Sorry for the two day delay, but a lot has happened in the NFL. The Raiders made OC Getsy a scapegoat as well as their offensive line and quarterback coaches. More on that later. Elsewhere the Cowboys might be just as bad as the Raiders. The only difference is Dallas has one more win than Las Vegas. Baltimore keeps rolling. Anyway, here are my good, bad, and ugly this week
Good: The Los Angeles Rams coming from behind to beat the Seattle Seahawks. They may be a sleeper team for the playoffs if they play like what they have been lately. Honorable Mentions: The Ravens giving the Broncos a dose of reality, The Carolina Panthers getting their second win of the season with a one-point win over the Saints.
Bad: The Chicago Bears performance against the Arizona Cardinals. Yes, the Cards are a decent team but the Bears had Super Bowl aspirations in a few people’s minds. Getting beat by twenty won’t help in a lot of people’s minds. Other Noteworthy Mentions: Miami Dolphins falling to 2-6 after losing to the Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers losing by ten in the pouring rain at home to a red-hot Detroit Lions.
The Ugly: What is going on in Las Vegas? After being destroyed for the fourth time in five games, (the other game was a seven point loss) they made sacrificial lambs of offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, offensive line coach Cregg, and their quarterback coach Whoever has been running the football operations for the Raiders over the last quarter of a century has put this team in NFL quicksand. I hope the owners see this and appoints a new head of football ops.
