nice the defense is putting a lot of pressure on Flaco today according to the announcers during live look-ins. Raider's D holds and Balt has to punt. Offense needs to put more points on the board to put that pressure on the Ravens.
Ravens go on 4th and goal and punch it in but 2point conversion Raiders intercept. We have a game. 14-12 Raiders. Offensive stalling has been my big concern. We need to respond immediately
huge 4th and inches penalty on the Ravens gives Oak a 1st then we get Carr to Crab for a TD. Huge play. 21-12
there we go with blown tackles. Offense needs to score again. We don't want to go down to the wire again. Big time for offense right now.
WTF.... Just cut back and we turned the ball over? That is what I been yelling about late game stupidity.
Now they're terrible on all facets - atrocious defense, no run game, can't complete downfield passes.
Its been the MO this season. We have made some big plays to win some games but this is still shooting ourselves in the foot. I trust Carr can get the score though.
Carr walking down he field... Nice. But he gets Walford upended. Bad Throw right there. Walford is hurting.
Game 4 snap counts: - if there is a better punter in The League than King I don't know who that is. - Amerson did not wrap up Smith on that TD. - Washington fumble nearly cost them the game but I like him returning kicks. - Carr was calm and cool on that drive. Besides Rodgers, he is one QB who can hit receivers on the move. Oozing so much confidence... - James and Joseph...two new studs on D. - had Joseph not slightly tipped that hurried Flacco pass, Nelson would have picked it off to end the game and the Raven's last chance. - the secondary is coming along nicely and I'm beginning to even like Hayden. - Crabtree is the best #2 receiver in The League. - I thought Crabtree was going to get another unsportsmanlike conduct when he tossed the ball in the air after his 3rd TD. - I thought we scored too fast but the defense came up solid. - Chargers lost. Happy for Brees. Chiefs getting spanked so they're done. - Broncos lost Siemian today... - I still get the vibe that this crew plays better on the road than at home.
Chargers and Chiefs at The O on consecutive home games. Then the Sunshine State two-step with Tampa and Jacksonville. Can we go 4-0 during this span before our Sunday Night Football date at home with Denver? Yes, the "one game at a time" mantra but taking a peek for this second quarter schedule on paper the possibilities are there.
Oakland's defense takes some further baby steps forward. They're surrendering 134.5 yards on the ground and 325.5 yards through the air, for 460. that's not good, y'all, but it's a far cry from the 517.5 they were surrendering through two games. And after allowing an average of 34.5 points per game through two, they allowed a total of 37 in their last two - to move to 26.5 PPG allowed.
