Turnobili Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) the raiders have exactly 2 wins with more than a 10 point margin since Gruden took over at the start of the 2018-2019 season... but this one is looking ripe to be a third i dont think brissett is much worse than Tua in a vacuum, but behind this OL, a guy who holds the ball as long as brissett does is going to have a bad day Edited September 22, 2021 by Turnobili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyPhil1781 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Marcus Mariota 2.0 This guy won't last in this league due to physical limitations and will be oft injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hits Tua, lands directly on him and knocks him out the game. Through two games, we have the absolute worst Oline in football. Brissett coming in to replace Tua also got rocked all game long. Crosby going to have a field day I mean...you guys had Sewell staring right at you, or Slater.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty easy to say in hindsight but yeah, its frustrating. The Oline was much better last year than it has been this year even though most of the starters remain the same. Don't think anyone could've predicted the three rookies who started last year would regress that much after one offseason. To me this screams poor coaching/development and a lack of preparedness more than it speaks about talent. Jackson - 1st round in 2020 Kindley - 4th round in 2020 Dieter - 3rd round in 2019 Hunt - 2nd round in 2020 Eichenberg - 2nd round in 2021 Its not like they've ignored the unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure is shaping up that way. The key thing is that he already plays like he's afraid of getting hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is certainly a far superior situational spot for Miami than last week, when they were facing a talented team that was on the road after a loss. Fans and media are forever too preoccupied with subjectively nitpicking personnel and matchups while ignoring the motivational realities that dictate intensity and performance level. Dolphins vs Raiders is the essence of Crowd vs Crowd. Two middle tier teams and now the home team is mostly anointed as 4 point favorite solely due to perception of the first two weeks. If perception had gone the other way the game would be pick-em range. That's what makes Crowd vs Crowd so breathtaking season after season. The overreaction to recency will never cease. It doesn't work every time. Far more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far more often than not. its a better spot for miami to be on the road than at home? sure what you're making it sound like. and the 3.5 spread isn't wild at all lol. for teams that would be equal on a neutral field, the home field advantage usually nets 3 points. they're basically saying the raiders are 0.5 points better than the dolphins, which isn't wildly controversial.
