Eh....

Both showed they had the ability to be special players prior to injury.
Andre Smith, solid...long career...nothing special but not a bust.
Klingler and Akili Smith and Cedric and at this point John Ross and Billy Price are absolutely busts.
Maybe my I should have said high picks that failed to produce...that may have been a more accurate statement

Back up so I can under-throw this one to the defender!

I'm thinking a new slogan will help. Maybe something like "F The Fans, We're Going Skiing". Then they can go swim in Uncle Scrooge's money bin.

I felt we should have used Mixon & Gio more. Little confused. Mixon gets 30 carries in a 36 point loss but today when he was productive in a close game he carried 15 times. Maybe it’s just me.

Also congratulations to the Brown family on putting together a team and staff bad enough to lose more consecutive games than any in the lost decade.
Guess what: They don't care about winning.
Never thought I'd see 0-10 in 1993 surpassed. We also had a 10 game losing streak in 2010. Even on this epic failure of a franchise, this season is quite the special achievement.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Hey now, thanks to the digital age you can ignore the trade deadline from anywhere on earth! I'm sure Katie and Duke were sitting right by the Swiss fax machine in order to scan prospective offers for AJ "you may as well trade me because I ain't playin'" Green and Andy "bench me?" Dalton.

I had no problem trying out Finley. Not to win games, but to see if you have anything with him. I don’t know how long it takes to tell if someone has any potential, but he looks a long long way from being even competent.

7 point loss...Zac will talk about this game like it was a win.
Reality is the Raiders were in control the whole time.

That is accurate, and we have a long long track record in that department.
Some by just garbage picks and some sadly because of weird injuries.

This.
Really confused. Dalton had no business throwing 30 passes a game. Ryan certainly has no business throwing 31 a game.
ZT has to take a lot of this blame

My biggest concern with him is some of his strengths haven't really shown. Pocket poise? Maybe but he is still fielding a lot of sacks. He has what... 7 in two games?
Accuracy? Besides a pass or two, I haven't seen that. He clearly isn't the answer.

Shout out to the defense. By no means was it great, but they played well enough to win.

Amazing how a bad coaching staff can make Marvin Lewis suddenly look like a genius, eh.

This is absolutely pathetic. 13/31 41.9% 115 3.7ypa 0/1 5 sacks 39.0 rating. Against a bad pass D.

Yeah. Besides a pass or two it was pretty bad. His accuracy on a few of the completions were horrible.
We are truly screwed.

I still feel like Marvin would be 0-10 with this team

So 36 pass attempts and you get 115 yards out of it? Eep. I didn't expect much but lordy that's bad.
