    How's that stat line look in crunchtime?

    Rodgers did what Rodgers does, lets see just how many QBs match this feat throughout the season. I quick look at the schedule finds that not only is a rematch against Rodgers, but also a game against Brady. Beyond that, do you think Wilson or Stafford (who will have 2 cracks at it) could duplicate this? I don't see anyone who'd have a realistic shoot at 3 4th quarter TDs vs. this D.

And as a Raiders fan, and a smart person, you should know that the few pressure Mack got through double teams speaks more to the ineffectiveness of those around him than him.
    Of course I know that, but the end result is all the same. My rant isn't all on Mack. It's on the overall picture.

    Mack could've done the same exact thing on the Raiders with the same result. And then what? We talk about how great he was but how the team lost? Been there, done that.

    If only he had been traded to Denver.
    But what happened to this top 10 defense that will get better with him?

    It's only one game but according to a LOT of people (including myself) this game was over at halftime.

    I'll say it again, I am not happy with the trade. But maybe I will be in a few years.

    Their last 7 games are brutal. Before tonight's game, I had them going 9-7 and missing the playoffs.

    Mack was the reason they had the lead. It sucks for the Bears that the best quarterback in football diced them in the fourth.

    I’m sure the Raiders have the same type of dynamic player ready to go to fill that void.

    No one said they did. Not even close.

    They have a long term plan. What is it? **** if I know. I'm just as lost as anyone but until they pay me $10,000,000 a year, I won't try to dissect it outside the obvious of building through the draft, with his impeccable track record.

    Tonight's beat down from the Rams should make things more dicey than it already is.

    Hey Mo,

    I got nuthin.

    Game went as expected. Come out fired up then watch a real team handle their business.

    What disturbed me the most was my text conversations with Goff while he was in the pocket. And these were deep, philosophical debates. While he was in the pocket.

    One wonders... does Mack win that game?

    I can't say, but the defense surprised me in the first half. It was a hell of a game.

    A key drop each by our teams. If Keith Smith holds on at 3rd and 1, it may have sealed it. Demarius Thomas' drop was almost a game killer.

    Looking forward to our rematch AND what this team will look like with that thing called a pass rush.

    Good game, all. Oh and Gruden the coach will be fine. The GM... we'll see.

    Our punter is awesome.

    He’s also a bit crazy. But he’s awesome.

    That's why I could never understand people hating on him. He's having fun. He eccentricities are a turn off for those that don't get it.

    Well, I will say Oakland has a good coaching staff. Gruden has them playing above their talent level.
