a dozen times this year.
Honestly, until I see a second full season.. I can't say if he's progressing or not. But they sure haven't helped him out with good receivers.
McFadden? Again, talented.. lets see him produce for a full season.

the best bump and run CB in the league.

Aso is one of the best overall corners in the league, even. This one most people can accept. Still, he has lapses that last a full game (Week 1 last year?) which can kill a winning streak.

If Seymour can actually help the run defense they could be good.

This is assuming Seymour even puts on a Raiders uniform. Something they should have expected, given that everyone knew Seymour wanted a new contract, wanted to be a Patriot his whole career. Take away the Patriot portion and.. you have a holdout. Oh, and by the way..

Richard Seymour-DL- Raiders Sep. 10 - 7:25 pm et
The Raiders have reportedly sent a "five-day" letter to Richard Seymour, informing him that he's a candidate for the roster/suspended list.
The five-day letter means Oakland will not attempt to void the trade, so Seymour will either join the Raiders or sit out the season. The Raiders aren't obligated to place Seymour on the roster/suspended list, but the letter warns of the possibility. The ball is now in Seymour's court.
