Tonight’s match up is the Packers hosting Washington.

Rat Jr can coach in the regular season by he can’t win a SB ring.

[RickRyb]

Woof. Add wholey unfunny to your laundry-list of winning personality traits.

SF is the polar opposite of us when it comes to QB. Coaxing and Coaching decent to excellent QB play out of Jones, Purdy, Jimmy G, Garcia, Smith, Kaep. Where as we cause every QB to abandon every last semblance of skill for the position.

Even when we do get a QB with all the necessary tools, he ends up being the biggest coward to ever play in the NFL.

Didn't Darnold have a year in the SF system?

Well he certainly choked the Falcons ring away with an absolutely horrendous series of calls late. I’d still take him in a heartbeat.

He blew it twice against KC and once against the Rams in the NFC title game.

Both teams seem to possess something that I don’t see from the Raiders, and that’s real belief.

49ers are injured as anybody and yet believed a gritty performance could get the job done. Even when the Rams tied it up and the momentum had swung, they didn’t let the wheels come off, and won.

Rams lost the game but when down 20-7 in the 2nd half, you could still see the belief in their eyes and their play calling. They played with urgency and aggression because they believed they could come back, and they did. Stafford and McVay were full throttle and full confidence, even after a rough start. They didn’t look flustered whatsoever.

We just don’t play that way as of now.

[GoodTimeCharlie]

As long has he throws less pricks.

What in the world is this slang for?

[Corleone]

Am I the only thinking Mac Jones could have ran the Raider offense better than Geno..

Not impressed at all with Mac Jones but he certainly looks to be playing better than Geno. There’s quite a few players we could have chosen who were younger, cheaper and wouldn’t have cost draft capital. For the third year in a row we chose the worst possible available QB.

[Hellbound]

That's fine but even with all the injuries to his team they're still performing. And at the very least he has his teams in position to win something that matters. They used to say Andy Reid choked in the big games too
I just fail to see how a Raider fan could openly criticize a hc for choking when this team continually wind 4 games a year

[Raidernation1979]

The key is to throw the ball to your own team. This Raider team would look a lot better and have at least 1 more win had they done that.

I have this thought every day, especially about the draft capital.

Note to my stalker: yes, I still think our draft wasn't optimal, but I still prefer more draft picks over fewer.

Don’t be a pick



Oops


I mean prick

[Corleone]

Smh, rookies.

Shanahan is a top 5 NFL offensive coach. He got to a Super Bowl with a QB that was barely functional as a Raider. The Raiders could have added any of Mac Jones, Danny Dimes, Darnold and they would all look worse under Kelly and this garbage offensive line. If anything AOC has actually functioned better than Garoppolo, Minshew, and Smith which makes me wonder what he would look like on a good team coached by a QB whisperer. Certainly not all pro but probably not far off how Jones looked last night. The Raiders really need to sort out the offensive line and play calling as it’s clear it’s making all quarterbacks the Raiders bring in look worse than they were previously.

So what your trying to say is the Raiders pretty much Suck in all facets of the game of football??? If so I would concur;)
