Week 7 Late Games Thread

And the Raiders promptly lose the toss. Unbelievable. Will Tom Cable be the first interim coach fired after two weeks? I wouldn't put it past Davis.

Maybe if this would have happened against the Broncos.

it isnt his fault.its brett favre willing his team ....

LOL (10 characters)

BTW, wasn't the theme of this week by the national media about how the Colts and Manning were back in playoff form and so were the Chargers? Oh well, so much for the themes of last week. Both are just average teams.

The Colts are about to drop to 3-3 (should be 1-5) and the Chargers are 3-4 and about to head to England.

Oh yeah, they are both in playoff form. Sure does look like it.

 

[Delicate Genius]

Sacked!

Raiders are getting the ball.

Well, that IS playoff form for the Colts.....

Jets-Raiders should end in a tie. Neither team deserves a W.

 

[Seymour93]

I am predicting that this game will end in a tie.

EDIT: Looks like patchick beat me to it.

 

[BadMoFo]

Raiders almost had the game-ender there.

Raiders almost had the game-ender there.

'almost' has been the story of the raiders....

Gotta love Brett Favre. Big 3rd and 4 play in overtime and he throws what should have been an easy pick. I still don't get why the media still gives this guy God-like status. He is an average QB who can deliver either the pass for the ages type of play or the huge heartbreaker play from time to time.

A Brady led team would be going nuts thru this league right now. Sad.

The way their offenses are playing, I think you may be right.

How awful are the Raiders?

 

[Richter]

Russell is TERRIBLE. I cannot fathom how he went #1 overall. The pick made no sense at the time, and still doesn't. The guy never ran anything approaching a pro offense at LSU, never demonstrated much talent beyond having a great arm and scrambling around, never displayed the ability to go through reads quickly and throw accurate passes, and never should have been drafted in the first round, let alone #1 overall. The dysfunction of the Raiders at it's worst.

Really, if they had a good quarterback, they'd be a .500 team. They aren't THAT bad, Russell is just terrible.

 

[patchick]

If the Jets keep it on the ground, they'll win.

:ditto:

Ooh, he's big! And look at how strong his arm is! Ooh, and did I mention he's big?

Russell was a huge boom-or-bust prospect, with better odds on bust. You just can't commit vast guaranteed money to that kind of guy.

 

[Rob0729]

Favre fumbles. If it wasn't for luck (a good bounce out of bounds and Huff not being able to hold onto a gift INT), Favre should have single handily lost this game for the Jets on the last two drives.

More like a small bust-or-huge bust prospect. I didn't see much in the way of upside with him as a quarterback. A strong arm can't make up for the inability to read defenses.

Of course as I say this, Russell completes two wide open passes, off of poorly timed blitzes.

Mistakes are contagious in Oakland. Dropped pass that possibly would've got them in field goal range.
