    Looking at you, Flacco.
    Maybe the Raiders could shock the world, make it to the superbowl, and add to the illustrious list of AFC West teams that get crushed and lose by 20+.
    It would be a lot more entertaining than what they've been doing since the last time that happened.

    Never understood some of the Carr hate.

    Was he the best rookie QB last season? No. But he played the whole season without breaking down like Bortles, lost his Coach partway through the season, and was playing with..... who exactly as his receivers?

    Lol my question exactly. All I said, basically, was that he was no Brady or Rodgers and that he had a pretty solid year last year haha.

    At least we both made a Superbowl, same as the Chiefs. Need the Chargers to stop forever underachieving.

    There is Carr hate out there, people who point to last season and blame him for all of Oakland's offensive failures. A lack of a true #1 to throw to, an Oline that was struggling under a weak center and drawing penalties, no running game at all, and an OC with no testicles were to blame for that more than a rookie QB who wasn't even meant to start last season.

    Bengals offense looked so raw last night.

    Tyler Eifert is going to be a pro bowl TE if he can stay healthy.

    For some reason I thought the cowboys would pick him up but now I see why. Even behind that O line he'd fucking suck.

    They got McFadden instead, who is as blind, but you don't notice because he spends most of his time injured.

    While we are hating on underperforming RB's: Spiller is hurt again as well.


    Seems bad running backs with upside have about as many lives as QB's with that same problem.

    Spiller got the knee scoped, should be ready for start of season, not as bad as White with the Bears going on PUP list and possibly missing the season.

    I had so much hope for White. I figured he could rival Amari Cooper as a rookie starter, and then this. Very disappointing for the Bears, who are also contending with Jefferey being hurt. Going to be a long season for the Bears if those 2 don't recover.

    At this rate, Oakland are going to have the best overall 1st round pick of the season by default the way people are getting injured. Was looking forward to the White/Cooper battle. With DeVante Parker injured as well and Perrimen slowly coming back, that leaves us with DGB and Dorsett as the other rookie receivers.

    Oh shit. I forgot there's a reason to watch Oakland this year. Cooper for Rookie of the Year.

    Rivers got an extension, loads of guaranteed money, one has to think he is warming to the possibility of moving to LA. As has been said, the Chargers are the team that can least afford to stand pat and watch somebody else go to LA and squeeze their market.

    Oh I'm also confused as to why the Bucs played Winston the entire first half, he is terrible in the first half, he should play the entire second half, obviously!

    God allmighty the broadcasting of this game. Half the time the Eagles plays are going on when they are doing replays or looking at the sidelines. Complete joke.
