Monday Night Football: LA Rams @ Raiders

[CaptainStubing]

One entire season plus last night

That's what I'm judging Carr on

he was pretty bad his first couple of seasons but has turned into an 'ok' starting QB ... he's definitely not a top 10 QB (which i think many perceive him to be) but he's in the Mariota/Goff/Dalton area where he can do decently if there is talent around him.

Umm? Rams are loaded. Lol

Raiders looked good in the first half
Rams showed up in the 2nd half

Raiders are going 6-10 this year

Mariota is another one everyone needs to realize isn't very good. Including Goff in that group is just plain disrespectful.

eh, after a horrid rookie campaign, Goff had an efficient Alex Smith-esque sophomore season but I'm not ready to crown him anything more than a competent NFL QB at this point. He may prove me wrong if he takes some big strides the next couple of seasons but that has yet to be seen.

Not a tough schedule at all the first 10 games. Could go 5-5 no problem

Man I’d love to see what Mariota could do with a guy like McVay. Good still scares me at times. He’s got a lot to prove this year but I do like the kid

I stand by it, 6 wins
Or maybe 7 for a 1 game improvement over last year. Without Mack.

you are more optimistic about the raiders than i am ... i'm not sure they get to 6 wins. i think they will finish last in the AFCW

I would challenge them with a ton of press man in the 2nd half to let your inside pass rush get a chance. They are winning their battles just not being given the time to get home.

The Rams made 2nd half adjustments and slowed them down.

Yup they moved up closer to the LOS and dared the Raiders to go over the top. Carr couldn't do it. Panicked.

The premiere playmaker unsurprisingly made a pick 6.

Aqib Talib says Rams defense had to 'freestyle' against Jon Gruden

“We kind of freestyled coming out. We didn’t know how Gruden was going to attack us on defense. Our coaches did a great job adjusting and we were able to hold them to zero points in the second half and our offense got going and, big win for us,” Talib said on NFL Total Access.

“I think it was just that freestyle. We really didn’t know what to expect, speaking for the defense. We didn’t know how they would attack us. So we had to see how they would attack us and adjust and Coach Wade [Phillips] did a great job,” Talib said. “They repeated a lot of plays in the second half and we were ready for them.”

That truck belongs to Mark Davis, right.

Outside of the hideous logo, that's a good looking ride.
