Carr F'd up by clocking the ball on third down in the first half, forcing a 57-yard FG. Tossed horrendous pick on first and goal. That's 10 points off the board. This team can't afford to give up those points.
Seattle isn't a particularly good team, but neither are the Raiders. Allegedly a home game for Oakland, this one should be a good game. It's just that the line is Seattle by 3 or 3.5. I see them winning by 6, 28-22. I was wrong last week (in a bad way for Oakland fans), so let's hope I'm wrong again. Let's win, baby.
I really don't get it...it's not like we're the 1976 Tampa Bay team. I don't know if I can follow them once they move to Vegas.
I was upset about Mack. Loved the guy. Cooper has been a disappointment with all the drops and lack of focus. I actually was more upset we let Crabtree go over this. 1st round pick? Yea I'll take it.
A tremendous talent and a completely unagressive and soft dude. I hope he gets it together and wants to come back and join the silver and black.
Crabtree was Carr's security blanket in the red zone... Cooper was not and Nelson can't separate himself from corners anymore. Full rebuild mode now.
Raiders are +3. I've got the final score 27-23.5, Indianapolis. So I'd go with the Colts on this one if I were a betting man. Instead, I'll root for Oakland. But here's a sad stat: Lynch and Cooper scored 14 of 36 Oakland TDs last season, including 9 of their last 15. Then they scored 4 of the Raiders' first 7 TDs this season (meaning they had 9 of 22 from the end of last season to the start of this season), but the last TD by either was a month ago - on September 30th. Who steps up? Cook? Bryant? Richard? Roberts?
Let's recap that first quarter. One possession. Three plays. Eight yards. Ten points in the hole. f***ing terrible.
Doug Martin looked good - but awful fumble. Defense can't get pressure, can't cover TEs. We got issues, but they can be fixed. I mean, not this season, but we have those three first rounders...
