Week 7 was another week of football where there are a few key injuries to star players. Brandon Aiyuk is said to have a Torn ACL. DeShaun Watson is rumored to have an Achilles Tear. Both of these two are likely done for the year. In lesser injury news, Aidan O’Connell broke his thumb. He’ll probably be out for at least a month. Injuries notwithstanding, here are my good, bad, and ugly:
Good: The Raiders defense showed marked improvement. Yes, they allowed 20 points. All of the points they surrendered, including the scoop-and-score, were the fault of a pathetic offense. More on that later. Honorable Mention: Russell Wilson still has it.
Bad: The injuries are a noteworthy mention but I’ll have to say that the Patriots have seen better days. They’re QB room tops only the Raiders and their Defense isn’t as good as it used to be. Other Noteworthy Mentions: The Browns offense
The Downright Ugly: The Raiders offense is the worst Raiders offense I’ve seen since 2009. Heck, at the rate they’re going it might rival the 2006 squad for worst offense in franchise history. Their quarterback situation is dreadful and they traded away a disgruntled All-Pro who cares more about his own success than that of the team he is on. Attitudes like that won’t be conducive to a winning culture for a team.
