Not a bad Thursday night game at all. The Chargers with rookie phenom Justin Herbert and TE Hunter Henry. And they may be starting a 4/5 White o-line if the depth chart I just looked at is accurate. All Pro Joey Bosa on defense, with Nick Vigil playing roughly half of the snaps last week at ILB.

The Raiders have Derek Carr, yet another White QB buried by the fake news sports media who is having a fine season, the great Jason Witten on his last legs, and of course Hunter Renfrow, who may have a sneaky good game with Henry Ruggs out. On defense they have Maxx Crosby, Nick Kwiatkoski and Carl Nassib. Jeff Heath is out but Dallin Leavitt may see some snaps at FS.

Welp I got blocked by Jim Nagy and the Senior bowl twitter accounts. I guess my tweets asking why white athletes were not invited were striking a nerve. It does look like they sent an invite out to Ben Skowronek though.

I'll just make another account and harass them some more. They only banned me after I would include the discriminated players I mentioned directly in the messages I sent.

Best outcome is a Raiders win with Herbert having a strong game for the Chargers. Both QBs are true QBs though and a pleasure to watch.

One half truth mentioned so far was how much more "NFL ready" QBs are now than they were previously. Herbert has alot of elements from the Oregon offense in the Chargers offense for sure but I would still argue that QBs like Murray who essentially has the same playbook he did in high school and college and Jackson who has had a whole system built around his ability are definite advantages when compared to Mayfield coming in to learn a new offense, the ineptitude surrounding Darnold etc.


Herbert to Henry for the 1st score of the game!

Nick K. and Nassib blew up Ballage in the backfield.

Herbert with a great start.

Looks like Nassib, Kwiatkowski, Crosby, and Leavitt all on D for Raiders!

Yep...I'll prob wait until senior bowl week, create another burner twitter account and go at them again - including Player A vs Player B stats to prove my point. If anyone wants to join me let me know lol.

If Carr doesn't come back in the game after pulling his groin, will Gruden turn to bust Mariota or Nate Peterman, who hasn't set the league on fire either. My bet is Mariota.

Easy call since much of the fake news media was predicting the bust Mariota would supplant Carr as the starter lol. The media and DWFs are nothing if not totally predictable.

Funny how the media was pushing Mariota over Carr and Winston over Hill isn't it? Meanwhile Wentz and Darnold are has beens and should be cast aside.

It should also be noted that the Chargers 1st round pick LB Kenneth Murray hasn't been much of an impact player. A white LB with his rookie performance would be lambasted by for having the same type of performance but Murray has really flown under the radar, free of much criticism. Another Big 12 black defender who ran a fast 40.

Bosa a complete non-factor in the first half, doesn't even seem to be playing a lot of snaps. I have him going on two fantasy teams in the playoffs, step it up Joey!

Damn skullshot on Renfrow...knocked him out.

I’m just happy he got up.....
It looked like he had his neck broken....
For those who didn’t see it, ugly shots of his head looking like it was snapped off....,

I don't think there was a flag on that play - his momentum had already been stopped and the LB came in full speed. I was relieved to see him get up too.

Man another blown coverage at a critical moment in the game. Reminiscient of the Ravens -Browns game on Monday night where the Browns dB blew the coverage to give up the game winning td.

Just an atrocious play by the CB, but it will quickly be forgotten. Even third graders know that you keep the receiver in front of you in that situation. Just imagine if it was Jeff Heath.
