I'm surprised the Raiders are 9–7 but I'm actually not surprised that the chargers are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This very well could be a career/franchise altering game. If we win and are in, anything can happen but at least I could see Carr coming back. If he blows it and struggles heavily with the nation watching, I imagine his seat gets damn hot and a new HC/GM/OC will potentially want their new own guy.

There's so many things to unpack: -they got beat last time and the offense severly under performed -Bosa talked smack about him directly -they're playing against the divisional opponent -winner goes to the playoffs loser doesn't This is one of those games where there's literally no excuse not to bring your A game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Carr is back next year with an extension regardless, Mark Davis said he'd decide on Carr's future before he makes a GM/coaching hire so that points to Carr being extended.

Literally zero excuses not to show up and perform at his best. This game will tell us whether DC truly has that Mamba mentality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing to do well when you're the underdog for a month and nobody cares what you do anymore because the expectation is that you're gonna be picking in the top 15. Another when the expectation is that you're in position to Win and all the lights are on you on a Sunday night football game that is the last game of the regular season and the stakes are high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s exhausting His 9 TD/14 turnovers is cherry picking stats? Carr has been great in clutch moments over the last three weeks and played great against the Cowboys. But outside of the Cowboys game, Carr and the offense haven't been very good. The defense has carried us and put us in positions to win.

Plus you switch up your takes a lot seemingly for the sake of creating an argument. Like I said….it’s exhausting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 I hope that Carr comes to play and puts on a great performance. But the Chargers pass defense is slightly above average, their run defense is their biggest flaw, second worst in the league. If we're going to win, Josh Jacobs is going to have a monster game.

I'm not trying to argue, I'm just pointing out that Carr hasn't been great down the stretch of the season overall. He has 5 more turnovers then he has TD passes but has made when they mattered the last three weeks. I don't think this is the week he has to put up a monster game for us to win, he just cannot turn the ball over. We just saw the Texans put it on the Chargers behind Rex Burkhead, Jacobs needs to come to play and if we get the run game going, Carr won't have to win the game for us.

NYRaider Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 This is basically a home playoff game. Opened the season on MNF against the Ravens and now we close the season on SNF against the Chargers, win or go home. What a crazy season.
