I posted this elsewhere, but the Raiders are barely alive, need a win out vs. SF and KC, and the right combination of losses by Jets, Dolphins, Patriots and Steelers.

It will be clearer after next Sunday and begin to sort itself out.

The other thing I've noticed about the defense... Staley has taken a lot of the LB reads off of their plates. The LB's are playing faster (especially K9) and the run defense has been much better. Breiden Fehoko deserves props for the job he has been doing in Austin Johnson's absence. And I don't know if anyone noticed Tyler Davidson on the 4th-and-1 stop last night... he timed the snap and blew up the OG. Apparently, TT found guys that fit the scheme rather than spending FA money (which we didn't have) on fan favorites with name-recognition...

Exactly! WR's find open spots in the zone... whether that is at the sticks or 2 yards before. After the catch, it's the WR's job to get those extra yards.
If a DB is allowing a WR to catch @the sticks... they are not doing their job.
BTW... one of my favorite plays was the ASJ interception. He came from the outside CB position to undercut the route. He was able to do this because he could release from his outside assignment (safety help over the top). QB was watching the deep safety but not noticing what ASJ was doing. Beautiful coverage design... something we heard about when Staley got hired. Disguising coverages may pay-off in the playoffs. The defense is peaking at the right time.

Raiders coach Josh McDaniels doesn't dismiss possibility of benching QB Derek Carr (nfl.com)
This, along with the Bolts getting into the postseason?!? Merry Christmas to all!
If Carr gets injured in the next two games, the Raiders are on-the-hook for paying him $33 million in 2023. Whereas, they can phase him out slowly for a cap hit of $5.6 million.
If I'm McDaniels, I make sure Carr never plays another down for the organization.

Ah, forgot about that trade. Still, not sure if Payton, who can afford to be picky about his destination, would want to go through a rebuild. But maybe he thinks he can fix Wilson - coaches have egos too."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

Go to this link and watch the video. This guy does a great job of explaining it.
What a breath of fresh air. I have really enjoyed his press conferences after each day of the draft. He clearly has a vision for what he wants and the detailed traits he is looking for in each position on the field. His football IQ is off the charts and he has a very clear way of articulating things. I know he has not coached aTHE YEAR OF THE FLIP!

I’ll let everyone fill in the gaps from there as to what the hell happened with him last night. Maybe it was Jamrock that was thinking the same thing I am about this. I didn’t notice much of a falloff when he was out.
