I agree QBs are given up on far too quickly. Also that a QB who plays like ass for one team can potentially look much better elsewhere. Potentially…
Oh right, Newton. I was thinking Heyward and that this was a radical new approach.
Even in 1988...?
My prediction this season is that we will start 1-1.
I guess the question is: if he had gone for it, and failed, would people be after Tomlin's head for leaving the Raiders pretty much in FG...
Yep. At the same time, they wanted a more aggressive o-line and Turner was meant to be key to that. So perhaps not too surprising.
I'm saying no. This season is shaping up to be fairly changeable across the NFL. I expect surprise wins and losses every week. On a side note,...
Great write up as always B&G. Agree in particular that we need the intermediate passing game (said this in another thread). Also on the...
To be fair, when I clicked on the thread I was expecting the OP to say "IT TAKES SEVENTEEN YEARS TO RECOVER" So I found his diagnosis more...
Like Kreighoff said, our bread and butter used to be quick slants and crossing routes. We had shifty players who can make guys miss so you...
I've been on the "Ben should retire" bus for a while, but I'm not pinning all the blame on him for yesterday. There was a classic old school Ben...
I suspect we are in for a season of close games….
Yep, very bad call. Suggests a problematic lack of confidence with the o-line.
Well, I called it… what do I win?
Odds on the Steelers scoring a TD, then Raiders marching down and scoring another just to destroy my blood pressure once and for all?
My thoughts exactly.
Ah, Claypool caught something. Refreshing.
The offense would probably still suck. The Raiders are targeting Pierre and Spillane is not Bush. I'd say the injuries on D are a factor so far.
I reckon for that reason you get rid of holding as a penalty. But to even things up the D are allowed to bring weapons.
Tbf it looks like the pocket wasn’t holding up great. At the same time he missed single coverage on DJ and threw into a group of Bills… let’s hope...
