The best bad thing was how the Packers would waste a time out and then immediately screw up the next play as badly as humanly possible. Strategy! :master:

I expect Big Ben to look a lot better in a week than he did yesterday, so I have that as a loss. The Lions and Titans shouldn't even be able to play the Raiders close though.

The Titans defense is really good dude. They will be able to keep it close till they get tired from the offense never allowing them to get a break

So is the jets defense, and the raiders got TDs on their first 3 drives.

I didn't know the rapist is back already, so yeah that very well could be a loss. They'll miss Bell though, so it will probably be close. It really depends what Raiders D wants to show up.

Is the stadium hard to get out of or otherwise a pain in the rear end to get from stadium to home for most people? Because that's what happens at Foxboro every game.

Beats me but it is really odd to see when a team is down 6 with the ball.

The Ravens finally won another game, but lost Steve Smith for the season doing it. The most pyrrhic of victories. 2-14 and a top 3 pick here we come!

I haven't really paid attention to the Broncos this season, but i'm hearing you guys about their D this season. Is it really that drat good?

I feel bad for Leveon, even if he's on my most hated rival he's fun as hell to watch. Hope it's not as bad as it looks. On the bright side you guys still have the second best backup running back in the division to step in.

I don't know why we weren't feeding Gio yesterday and if we'd lost I'd be pretty comfortable blaming Hue Jackson's playcalling. The first time all year Jeremy has been running like last year, and three touches total for Gio. Cmon son

In a way Bell being out makes the game worse for the Raiders since their run defense is seriously that much better than their pass defense (no offense to Charles Woodson).

Ben physically looked real bad. Maybe he will be a bit better next week but if they can get any pressure on him then he just sort of hurls it deep as he can.

Somehow, Seattle's offensive line didn't allow a sack to the Cowboys featuring Greg Hardy. Wilson took several hits after the pass, but no sacks? That's improvement.

That Shawn Williams pick was insane. Like I've seen that exact play about a million times. Ben escapes a sack, broken play, runs around like a loving oaf, inexplicably slings it for a back breaking completion. Pretty loving great to see it work out the way it did though :)

The Jets came out flat and looked like they'd given up by the start of the 2nd quarter. They've now lost about 5 starters to injury in the past 2 weeks, starting qb Fitzpatrick included. I won't pin this loss on injuries though. The Jets defense was garbage today. They didn't force a single punt until the 4th quarter. Nobody on the entire team could tackle for poo poo, and most of the secondary just refused to cover receivers. The defensive line got barely any pressure all game, though when they did it provided the only form of pass defense the Jets could muster. LB Demario Davis got lost and/or missed tackles on several plays. The only defensive players I wouldn't give poo poo for today's embarrassment are Wilkerson and Harris. They played good football, they were always where they needed to be and actually tackled people.

On the offensive side, I actually don't blame the players too much. Geno came in and played well for a guy who missed the first month of the season and was given absolutely no preparation for today's game. Instead, I'll blame the coaching. They played ultraconservative football and completely hosed any possibility for Geno to make a comeback by holding him back for the first couple drives and refusing to go for it on 4th downs (especially damning considering how the defense was playing). They completely misused Ivory, trying to force him the ball when there was no time for runs, or trying to run by loading up the line with lovely linemen, leaving Ivory no room to actually run.

Also fire the special teams coordinator already. Zac Stacy is still somehow our kick returner, despite him having no speed or ability to stay on his feet. There were 4-5 perfectly returnable kickoffs today that the Jets couldn't take a chance on because Stacy is garbage. Maybe put in our speedy rookie Devin Smith since you won't even let him crack the lineup anymore for Kenbrell loving Thompkins.

The Raiders played well, and I don't mean to take anything away from them when I say the Jets played way below their ability today. I'd be happy for the Raiders return to relvancy if it didn't come at the cost of the Jets losing a big wildcard tiebreaker as a result.

The Raiders are playing well at the moment and it was rough to lose Fitz early in the game like that, but I'm going to put this loss on the secondary. Harris and Mo were everywhere like you say but even Richardson was hustling back to try catch runners the secondary just whiffed on. If your DL is doing a better job chasing open field runners than the safeties then something is fundamentally wrong.

Whoever #20 is needs to go back to safety school or whatever because he's just not good enough. The second and fourth touchdowns were just horseshit tackling, the second especially I mean jesus h you're the last line of defense, the guy has stumbled but is still up and you try to lamedick strip the ball instead of laying the loving wood what in the WORLD :argh: I didn't realise how much we'd miss Pryor after his injury but hoo lordy if this is what awaits us then get well soon buddy.

Carr was getting rid of it quick which negated the pressure, same as Brady. He put up a couple of floaters in the face of pressure but the ball got there anyway which is extremely frustrating.
