Been liking what I've seen from Gurley tonight. Especially that last play, where he made something out of nothing.

 

[Vitamike]

Damn, we got lucky there.

Jared needs to be more careful with the ball.

Goff is making some very stupid decisions...with the football this close to the endzone..he had daylight for the score..

 

[Smed55]

Looks like our Oline is at least giving Goff time to throw, unfortunately our receivers aren't getting open?

 

[Vitamike]

Glad it's tied up, still disappointed we couldn't punch it in.

Goff with time, scares me. I like when he gets the ball out quickly.

 

[SJ76]

Little rusty.

Looked like he had a lot of room to run if he had wanted it. I wouldn't have had a problem with it as long as he secured the ball.

Dude I was just going to say Goff scares me, but I didn’t want you yelling at me.

Run the ball

 

[Smed55]

well hopefully we change up the stats in the second half. Time off possession is about 22 to 8 minutes, that's not good! Jared Cook pretty much has 100 yards receiving in the first half! Carr on pace for 300- 400 yards passing!
We have 100 yards of offense, 100 flipping yards, ya weve had big chunks on def pass interference> Oakland has 10 penalties for 150 yards. you can say we are lucky to be tied at this moment?

 

[Rambunctious]

We got a barn burner of a fight.

 

[SJ76]

Jared Cook needs to wake up from the dream he’s in

 

[Rambunctious]

on the road down by 3 at the half, i'll take that.

 

[Smed55]

of course we have only 2 penalties all game, then he misses FG, but we commit our 3rd, and of course allows him another chance that he makes!

Chucky putting on a clinic coaching. Team looks ready to play. Controlling the ball, playing physical, running Alstott, keeping our Offense off the field

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Definitely lucky that we're only down three at the half. The Raiders are committing a lot of penalties but unfortunately, we haven't done much to stop them. We should've forced them to punt when they had 3rd and long around midfield and Christian couldn't bring down Cook, which extended the drive.
The offense hasn't really impressed me much thus far. The line has been fine and Gurley looks as good as ever. Goff looks completely erratic. Looks like he needed more work with the offense during the preseason instead of sitting all four games.

 

[Jermaine133]

like i said before....the offense is not in sync because the coaching staff was too scared to play the starters in an preseason game...so you got cooks who never caught passes from Goff outside of practice try and make it work in a game situation.. I'm not the coach but i think it's very stupid. WE are not guaranteed to make the superbowl so why not get the kinks out early. Just mind boggling to me, outside of the JJ's pick this could easily be 17-7 because clearly none of the LB's are visible.

Rams owned the 3rd quarter last season, lets hope they will tonight.

 

[SJ76]

Somebody please go punk Jared Cook
