NFL Week 14: Jim Harbaugh's first number

STARTING?

 

No shit.

Last two years they were 8-8. Before that they lost at least 11 games seven years in a row.

They are going to be this bad until Tommy Boy gives up and sells the rest of the team.

 

That graphic NFLN put up showing the six Raiders top 10 picks in the last decade was pretty damning. That's the real problem with the team - they have some decent talent who would normally be decent picks if they weren't taken in the 1st Round. Almost every pick was a miss.
Even the ones still with the team have been doubles at best.

And what was with all the shots of SF tonight? Glad to see the shot of the Oakland Zoo but really? Union Square? Coit Tower?

 

Oh, yeah. Hope everyone took the Broncos -10.5 last night.

 

To be fair, the best part of Oakland is that it's next to SF.

 

There are many perfectly suitable beauty shots in Oakland and the rest of the East Bay. Hell, the Oakland and Berkeley Hills are as nice as it gets in this country. However, I'll bet any amount of money the NFL Network crew spent their time in a San Francisco hotel.

 

The legacy of Al Davis.

 

I'm trying to remember the place we always stayed at when the team I covered played the Raiders. It was this resort-like hotel that I think technically was in Berkeley. It was one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in. I stayed there while traveling with three different NFL teams over the years... Yeah, needless to say it was not in downtown Oakland.

 

It's between Luck and RG3. No one else should get a vote. And there's plenty of time for everyone to flip back and forth a few times, which will happen. Unless one or the other completely tanks over the final quarter of the season.

Right now, it's REALLY close. Luck has more wins and is going to the playoffs. RG3 has way better stats and has the Redskins still in contention for the NFC East title in December. If they both make the playoffs, shit, just pick a name out of a hat.

When do they vote on this?

 

Martin's had a fabulous year.

 

So has Wilson. If people thing the Seahawks are protecting him or he is some kind of game manager they haven't watched the Seahawks in the last 6 games or so.

I think Griffin should win this hands down at this point.

 

Wilson has had a great season. And aside from the yardage difference, his stats are a lot better than Luck, who leads the league in INTs. Just bad timing for Wilson. But he's been damn good.
