    missed FG at the half. Offense not doing anything after defense makes big stops. We probably lose this game cause we let the refs decide it.

    I can't blame them for having a let down after that horrible 4th down call. It had to be deflating.

    Great goal line defense. WE only give up 3. Carr has it on his hands

    Pats wouldn’t let that affect them. Raiders are supposed to be at a new level this year., based on last hear’s performance. Mental toughness and competence.

    I hear you but a couple things.. Pats wouldn't have had that call against them and yea they need to be better.

    Doesn't matter Carr fumbles the ball out of the endzone and its TB

    This game was stolen from us and given away by us too.

    Difficult for me to get upset at Carr who tried to get us the win BUT just fumbled it away... Sums up the season, good play then bad play. No consistency. Wasted...

    A double folded index card did us in.

    I’ll just have to root for my new surrogate team, The Rams. I would never have uttered those words before because they remind me of footbal’s version of the clippers. But they are back in L.A. and they look good enough to support this year. This is the best I can do until the Raider organization gets its head back out of its a**, which I thought they did last year, but the bad luck losing has returned. Musgrave must have done something really wrong last season.

    To be fair T-Rod, the wind (going left to right) was knocking the zip out of passes in the game. Same goes for Foles. Kickers were affected too. Raider defense was for the most part stout last night. What is inexcusable are fumbles by Lynch (though a rarity) and Washington (commonplace). The latter was in scoring position too which could have made the Eagle a game tying one as opposed to a win.

    Philadelphia's pass rush was just relentless tonight. Long took Newhouse to school on every passing down. We can't handle their inside rush too. Did not help Carr (skittish enough to begin with) who can't go through his progression of reads.

    Todd Downing according to reports will be fired at season's end. Really stupid cycling through various OC's when we had a good one to begin with in Musgrave. On the other side, I would keep Pagano who has breathed some life into the defense. Bring back Bowman as well but draft an eventual heir for him.

    What remains to be seen is if we can keep Autry and Carrie. Both have been solid this season.

    I’m not pinning it all in Carr. The offensive turned it over a lot. Probably should have been four picks, in addition to those fumbles. Carr’s accuracy has been terrible this season. I can’t think of a good way to describe it except to say he seems hurt or afraid. Happy feet. Bad reads.

    Hoping Downing is gone. Hoping Pagano returns. I’ll give Jack another year.

    Some had said it's all "mental" getting over that leg injury. Doesn't help when your receiving corps led the League in drops. Offensive line hasn't been as consistent either. I still believe that back injury hinder Carr from driving the ball on deep throws.

    I really think that Downing's inability to find the balance of the passing game with power running of Lynch greatly contributed to it. Last season we had the same core with Murray but Musgrave didn't seem to have that problem.

    Lynch has been a godsend.

    I always root for “figure it out.” Would love to see us have a dominating win to end the season.

    Reports that Davis offered Gruden $10 million a year and ownership stake...
