Well, once again, the Raiders lost. When one thing goes right there’s always two things that disintegrate so that the team blows every week. I wonder if someone cursed the Raiders or it’s down to utter incompetence by everyone there calling the shots. Probably option B. Anyway, there is one bright spot for the Raiders, which will be discussed now:
Good: Raiders TE Brock Bowers is HIM! I can only hope he will demonstrate patience while the rest of the team seemingly is fertilizer. They also need a quarterback so I’m wondering if they’re going against the code and tanking for Shadeur Sanders or Cam Ward. Who knows? Honorable Mentions: In the battle of felines, the Lions mauled the Jaguars; The Broncos beating the Falcons.
Bad: The Chiefs are unbeaten no more, losing to the Bills. The defense in KC is their saving grace from being a 3-seed while their offense is pedestrian. Other Noteworthy Mentions: The Bears continue to hibernate at home, losing to the Packers; The Commanders losing to the Eagles
The Downright Ugly: What is the Raiders brass’ plan, and, who is hiring the GM and coaching staff? I don’t know but whoever it is has been way too indecisive since Al Davis passed away. If they want to be great again, or even relevant, they need to devise a plan, stick to it, and for the Love of God be patient.
