Carr had a easy rz td with waller in ny but….

Carr has long been pretty terrible in the red zone. That's just a fact. He's struggled his entire career in the red zone. 

You can say what you want about the defensive struggles the past 2 years, but if this team was remotely able to score in the red zone, they make the playoffs both years. If they don't figure it out the second half of the year, they'll suffer the same fate, but you won't be able to pin it on the defense for them failing this year.

Please tell me he's not being allowed to wear number 1. Absolutely hate number 1. It tells me he thinks he's better than every other player.

Hasn't it been good this year outside of last Sunday?

If it was any good, the Raiders would have beaten the Giants.

Desean wore #1 at Cal, #10 in Philly (taken), and #11 in Washington (Ruggs #)... lol

Or is is just his college number.

Now that OBJ is reportedly off the market I hope we go and sign a guy like John Brown to back up Jackson. He left for more playing time but that hasn't happened so a return would be in his interests.

Vic said we weren't interested and he hasn't been able to land a job/play anywhere else this season which isn't a great sign.

I mean we completely shut down the Bears and the Giants, Carr and the offense just couldn't score.

Yeah as I explained above, he wore #1 in college so that was the logical choice. Especially when you consider that the other numbers he has worn in the NFL, #10 is taken, and #11 is Ruggs old number which would be super weird.

Yeah. Definitely not locked on John Brown, more we just need another speedy guy as D-Jax is older - more worried that if anything happens to D-Jax our offense loses quite a lot.
