I don't know how Oakland can stay with Green Bay in this football game.
Go!
Go!
Head hit the turf, concussion protocol I'm guessingJacobs does NOT look fast.
Maybe he got dinged or something?
They gotta give him help.Sharpe is killing us
It's a surprisingly solid football team that plays hard but is boring because it lacks talent.Raiders are very boring but a solid team. Two turnovers in the end zone really warped this outcome.
We have a lot of raw talent and keep in mind we are missing a lot of key players on defense: Ferrell, Abram, Lee, Key and Burfict. Abram looked like a deference maker in that first game. I haven't seen enough of Ferrell to make the same judgement there. Burfict hurts as we were already thin on LB and Lee gone too compounds that.It's a surprisingly solid football team that plays hard but is boring because it lacks talent.
Count me as a new Gruden believer. I thought Gannon carried him the first time around but it seems Gruden can design a damn good O. To move the ball at all with an average QB and bench WRs is a testament to Gruden. I'm not singing Mayock's praises just yet. Let's see how those first round picks turn out in a year or two.I think what I have seen is that A) We need to stop hearing crap from the Gruden haters. He put together a dang good gameplan and called a dang good game with some dang good designed plays. B) I like what I am seeing from Mayock's first draft. I don't know if anyone really doubted his talent evaluation ability but I was excited about him as a GM and I love what I am seeing from that so far. C) We may be a bubble playoff team at this point. Maybe get in, maybe not. It surely will be a wildcard if we do. But we will certainly give teams a good game and be in the fight.
I agree that it is a dumb rule, but considering what happened last year in the Dallas game, for Carr to commit the same blunder is inexcusable. Hard for a team to succeed when your QB is that unaware and clueless.Once again, the dumbest rule in the NFL comes into play.
An offensive turnover into the endzone should be a touchback OR a turnover, but not BOTH.
The NFL should use the same philosophy that it uses on 4th down fumbles: the ball should be removed to the spot of the fumble, with the offense retaining possession of the ball.
Abram looked extremely legit that first game which is unusual for a rookie in the Safety position to do so well. I have no concern about him not being a 1st round worthy player. Jacobs obviously is. Ferrell has looked good but it is going to be hard for him to live up to that overall spot he earned and we won't know unless he is on the field.Count me as a new Gruden believer.

Just a terrible rule .Once again, the dumbest rule in the NFL comes into play.

I think it goes back to the 1st play of the game. Absolutely crushed the safety on a long run but was a violent shoulder to shoulder impact. Guessing that's what it's from, not the play that he actually left on originally. Just a guess.I love watching Jacobs run but his shoulder concerns me. I wonder what is going on there...
Ya, the rule may suck but come on. Same mistake. You're on the goal line and a 6 year vet. You should know how important protecting the football is.I agree that it is a dumb rule, but considering what happened last year in the Dallas game, for Carr to commit the same blunder is inexcusable. Hard for a team to succeed when your QB is that unaware and clueless.
