@NickZepp

You never replied to me

Reeses puffs is better. I dont think Cinnamon Toast Crunch is in the top 5

Cinnamon Life for the win!

Fisher is just inept. Give the ball to Gurley.

I'm just gonna say Oakland's not on an upward trajectory like we've really been. Last year was pretty much just missing a QB. If Romo doesn't get hurt we probably go to and maybe win another playoff game. But basically since 2007 or so we've been in playoff contention every year but one and won playoff games. Oakland's not got that resume.

Agreed. IMO he has been overrated as a HC for a longtime.

 

[reddyuta]

surely Goff can play better than Keenum by now.

Fair enough, Nick. Thanks for your reply.

That sucks for Harris. He's one of the few guys we allowed to walk that I really wanted back. Solid receiver, good returner and special teams cover guy.

I wanted him back, too, but not for anywhere near the money he signed for in NY. I'll take Beasley instead.

Not to mention Whitehead, he's been pretty damn legit as a returner

Disagree. Oakland is definitely looking up. 2014 they were 3-13. 2015 7-9. 2016 they are 4-2. They are definitely on the rise. Carr and Copper were big draft picks for them and I think Del Rio is changing the culture. They have some legit pieces to build around. Like the Cowboys, they need to get the defense going.

Agreed, I just wasn't gonna keep arguing with the dude.

They have a very good start to build a D around in Mack.

@viman96

Do you largely agree with my take on the previous page?

 

[Trouty]

It's confounding how much he has underperformed this year, Jazz. Well, at least for Raider nation

 

[viman96]

surely Goff can play better than Keenum by now.

I would assume not but I was not a big fan of Goff in college and doubt he will be much of a QB in the NFL

 

[Trouty]

Nope, Goff is horrid, not even remotely close to ready. Coaching staff is scared of getting exposed (possible failed pick) by putting him in the game

They allow tackling by the hair, but even grabbing the back of a jersey now, is still a horse collar tackle...the NFL is so freaking stupid....

Having hair hanging out of your helmet is a choice. Wearing a jersey is not.

 

[jazzcat22]

Collins is all over the place.

 

[Carson]

Why are you throwing it on Jenkins for 3 yards on a 3rd and 8?

 

[reddyuta]

Rams offense sucks.
