What was up with that 2 minute drive at the end of the 1st half? Wilson kept throwing short and inbounds like they had time to waste when they didn’t. They got bailed out by a DB tripping into a receiver, but I couldn’t decide if they were just content to get out of the half or what. [Reply]

The defense really does suck. The Raiders had 5 true drives all game. Technically 7, but they ran the clock out at the end, and the other "drive" was the last play before halftime. They punted once, and the only other possession that didn't end with points was a 13-play, clock-devouring drive that ended with a fluke goal line TO.

Hackett had plenty of faults, but the one that bothered me the most was making Russ use a playbook meant for Rodgers without any changes. Now it looks like we have a playbook meant for Brees without any changes. I simply can’t fathom not using Russ’ legs. [Reply]
