Wildcard Game Thread

People were trashing this matchup all week. Now watch it end up being highly entertaining.

I said it would be a stinker. It might be ok. Both QBs have relatively the same amount of suckage.

I would keep him versus giving him up to the Texans. I would demand a ransom before I gave him up to those hicks.

I hope we keep him, too. Why not have the best QB situation in the NFL?

 

[panchucko]

That's 100% on Osweiler there dropping that snap. The center put it right up there, Osweiler moved his other hand away early.

that is about as basic a mistake as you can make.

Very Quincy like

Texans need to respond with a TD to what just happened to them.

Otherwise, we've got a ballgame here folks.

Is that an ex-Cowboys RB playing FB in Oakland?

 

[KJJ]

And add Romo to their offense......?

Not with his salary after paying Osweiler.

 

[erod]

He was far from awful against the Vikings go check his numbers, he just didn't put up a lot of yards.

12 completions. 139 yards. One offensive touchdown.

Color me unimpressed.

Well, I can stop doing my O other stuff since Oakland scored a TD...lol...resume the game...
Actually I didn't stop watching .

Yes, Olawale.

Ran right down the field on them, including in the red zone. Did Cook even have to throw on that series?

Just one quick out to the tight end. It got them to first and goal. Murray did the rest.

 

[panchucko]

Do the reigns need to come off Cook or Oswieller?

 

[Rogerthat12]

Osweiler is truly horrible...Mack is a Boss!

Cook getting something cooking!

 

[Don Corleone]

That would be unbearable. Glad this would NEVER happen.

Well if he's outright released he can sign anywhere he wants. Those offensive weapons would be scary for the Commanders with Romo. I'm sure they would rather pay him over Cousins if they want to win now. I agree it would be unbearable.

AZ would be the best fit. They were top 10 in offense and defense and we're the best team not to make the playoffs. He won't end up in Washington that's for sure.

Denver is another but with a revamped line. He would get killed with the line they have now.

 

[Jake]

Do the reigns need to come off Cook or Oswieller?

If I'm either coach I'm running the ball as much as possible.

 

[Alexander]

As long as the Raiders can run the ball, they can compete if Cook takes the safe throws.

The Texans are screwed because Osweiler will just look awful either way.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

I love Dak and what he's done as a rookie. But I also recognize that situations matter.

I've never seen a rookie start with such a loaded offense. They usually get drafted by terrible teams with no talent if they get to start immediately.

It's a beautiful situation he inherited but what you have to appreciate is that he immediately assumed the position, was PREPARED, and TOOK ADVANTAGE of his opportunity. It's one thing to hold down the fort. Very different to flourish, lead veterans and excel at the top of the league in numerous areas both team and individual.

 

[revospeed]

Yes, Olawale.

Was he the one that was late to training camp or something because TSA caught him with ninja throwing stars?

 

[Alexander]

Cannot blame Cook for that. Crabtree just dropped a good throw.

 

[KJJ]

12 completions. 139 yards. One offensive touchdown.

Color me unimpressed.

He completed almost 67% of his passes and had a 108.3 passer rating and we got the win. Night and day away from awful.

 

[Jake]

Cook hit Crabtree right in the numbers on that slant. Can't blame the rookie for that punt.
