Cousins is 12-4 this season.

Dak is 8-3 this season.

Yer by Carr is 6-9 (and got benched).


Carr shouldn't be mentioned with those other two QB's.

Homer on! Remember last season when you said Carr is Stafford (just minus any playoff wins)? Pepperidge Farms remembers. You also claimed earlier this season that all the Raiders issues are Josh McD.

11 legs for 6k

Great start to 2023!

You can LOL all you want, but it is the truth.

They won some close games last year and lost them this year. Tends to even out.

In fact, last year they were 10-7 with a -65 point differential. This year 6-10 with -5.

So yeah, they tremendously overachieved last year. Teams with point differentials that far negative don’t tend to win 10 games.

They won because their coaching was better....Biasaccia did a good job as did their OC and DC....

THIS season the HC, OC, and DC we're all downgrades. Graham was horrible with the Giants and continued that here.

Holy shit....how much did you bet to get that?

Couldn’t have been much, 11 teamer pays like 1200 to 1 if they were all standard bets.

Apparently the Redskins were unaware of the possibility that they could have been eliminated yesterday.

Idiots

Last season the Gruden fiasco.

Ruggs.....

Arnette....

What was the common denominator on the Raiders getting to the playoffs when they could have mailed it in with all the BS going on?

Yeah, Derek Carr showed he was a leader and led them to the postseason despite insurmountable odds.

A year later and people think he's trash and deserves all the blame for this shitshow.....despite a less than stellar defense and a new HC who has shown he doesn't deserve a 2nd chance.

Can’t we just agree everyone plays a part. The HC and QB suck. The FO hasn’t done a great job with their top picks

That’s how it works sometimes.

Minnesota is 12-4 and -14
Cleveland is 7-9 and -6

Cleveland could not win close games, really the last two years. That is one of the most important things you have to do in this league. We can point to Minny being suspect in the playoffs, which is fair, but they won close games

Not real excited about any of these games today, Bills and Bengals tonight is big though.

 

[dtgold88]

Ridiculous decision.

Even more ridiculous to not bring Heinicke in.

Entire 2nd half was wondering the same (early, too). Guessing got the usual coach speak when Rivera was asked why he started him and refused to switch?

Hoping the Bills/Bengals game is a good one.

As far as the bowl games. Gonna check 'em all out.

USC and Tulane has a chance to be decent I guess, should be lots of points

Interestingly though….

Carr has a better point differential than Cousins.

I would take Cousins too. But truth be told they are very similar players.

They both have their moments where they look really good, and then they have stretches where they look like a high school QB playing his first NFL game.

Cousins was awful yesterday, that Packers defense isn’t very good

I like Rivera.

I don’t think he is anything special as a coach overall, but his main job was to change the culture in Washington.

He has done that.

They just need a QB and couple other upgrades and they can be a good team. I would take Carr gladly if the price is reasonable.

Easier said than done of course.

I'll be honest. I like fucking with deeeej because of all the stupid Raiders nut-hugging he's done over the years. And he's taken many shots at my team while ignoring his team's problems.

Hoping the Rose Bowl will be a good one.

I think overall he's at least a decent HC.....my question was simply to make the point all coaches say the same thing in interviews and give us little (which is fine).

Maybe it was.

But if their coaching was that much better, they would have had a point differential that jived with their record.

You can say that losing some of the close games this year is on a couple coaching decisions if you want, but again, their record is about where it should be over the last 2 years.
