Week 5 Discussion

[Frederick]

Wasn't a good advertisement for Chargers to stay in San Diego

Looked like there were just as many Steeler fans

Steelers fans travel well. No matter where they play there will be thousands upon thousands of terrible towels in the crowd

How are those apples for ya?

Since Gannon:

Kerry Collins
Marques Tuiassosopo
Andrew Walter
Aaron Brooks
Josh McCown
Daunte Culpepper (in his shitty later years)
JaMarcus Russell
Bruce Gradkowski (I remember thinking Bruce was so good because he could complete passes)
Charlie Frye
Jason Campbell (he was ok)
Carson Palmer (decent, but nowhere near as good as he was at Cinci or what he is now)
Terrelle Pryor
Matt Flynn
Matt McGloin
Matt Schaub

TBH, Derek Carr hasn't really been that flash, but he's the second coming of Jesus to Oakland fans because of what he's compared to.

I'd completely forgotten the name Charlie Frye. Thanks for the reminder.

How long has it been since the Rams and raiders made the playoffs?

2004 for the Rams.

The SuperBowl was their last appearance wasn't it... On the rams, about time the team started to use Tavon, he's electric when on, if only you had a decent QB, Considering Gurley is a freak of an athlete, he will carry that offence.

I can't overstate how good Gurley is. He's still finding his legs and he's running at 5+ yards per carry. He makes the hard yards and moves the chains. Can't wait till he takes the brace off. Those 50 yard runs will be 70 yard tds.

And the Rams still couldn't pass for shit against the Packers. 4 ints which included a pick 6. It was such a waste of a supreme defensive display. At least they have the bye to work things out.

First thing to do is stop targeting cook. It's alarming they keep looking his way when tavon and Bailey are on the team, especially on 3rd downs. Nothing good has come from the 20 or so targets of cook on 3rd down. He's the most anti clutch player in the nfl.

Yeah it's hard not to sit back and take note of what Gurley is doing
He looks like he might be a franchise changing back

 

[nick87]

Also Antonio Gates has the best old man game in football
He cuts like my grand father, runs like my obese uncle and yet he still gets WIDE open for TDs
He's incredible

Devonta Freeman merkins.

I'm just so excited Hotlanta has a run game. It's been a long time since 2010 Michael Turner

I reckon they lost a couple seconds after the Miller catch too.

Shamarko Thomas got called as down by contact after retrieving a fumble, however nobody had touched him with a fairly clear run to the end zone.
Bell got whistled early while still on his feet and fighting forward through a couple of tacklers, he would have only made another yard or two but still, it was a premature and strange call. Both from the same line judge.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

Just caught up the games. It is easy to avoid the scores when living in Australia lol.

As a Pack fan, I am happy with the win but a few things seem to be concerning. Our run game has been pretty woeful. Our O has not really stood up for a few games. We should have put 40 on the 49ers and against the Rams D we struggled.

I actually believe our D has been far better then our offense so far. Matthews is a straight up beast and Raji has been shrugging off o-linemen like they are kids. Our secondary can have some lapses though.

Lacy needs a rest, does not look like himself running. Seems to be moving slower and looks overweight. I think Starks has outplayed him so far.
