Maybe then some will fade away and not have to face the factsCruisin with Tooz wrote: Mon Oct 26, 2026 3:23 pm Cousins is on a 1-year deal. We arent resigning him no matter what. The only reason to continue playing Cousins is if you think we can make the playoffs. We would presumably need a 10-7 record for that. Where do you see 7 more wins? Ill spot you CLE,TEN, SD, NYJ and ARZ. That makes 8 wins if we were to sweep those 5 games, which is no small feat in and of itself. Best case scenario is that still leaves us needing 2 more wins from DENx2, KC, SF and SEA. Playoffs arent a realistic possibility after the loss to the Rams. Time to face the facts. Facing up aint easy when youre whole world is black.
I would say we aren't beating Cleveland at this point.... or Arizona.Cruisin with Tooz wrote: Mon Oct 26, 2026 3:23 pm Cousins is on a 1-year deal. We arent resigning him no matter what.

100% but as fans it is worthy of discussion/opinion.haji81872 wrote: Mon Oct 26, 2026 8:20 pm Whatever Kubiaks plan was stick to it. Fans wants are irrelevant.
Honestly I think it gets under appreciated what Kirk’s been able to do. He’s leading the league in passing TDs and 3rd in yards. And that’s with maybe the worst receiving core in the league and the 31st ranked ground game. Our offence is 6th in points per game.Rainman56 wrote: Mon Oct 26, 2026 7:17 pm The Raiders have a 63.2% completion percentage overall this season. Against man coverage, that drops to 48.6%, fourth worst in the NFL.
When the box is stacked Cousins ain't getting it done...Start Mendoza for better or worse...He needs reps and we don't need to handle another QB with kid gloves...personally I think they're afraid to possibly create a QB controvercy or maybe they told Cousins he would start all year or most of it barring injury "behind closed doors".
