Yeah, Raiders lost because Carr didn't outplay Mahomes in BOTH games this year. Last game was a case of who had the ball last with any time on the clock wins.
If the Raiders D was even average, we sweep y'all. Hell, if 3/4's of our D wasn't on the COVID list and we weren't missing three starters on D we probably sweep y'all.
Happy clinging to your visions of the past.
It always makes me laugh to hear the talking heads comment about how Carr outplayed Mahomes. You’re right in your comments and if not for the refs and a bad route by Robinson the Chiefs would have won both games by double digits. The Raiders’ best game is no where near our best game. [Reply]
I'm pretty convinced that this year is an outlier for Carr. I have just about zero confidence that he can keep up this kind of performance year in and year out. [Reply]

He was pretty good last year for the most part, especially compared to previous years. [Reply]

Has Carr ever won a big game in cold weather?
That will be the tell-tale...
Raider fans want to pretend they played the Chiefs with Watkins...and KC still averaged 33 PPG.
Chiefs were up 21-10 when he was in the game...then ref-ball. Without a holding call...it's 28-10.
Funny, Raiders had 1 offensive holding call, total, through both games...Chiefs had seven. [Reply]

Carr is a sports car. Give him good road and he'll haul ass. Put him in the mud and he'll sit there like a lump.
His O-line protects him well and he has that extra millisecond to process and deliver. Get to him and he folds like a cheap suit. Reminiscent of Whitlock's BFF Jeff George. Or more recently, a healthy Dak behind that monster line of his. [Reply]
