Coming out in the draft, the complaint on Cook was that he had "slow eyes", in other words, went through his progressions too slow and deliberately.

That sack was a result of that. He should have had the ball off. Biggest and most underappreciated quality for a QB is how fast they can think and process.

With Osweiler in the game, the Raiders still have a chance.

Houston has won 18 straight when leading at halftime. That includes games started by Brandon Weeden.

I don't like the Raiders chances.

 

[SlammedZero]

Houston's Dline has been harassing Cook all game. lol

So....how long until we invade Europe again?

Any predictions?

13 days

Houston's building up some confidence in this game.

New England might actually need to play their starters.

Only because they can't take THREE weeks off. Let's be serious, next week is a controlled scrimmage for New England.

Besides facing this crappy team, the weather will be tough for a dome team. We're having a blizzard up here right now. Imagine Osweiler in that environment. They may not get a first down.

What kind if idiot coach puts a rookie into his first game NFL experience in the playoffs?

Cook should suck. Most rookie QBs do. At least with McGloing or whatever his name is, they could get some kind of offense going. Maybe make a first down or two.

His name is Jak Del Rio and the other QB is hurt too.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

To be fair to Cook, no first team snaps all year and being asked to start a playoff game.

Not a recipe for success.

Oh no question.

But it's still ugly football.

Raiders would've been better off getting a vet from the street. What do you expect? Rookie QB, first start, playoff game, on the road, against the best defense and missing your LT.

I almost feel bad for the guy. Truthfully, Prescott would've had a rough time if this was his first start in the same situation.

 

[revospeed]

Jeez. Sean Smith is a massive cornerback.

 

[d_dub88]

when did the US army INVADE Europe?

1944. D Day. Google it.

1943 Sicily

 

[jazzcat22]

Oakland's D needs a big play here

 

[SDCowboy]

I wonder what the ratings are for this game.

 

[erod]

Dez is ok but he is not Odell, Brown, ect. Beasley is a slot reciever. Witten needs to be replaced. I would take the Giants, Packers, Falcons, Commanders, Seahawks, recievers over the Cowboys any day. This team is built to run and that is what they are going to do. Dez two years ago and Witten 5 years ago, I might agree with you.

Packers and Seahawks? Lol

 

[Alexander]

If I were O'Brien, I would run the ball the rest of the way.

That last pass from Osweiler was asking for it.

Biggest and most underappreciated quality for a QB is how fast they can think and process.

Completely agree! It's funny when you talk to fans sometimes that tout a QB on his arm strength or his physical size. Ok, those are great too, but is he smart?

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

I wonder what the ratings are for this game.

Full House reruns are currently beating this game.

 

[Avery]

What I wouldn't give to play these teams next week.

 

[Gaede]

His name is Jak Del Rio and the other QB is hurt too.

But is he that hurt? Cook may as well be playing with one arm as bad as he is

And maybe I'll be wrong but I don't think the kid is ever going to be an adequate starter.

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

Oh no question.

But it's still ugly football.

care to specify? you're not going for any team right? just want to see good ball?
