***UNOFFICIAL OFFICIAL WEEK 10 GAMEDAY THREAD @ RAIDERS

[El_Tee]

Rivers didn't have his best game by far.

but with 3 min left the chargers had a 4 pt lead and alowed a 70 ish yard drive for a td.

blame Rivers for his errors, but the game was there for the taking, short week, on the road.

There's your football take.

Fair, but he’s not blameless.

[DontEverGiveUp]

He wouldn’t have gone 0/7

Dumb argument. You have no way of knowing that, especially when Brady has a top ten O-line every year. And oh yeah, the best coach in the history of the league.

[Halonoonan]

One was on the trip by Henry I Believe so I didn't bring it up.

Ok so take away the penalties and that one and he threw 4 threw 4 interceptions

[Velo]

You are forgetting one major fact. We always have a terrible O-line. Brady always has a top ten O-line. Rivers is throwing the ball way too early because there is no time, and that means nobody is open yet.

Don't know why people can't understand this. No team has ever won a SB with a bottom 3 O-line, and that's what we have every year.

I'm not a Rivers homer, but I totally agree with you about Rivers not having a good OL for most of his career. Things could have been a lot different. Tonight's game would have been different with decent protection. I think he gets panicky quickly ... It's like PTSD caused by having no faith in his OL. I think he was totally spooked by having Scott start at RT, then Pipkin replaces Okung and it becomes worse. It's another HOF career wasted, and it ultimately falls on ownership.

[captaind]

Do you honestly think Brady could have taken the team, with that offensive line, down the field with 58 seconds left?

Yes

[Midwestbolt]

Fair, but he’s not blameless.

Absolutely not.

but the win was within grasp nonetheless.

[Classic]

Yep, the clueless will blame him again.

It isn't entirely his fault sure but he wasn't good at all tonight. I don't see how anyone can argue against that

[Gwynning_Spirit]

Fair, but he’s not blameless.

he deserves blame, but so do the absent OC/HC on that last drive.
Did they just send him out there and tell him to wing it, never use a timeout, and run the clock all the way down before the snap every play?

[QuackBolt]

Why isn’t artavis scott on the team I think he would be a lot better than Patton and moore

[SDBORN]

Defense lost the game. If this was the other way around, where Rivers was lights out all game but then blew it at the end, you'd still blame him.

Defense is still a problem but that is absolute nonsense. 16-19 given up by the defense should get us a win.

And no I wouldn't. Our offense keeps spotting teams points this season and that's the biggest difference. Every game lost by one possession as per the usual.

I still want Bradley gone, having said that. And I want some real DTs

[DontEverGiveUp]

Yes

But he's never had an o line anywhere close to this bad. And every time his line plays average, they lose.

[SDBORN]

We abandoned Gordon second half. We scored just 10 points in the second half.

Agreed but at the same time we have no idea how often rivers is audibling again. We saw the same frantic behavior again and clock run downs repeatedly. Too much pre snap and too much confusion

Raiders defense was ranked one of the worst in the league. Nuff said.
