Hope so... NFL goes up a notch in my book when the Raiders are relevant... Gruden has this org turned around it seems...I get the feeling there might be a round 3 to this matchup this year.

He got shit on for the Khalil Mack schtick, but that was always pretty clearly the correct move and it's paying dividends right now.Hope so... NFL goes up a notch in my book when the Raiders are relevant... Gruden has this org turned around it seems...
Yeah he received a lot of push back and criticism on a few of those trades he made two years ago but he definitely has his guys and they're turning the corner...He got shit on for the Khalil Mack schtick, but that was always pretty clearly the correct move and it's paying dividends right now.

Carr stepping up is absolutely the big difference with the team imo. Honestly not ridiculously impressed with the moves they've made the past few seasons but they've done enough to give Carr a chance.I give Carr a lot of that credit too. We give coaches way to much credit, but an elite or very good QB makes the difference imo
I thought it was the same with Carr. Carr made quite a few plays out of very little.I really do feel this was a game Mahomes put the team on his back. He had to move the ball the hard way for the most part and had to make some crazy throws to just stay on schedule.
Carr has really stepped up and played fantastic for sure but I think in this case, maybe Gruden does deserve a lot of credit. Not arm talent or x's and O's so much as giving Derek confidence and getting his head in the right space. Bad coaching really almost ruined Carr for a spell there, imo.I give Carr a lot of that credit too. We give coaches way to much credit, but an elite or very good QB makes the difference imo
