Around the Coliseum parking lots, you'll feel lots of character – the character of Raider Nation. Here's a look at several of the "cities" within the Raider Nation of tailgating.
The injury report for the San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams is missing any big names. Coming off their bye, both teams are relatively healthy despite the various names on both teams report.
Without running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson, the Raiders offense will be pass heavy. Also without Richard Seymour and Shawntae Spencer, the Raiders are limited on defense. Will the healthy players be able to fill their big shoes?
The Indianapolis Colts beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-10 Thursday night, as last year's worst-record team improved to 6-3. "You didn't expect them to jump back into the fray this quickly," John Madden told the KCBS morning crew. "They're starting to look like a playoff team."
The Oakland Raiders face a tall task in taking on the 6-2 Ravens in Baltimore Sunday. "Baltimore is a good team, and they're kind of one of those teams that out here we don't see a lot or hear a lot about them," John Madden told the KCBS morning crew Friday, noting the Ravens have won 19 of their last 20 home games.
So far this year the St. Louis Rams are undefeated within the division, and they will look to keep this streak alive against the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams will need to play as a team and hope that San Francisco makes some mistakes to keep this game close.
The Baltimore Ravens are 4-0 at home and in second place in the AFC North. The Oakland Raiders are looking for only their second road win of the season but quarterback Carson Palmer is 9-4 in his career vs. the Ravens.
Put on a twist on your tailgate menu this weekend. These alternative "sliders" will not only be super delicious snacks for the vegetarian, but will have the die-hard carnivores clamoring for their share, too.
Taiwan Jones has not seen much action in his brief NFL career. In 2011 he came into the league with much promise.

The limited action was because the Raiders had Darren McFadden and Michael Bush on their team as the top options.
A nine year old Salt Lake City girl is getting national attention for her dominant play in a pee wee tackle football league. John Madden told the KCBS morning crew that elementary and middle school kids of either gender shouldn't play tackle football.
Without running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson cleared to practice, who will run the ball on Sunday at Baltimore? Carson Palmer threw the ball a career-high 61 times last Sunday, and he could break this personal record if the Raiders inept run game can't get going.
With top two running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson slowed this week by sprained right ankles, the Raiders may need to rely on their passing game when they visit the Baltimore Ravens.
First year NFL quarterbacks like Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III are playing well as starters this season.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was back in the news recently. The rumor that he was assaulted doesn't appear to be true, but the bottom line is that he continues to be involved in off-field incidents. He will need to mature quickly off the field to become an elite player on the field.
The Oakland Raiders had one of their worst games this past Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With both star running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson suffering high ankle sprains, and with their lack of defense, how do the Raiders have any hope of beating the Ravens in Baltimore this Sunday?

In their fourth straight loss, the Philadelphia Eagles fell to the New Orleans Saints 28-13 Monday night. Eagles quarterback Michael Vick continued to struggle, throwing an early interception that led to a 99 yard Saints touchdown.
Mike Goodson, in his first year for the Oakland Raiders, serves as the team's kick returner and backup running back. Originally drafted by the Carolina Panthers in 2009, he now serves as a backup to Oakland running back Darren McFadden.
Since drafting him with the 7th overall pick in the 2011 draft, Aldon Smith has been a playmaker. He set all kinds of team records last year, and he is on pace this year to put up the same numbers. As his coaches realize that he can do more then just rush the passer, they have tried to find ways to keep him on the field. Give Smith a few years and the sky is the limit for the young outside linebacker.

Sunday, the Oakland Raiders failed to win three in a row for the first time this season. Facing an upstart Tampa Bay Buccaneers team, their first-round draft pick Doug Martin had a career game against the Raiders in his homecoming to the Bay Area.
For the 49ers to win in in the second half of the season and move forward in the playoffs, it will all come down to the play of Alex Smith. They will get consistent performances from the defense and special teams, so if the offense can do their part, then San Francisco is going to be tough to beat. The running game has been solid this year, and when the team loses it's because they got nothing from Smith and the passing game.
