  1. The (perhaps encouraging) thing is, we’ve seen JA17 take the short stuff and pick apart defenses before, so (it may be a comfort to see that) he has done it before and with regularity. 
     

    For example, last year’s opener, the first game of JA17’s with OC Ken Dorsey:

    It’s just such a head scratcher why he last year was and still is now is failing to see wide open guys in the middle of the field also with regularity. I know concussion(s) is/are speculated. Perhaps he got used to the UCL injury play style. Personal life issues. DCs baiting him into misreading protection and coverage. Some combination of those. Not going to pretend like I know. 
     

    But I imagine he is very frustrated right now and hope he can channel that into picking apart the Raiders. If by 4-5 yards at a time, then so be it.

    In retrospect am glad I dropped Penny for Kelley for emergency if Ekeler doesn't play this week. 


    Yeah after last night it seems a safe bet that Hurts, Swift, and Gainwell will own that backfield.


    Maybe Scott (and especially against the Giants) but he got concussed.
     

    Unfortunately for Penny, his most notable contribution was his holding call that took back Brown’s TD catch.

    That's not all, if you order within the next 48 hours, we will send you not 1 but 2 Jonathan Taylors, just pay separate handling fees. And wait, there is more we will slash your first payment, that's right you get 2 Jonathan Taylors for only 15 easy payments of 750k.


    From reports it seems the Ravens may be placing said order. But likely for only one Jonathan Taylor.

  4. If apportioning fault, then:

    70% to JA17

    - bailing from pockets, failing to see wide open pass catchers, forcing throws, sugar rush hero ball, 4 easily avoided turnovers, and just sloppy “disfocused” play

    20% to Dorsey

    - his calls had people open often, but no offensive identity, throwing on 3rd&2, draw play on 2nd&15, 41 passes against a top pass defense despite not being down most of the game, of course no or very few screens, hardly any plays where a first read is wide open because of play design, and clearly not coaching JA17 effectively enough on taking what is there

    9% to McDermott

    - his defense had a good point total but can’t stop running backs, poor angles and tackling, team lack of focus and low energy, and although we did not deserve to win the game at this point anyways I am placing the OT ST TD mostly on him because the head coach who went through 13 seconds should know better than to allow a punt to land in bounds there

    1% to Smiley

    - you, me, and Sam Martin’s family know why

     

     

    All that said, ironically enough the best advice right now is from Aaron Rodgers: R-E-L-A-X. Think the very similar Week 1 Steelers loss and how that season played out. Better to get a wake up call this early. KC, CIN, LAC, and NE all lost and NJ lost Rodgers. Falling the sky is not. 

     

     

    Know what was lovely? The game winning OT ST TD not only sealed the Bills’ loss, it capped off my fantasy opponent’s 40 point comeback win after I started MNF projected 90% to win.
