Jerry Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The NFL really needs to slide KC or Denver over to the AFC South and bring either the Colts or Jaguars to our division. Our division could end up representing half of the playoff teams in the AFC this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Dallas will slide this season. Lost a couple pieces on that Oline and their D has some holes. I totally agree with this. The Cowboys are a better version of the Jags, they need to be ahead to do damage. Once they got behind Denver could just pen their ears back and hold them off. Also that Cowboy defense is pretty overrated, their lack of depth will catch up to them and it did yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are so quick to crown QBs (Bortles another example) before they have a body of work. And I mean game situations. Easy to play with a lead and manage a game. Harder to come back from a hole. Denver made him look mediocre in every phase. Let's see how he responds because teams will be bringing similar game plans to him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems he likes getting ahead of teams that rely on their running game or teams that are weaker on passing offense. I have a hard time seeing this offense keeping up with the Raiders.

Last year I tried to fix the divisions. It's harder than you think. I ended up relocating Jacksonville to Salt Lake City (SLC Summit) and Buffalo to OKC (OKC Bills) Divison would AFC West - Oak/LV, AZ, Den, SLC Mid West - OKC, KC, Dal, Hou Central - Tenn, Indy, Car , Cinn North East - Was, Bal, Cle, Pitt NFC Pacific - LAR, SF, Sea, LAC North - Min, Det, GB, Chi South - Atl, NO, TB, Mia Atlantic - NE, NYG, Phi, NYJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams don't have 3 of the best CB's in the NFL in there secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver has good CBs, but a good Oline who gives their QB protection will give WRs time to beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Brady, Big Ben, Rodgers, hell even our own Derek Carr has never had what i would call a good game against that defense. Dak having a bad game there shouldn't be an indictment on him as a QB. He is still a very good young QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickButera Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Jalen Strong is being released. I was kind of high on him during the draft. Guess I was wrong. Kinda sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkness Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It sucks Carr has to face arguably the 2 best pass defenses 4 times a season, but that's where adding Lynch should really help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can only make him better facing tough competition. All the great corners and pass rushers in our division test him constantly and thats a blessing in disguise. He will be ready for anything. If he is truly elite now he NEEDS to do better against Denver and ESPECIALLY Kansas city this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great measurement of where our offense is at and whether or not it is capable of carrying us through the playoffs. Hopefully the Raiders win and learn from those games and use those lessons to win again when it really matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderX Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Kinda surprised by how bad the Giants are. Then again it seems like they have yearly OL problems. Keep drafting them with their first 3 picks and they end up moving around and struggling. Marshall getting no looks either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
