unclevlad Posted November 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 The Athletic's got a long story this morning, about the McDaniel/Ziegler firings. It is a litany of mistakes, misjudgments, and general misery. One of the late paragraphs: Quote Worse than the embarrassing losses by McDaniels and Davis’ money being set on fire by Ziegler was that there was no believable plan for success going forward. McDaniels looked more and more flustered by the day and said after the Bears loss that “football is a mysterious game sometimes.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 To rub salt into the wound, I saw a post on the Book of Face yesterday pointing out that the Raiders are now paying Jon Gruden and Josh McDaniels a combined $80 million not to coach their team. I don't see how a team could make any kind of positive change under that kind of financial burden. This mess is going to take a long time to clean up.

unclevlad Posted November 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Another story from yesterday pointed that out as well. The Raiders will have issues with that...but they're apparently relatively cash-strapped. And yeah, stories frequently point back to the common denominator of the Raiders' issues...Mark Davis.

Mark Davis is way too hands-on as an owner. And he's way too impatient. That said, the day it was announced, everyone on Earth knew how the McDaniels hire was going to turn out. (Although only the Raiders could have a coach flame out this spectacularly.). It was especially disappointing since Davis might already have had the answer with Rich Bisaccia. That man took a team whose WR1 had just gone to jail for murder, and went 7-5 and into the playoffs. He might not have been the next coming of Belichick but he was clearly competent, and more to the point, he could probably have been picked up for next to nothing (for an NFL coach). Besides, how brilliant of an offensive mind do you have to be with Davante Adams on your team? Instead we got the last 1.5 seasons, and now the Raiders play the Giants in three days with a rookie interim HC and a rookie QB. Wcgw?

unclevlad Posted November 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Of course, your comments amplify the futility of the BRONCOS' senior management, before the sale went through.

unclevlad Posted November 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Vegas got this one. Steelers were -2.5; O/U was 36.5. I still don't think the Steelers are that good, but 5-3 is 5-3, and they've taken the first against the Ravens. They've got games against the Packers, Colts, Pats, and Cardinals left, too, so there's a pretty good chance Tomlin keeps his winning season streak alive. OTOH, they have 2 against the Bengals, and the Ravens, Seahawks, and Browns. Titans, OTOH, are in a world of hurt, 3 back of the Jags, and obviously 3-5 doesn't stack up well for a WC. And, of course, major QB issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 I dunno, Levis had a great deep ball tonight when he had time. Plenty of zip and accuracy. Problem is T.J. Watt rarely gave him that time. It was entirely plausible that he could have won the game on that last drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted November 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 When it rains, it pours.... Vikes' backup Hall gets nailed trying to run the ball in...he's under the concussion protocol. NOT how one would like one's first start to end, less than a full quarter in. So they're forced to fall back to Dobbs...on the roster for less than a week. First 2 possessions were....less than positive. Sack-safety and sack-fumble. Good thing for DT...the Falcons' offense isn't exactly stellar. 3 FGs to go with that safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still give the Vikes credit for a long drive to take the lead back at the end. CJ Stroud has just VAULTED into RoY considerations. Mayfield drives Tampa Bay down to take the lead...by 4...with 46 seconds left. Kickoff is is a touchback. Stroud goes 75 hards in 40 seconds, 2 nice throws getting them into the red zone, then end zone. His final stats...30/42 for...count em...470. And *5* touchdowns. 39-37 Texans...who are now .500.

aylwin13 Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 The Seachickens were so bad CBS didn't even finish showing the game. I'm glad I DVR sports nowadays, so that I can skip through the crap, which was most of this game. Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and this Dobbs kid might actually be a decent QB. So far the Derps with their rookie QB and their rookie coach are at least not imploding. I mean, it’s the Giants. But I’ve seen worse out of them. Recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted November 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 CBS switched out, IIRC, around the end of the 3rd quarter...which is really, really bad. The NFL Catfishes are doing a good job of showing they deserve that term. Panthers and Giants are pretty much just playing out the clock; Cards, Pats, and Bears already lost.
