    Thanks Gcc.

    I have spent the last 3 years or so calling Carr "Shane Falco" because he can play but not when it counts. All those stats but no 3rd down conversions when we absolutely need it, fumbles out of the endzone, zero chain movement in the 3rd qtr (ever) and so many field goals from inside the redzone it makes my head explode. I love the guy but he has left me disappointed when it matters. Personally I was upset when he went down and Marriota took over then Carr returned. I trust Marriota in the red zone and too make a play. Carr needs to step it up. He does this team makes the playoffs in my opinion.

    10-7 is where I have them, too!

    BTW, getting rid of Muse just shows how poorly the Raiders have been drafting.

    2019 Draft
    Ferrell - benched
    Jacobs - starter, beast
    Abram - one of the worst rated defenders in the NFL
    Mullen - starter
    Crosby - steal of the draft?
    Johnson - 0 starts
    Moreau - solid pick, great value
    Renfrow - solid pick, great value
    Bell - 5 career games, none for the Raiders

    2020
    Ruggs - underachieved in year 1
    Arnette - underachieved in year 1
    Bowden - released
    Edwards - caught 11 passes
    Muse - gone?
    Simpson - hard to say; neither a good nor bad pick at this point.
    Robertson - wasn't ready to play in year 1

    Muse was waived to make room for KJ Wright. Still don't dig the Ferrell and Ruggs picks. Our draft selections have been roasted for the above.

    BTW Guenther will prove to be a more than a terrible choice if the above mentioned defenders flourish under Bradley.

    This season is crucial... No more excuses.

    all the teams in our division won today. We def want to start off holding serve. A convincing win would send a message

    Man D Carr and the offense look scared. What the hell is up with the energy early on. No zip on passes, no separation.... Defense looking decent in first series. Offense though.. ugh.

    And For FK sakes... We been force feeding Waller all game with Carr making crappy passes then he is finally wide open and we check down to Jacobs for like 4 yards.

    and we get sacked after the penalty. Punt.

    I'm so disappointed in this display. Defense I like what they are doing so far but damn we aint going nowhere with this offense if we can't pull our heads out.

    well defense gave up another TD but i give more credit to Lamar for being amazing. The D has to be feeling deflated already

    Ugh... DC takes a sack with 10 sec left. Carlson puts us on the board. overall a good drive by the boys. Carr looks better these last 2 series. After the start going in 14-10 is not too bad. Lets see if our 2nd half luck will be different this season

    Great defensive stop to start the half.

    I have to say I am impressed with the defense so far. A less mobile QB we would have a couple sacks. This is a big series for DC and the offense. 3rd qtr has been garbage for us. 10 straight points to end the half. Another 7?

    Waller drops the ball on 2nd down. Then we get called for a PI after picking up the 1st. called back.

    we hold them to a FG thanks to some decent pressure by the D Line and Lamar missing some throws too. Down 7. Stll need to see the offense can get it moving and put 7 on the board in the 3rd

    we get a huge PI call on 3 and 2 for the first. But follow that with a holding call negating Josh Jacobs big run.
