Clinched a playoff spot, a lions loss, and a clear path to the number 1 seed!?! Happy Monday!

 

Hope that people realize how good of a coach that you have.  Turns out that Cousins might not have been all of that and KOC is the juice.

Well, as an in recovery Oakland/LA/Oakland/Vegas RAIDERS fan I have to admit that I’m looking forward to the game tonight. I am thankfully at the point that it’s more of a general interest and I don’t get emotionally invested like I use to. Which is good, because they are atrocious!! 
… But they have a nice stadium 😊

 

😂

we go to Vegas every year for the opening week of the NFL (for fantasy football draft) one of these years i need to go to a Raiders game.

[PaGolfer2]

Detroit had such a great 1-2 punch with Montgomery and Gibbs.  now that Montgomery is out for the year, i'm curious to see how Gibbs does handling the majority of the carries.

Sounds like they’re taking him out after the first quarter in those games then? 😂

 

Be just like the Jets to take out the Bills. 

 

That would be better than if they won the Super Bowl!! 🤣

Stadium is incredible. Biggest issue I have is every game I’ve attended (and appears to be the same when I watch on TV) is half the opposing teams fans. Absolutely zero home field advantage there. Sucks 👎🏼

Yeah, i can definitely see that....if i ever went i would time it with a cowboys game.

[PaGolfer2]

did the bears just punt down 21 with 8 mins left in the 4th?  WOW, talk about not trying to win.

[TiScape]

That roughing the passer penalty on Spillane is an absolute joke

I get that! 

Raiders actually had 2 shots at the end zone to win it. No dice though. 
Falcons are fortunate they played the Raiders. Any half way competent team woulda beat em. Cousins just looks off.

i think he's still trying to come back from the injury last year and adding Penix (spelling), in the draft, did not help

He’s an excellent coach and the best decision the Vikings front office has made in the last 10 years along with drafting Jefferson. 

[Mr.Cleeks]

The bears are a mess. Caleb had some bad throws but it’s not all on him. That entire team is just bad. Going 1-12 on 3rd down is horrible. Chicago is where careers go to die

[PaGolfer2]

the Atlanta coach criticizing Cousins, no he has not played well recently but is a proven starter and winner in this league, but a qb like Richardson, who is actually under 50% completion percentage, still has a starting job and people love him.  Is this going to be another Russel Wilson debacle?

[PaGolfer2]

and Cousin's gets benched, WOW!  that is a lot of money they are going to lose

[jda]

Cousins reminded me of when Commies (or whatever they were back then) gave Alex Smith a huge deal and expected him to be the same with Andy Reid.

 

Cousins is fine, but it was easy to see that KOC was some of the success.

 

Do people love Richardson?  Am in in Denver, so not plugged in locally, but most of the stuff that I have heard is that he needs to stay healthy so that they can see what he has got.  He could turn out OK, but I hope that nobody loves him now.

I think ppl love what Richardson could become.

Hey @Double Mocha Man Penix will be getting the start against the Giants! Looking forward to seeing him out there.

Richardson was an avg college qb that got drafted way too high, now the team is forced to keep throwing him out there or people get fired.  how is he a starting qb when he can't read a defense and is not over 50% completion percentage?  he makes a couple of plays with his feet each game and then throws an int.  absolutely crazy

 

Cousin's getting benched sucks....i've always like him.

[bscinstnct]

Guess who holds the single season passing yards record for the Jets. 

[jda]

Heard that Charlotte and Chicago enforcing local blackout for not selling out.  Wow!  Have not heard of that in a while.  It used to be that the local TV station would buy up the extra tickets... this was like 1990s type of stuff.

I’d prefer to think of that pic as opposed to him drunk trying to kiss that sideline reporter! Ugh 🫣

In regard to Richardson. In a way reminds me of JaMarcus Russell. Big impressive athletic specimens that don’t have the aptitude to read defenses. Also JaMarcus didn’t have the drive. We shall see if Richardson does. The ‘take me out I’m tired move’ says so far he doesn’t.

When I was a RAIDERS fan I’d wish there was a way both teams could lose. Not a fan of either team so will go with California over Colorado! Plus the stadium is a gem.
 Go Chargers  ⚡️ 

[PaGolfer2]

Good game but I dont either of these teams can make a deep run.
