Sojourner

Oh i won’t dispute why they hired Carrol, just that Raiders team wasn’t good what he inherited and latching on to Geno instead of waiting it out, keeping your picks and trying to have a potential rebuild of the program 2 or 3 years down the line seems smarter than what he decided. That to me would be about becoming serious. Not putting your eggs in the basket of a guy drafted 13 years ago who’s only had 2 decent and 1 average year. All of which were year 10 onward. There was no way Geno and a rookie RB were turning that program around.

The fact that he’s not on the talk of a hot seat like some other first year coaches is maddening. I know he has a Super Bowl on his resume but he hand picked Geno, traded a relatively high pick for him and it’s not even averagely reasonable play they’ve received.

Thought he was great covering Egbuka. Especially seeing as that guy has dominated plenty games this year. Sometimes not noticing a guy, especially in the secondary at the CB level is, as we know, a good thing

These last 5 games Bishop has had have been great. Nice to see the consistency. That was about the only thing I ever doubted. Talented kid and looks like the light is finally on.

You’re right but they still put up 488 total yards on offense from 11 drives to San Fran’s 281 from 12... 2 bad throws that turned into INTs chasing the game, one trying to score at the end of the half and the other a late throw when he was scrambling to his right. Cardinals defense was abysmal. Not saying they would have won if it were better but the 9ers did whatever they wanted for most, if not all of the game. Texans defense is legit. Steelers defense has shown the capability to be top tier. Patriots still look competent even though they’ve tapered off from the first half of the year. Browns, nothing needs to be said. Eagles defense hitting their stride. Shut down an elite offense. That leaves the Jets who have been hit or miss and the Bengals who have been putrid. A backup on any of those 5 teams listed shouldn’t be classed as a cakewalk. I heard the Saints, Patriots, Falcons and Dolphins were going to be wins. Borderline sure things. We lost 3 of them and someone found our way to close out the Saints game. It’s a team effort. To boot, those same 5 teams have shown a very successful capability of running the ball for most or portions of the season.

Why, what happened? Missed the game until the failed fake punt.

Not sleeping on any backup. Not after Jacoby Brissett set an NFL record for completions in a game today lol

Darkness Retreat Part Deux incoming!!!!

What a punt. Wowww

That fumble on the punt return was criminal for a guy with experience in the league. You cannot have both opponents gunners coming at you freely and expect to make a play. Kudos to him on the huge return earlier though.

The personnel changes definitely made a difference but I feel the whole script was to win via the pass rather than weeks prior where we were contingent on running the ball. Good game all around. Nice to see the guys freshly given more or their first playing time step it up.

I like Groot, so don’t get me wrong when I say he needs to be better. Consistency is the issue with him. Most of his career it’s been chunk production in handfuls of games. Last year I thought he was solid throughout, this year seems to be on par with 2023. Dominant is however, not a word I would associate with him. Flashes of it maybe. Dominant is Myles Garrett, Aiden Hutchinson, Nick Bosa and Maxx Crosby in the league today. Quality edge player, sure.

Great point. Hes got 6 out of 8 first rounders somewhat right if you include the promise of Hairston. (Keon was a first round pick.. 33) Day 2 picks? Harrison Phillips, AJE, Spencer Brown, James Cook, Bernard, Torrence, Dorian Williams, Cole Bishop, Knox and Devin Singletary makes 10 out of 17 guys who have either produced decent seasons or are quality starters for us. Technically 15 cause the jury is still out on Sanders and Jackson from this past draft. Im on the side of the fence that the drafting isn’t as bad as we want to believe. It’s just like you alluded to in the second paragraph… the busts we have had were of positions we were dependent on when they were drafted or shortly after.

Do they know you’re sectionC3?!? Change their name! Are they front office?? Just an employee who overheard?!? We need to know man!!!! Burn it downnnn!!!

Definitley sucks. For both the Bills and Coleman. Even then, around the time we were picking the only guy looking worth his salt in the league is Ladd. What could have been?! If it wasn’t Ladd the other options of Worthy, Pearsall, Legette and Polk aren’t exactly that much better than Keon.
