Perfection of a game from Derek Carr. Let's not forget cd, the Broncos have a good defense do they not? And even then Carr threw the PERFECT ball to ice the game, but he can't throw it and catch it. Bottom line you won the the game. Or should i say you stole the game. We all know it man. It happens. We got a rematch and no doubt we win that game.Ummm let's not try to rewrite history to pump a kid up more than what he really was. Oakland was a wildcard team that was going to have to go on the road, win 3 games straight in the AFC, and then compete in the Super Bowl. So to say he stood a chance of winning the Super Bowl or even making the Super Bowl that year is stretching things not just a little but a lot.
As for the 29-32 what did that get you guys? 19 points. The Raiders averaging 19 points per game would make them a bottom-10 offense. So are you really wanting to brag about that? Right now the Raiders after 2 games are 28th in the league in points per game. So again are you really going to brag about the game that Carr just had. The Broncos' head coach after the game said that the coaching staff gave Carr and the offense too much credit and should have been more aggressive. He said they thought they would be better and found out quickly they were not.
As for the one bad year...Again look back at my stats to show that Carr has been no better in his career than Case Keenum up to this point. The reality is that he has had 1 great year, 1 good year, and two bad years since coming into the NFL. So far this year through two games I would say he is on pace to add to that bad year total.
And as for Foles winning a Super Bowl. He also had a top-5 defense, top-3 run game, and quite a few weapons. The Raiders have none of that right now.
But for now it's the Ravens for you guys and the Fins for us.
