quick thoughts on the fucking bullshit raiders game

what this team has really accomplished and where its headed. But it is only one game, although the D has been lame all year IMO. I think expectations were
too high for this defense. Grigson left the cupboard completely empty on that side and Ballard has chosen to fill it for the most part with draft picks. That takes some time.
I disagree with the thread author about Brisset's play. If the D had been
serviceable and the WR corps hadn't shit their pants I think he played well
enough to win the game.

You disagree that his deep ball was late and he lacks touch?

I never imagined that criticism wouldn’t be widely accepted

Agree, it was a bad pick, 100%.

But it's Jacoby brissett making a bad read against a savvy defensive play. I think everyone is surprised this hasn't happened more often, and we're lucky to be 2 and 2.

I'm not sure what else to say. We sucked on defense, offense, and special teams. We can't win like that and were lucky to even be in this game.

When the reichs best coaching decision was to give up and let them take knees at the end were saying something. We have a long way to go.

We underestimated the raiders and got punished for it.

Their defense was impressive, completely shut or running game down, made us pass the ball. As soon as one skill player has a bad day, we're cooked. Ebron dropped 4 today. Andrew luck can overcome a margin of error like that, brissett cannot.

I thought the Raiders weakness was their LB's--where were the seam routes? Moe-Allie Cox, hello? I'm so tired of every excuse in Ballard's favor is to blame Grigson. That shit is so far in the past, it's time for some accountability in the present and like Omaha said, keeping Al Woods would've been a good start. How about Hankins and Simon too? Throwing out decent, physical players with size for this? None of that is any previous regime's fault. It looks like a failed attempt to be the smartest guy in the room. Apparently, finding reliable wide receivers is this regime's area of difficulty. Thankfully, this division is bad all around and anything near 9-7 will be seen as a fair season. It'll be chalked up to a tough schedule when in reality, injuries to other star players will continue to make it look less daunting by the week.
