Everybody has the worst everything.
Patriots gameplan - Double Gronk, watch out for Edelman. The rest will take care of itself. Team has no talent at receiver.

When did I say that? I never said Luck would win a SB behind that o-line. It's pretty bad it's just not as bad as you, a Patriots fan spoiled with years of great o-line play, seem to think it is. Still pretty bad though!

Even if we lose next week we'll be 2-3 and still in the division race
So it's not really that bad

Second episode of Gotham was something indeed. I'll give it time cause I gave Agents of SHIELD time and it grew into a great show.

Unless Batman shows up by episode 5, this show is stupid.

Brady is a stand up guy. He had a bad game, he is still a good QB.

Now I know how you feel
I don't disagree that McKenzie's done a good job. Allen just was put in an impossible position.
He's done a good job drafting, and the numbers speak for themselves. They can't keep cycling through these HCs though. It will never get better if they do.

You need to go lower for that.

McKenzie's one saving grace at this point is that the 2014 draft class looks very promising. Pretty much everything else ranges from meh to awful. I think McKenzie gets at least one more year
He's so awful, he's mike martz 2.0
As I saw on Twitter, "Who knew Batman without Batman was so boring?".

We beat the pats once, we matched our expectations
Dude, I just want the Raiders to be good to spice up the AFCW!

They fired Dennis Allen over the phone?

He didn't let them walk, they wanted to leave and he refused to give them 12 million a year offers to keep them.
Donald Penn, the "old" LT he got for a fraction of the price Veldheer wanted has quietly outplayed him. We miss Houston a bit more, but 13 million for 1 year is too much for a 1-dimensional run-stopper. Lamaar Woodley and Tuck are both better players when used correctly, but Allen has them standing up in 2 point stances getting blown up. Woodley signed because he was told he'd be a 43 DE, which he'd be good at.
He also signed Austin Howard, who has been good, Tarell Brown hasn't been bad.
All these signings are not bad contracts which people do not understand. He can cut them all loose next year and have no effect on the cap.
And all of the top FAs he targeted, flatout said NO, they wouldn't play for the Raiders. He targeted almost every top FA this year.
The roster isn't as bad as people think, the coaching is a huge issue.

No. We have enough competition as it is with the Chargers and Broncos.
There's always a worst somewhere, and the pats happen to have a few of them- The worst LB corps, the worst Receiving corps, and the worst O-line. You could even argue that in it's current state they have the worst or towards the bottom in their secondary. Revis looks awful against bad receivers these past 2 weeks. Logan Ryan is awful, Pat Chung is the worst safety in the league, Tavon and Duron don't even play. They are in real trouble across the board here. just the way it is.
They haven't had GREAT o-line play for a few years now. Not like Peyton has had, and that's poor GMing from Bill as always. It's never been this bad, it's not about being spoiled, it's about it being the worst, and even when he does get time, his weapons don't get open. They average less than 3 yards a carry in the run game, due to poor personnel and line play. Tom has no time, and nobody is open. The playcalling is beyond atrocious.

At least buffalo and the jets will lost next week
Everyone but Fox apparently. I'd be totally fine with the show if they just kinda ignored Batmans rogue galley, got rid of Kid Bruce and Catwoman and made totally new people for Jim to deal with.
lol, well yes, to clarify I want those teams to start sucking!
Did we watch the same thing? He's saying everybody is playing awful and that they won't quit. He knows his playing terrible, he's one of the more accountable guys in the league.

Who are you
LMAO that would be the worst. "Umm sorry, we didn't get you a return ticket because you're fired".
So what vet qb will he overpay that only gets beat by a rookie will he get next year?

Yes! I miss the old Chiefs / Raiders rivalry. It has kind of been meaningless for quite some time.
Raider hater for life
Fair points, I guess he wasn't as bad as I thought.

ESPN saw this miles away and suspended Bill Simmons before he could lose his mind about the Pats.

Damn that was fast... hearing a defensive quality control guy.
He will probably be great back in that position
who cares? Seriously it doesn't make us any better. This is such a weird mentality to me.

Jada Pinkette's character is one of the few bright spots in the show though.

It helps them out in the long run if they ever get their shit together.

Flynn was a mistake, no doubt. Schaub was a one year vet stopgap when they had excess caproom while they groomed Carr. Carr outplayed him, nothing wrong with that.
