Trade Deadline is today, right?

[Midswat]

Anyone thinks we make any sort of move?

 

[Theebs]

Romo to raiders for two ones and a two...

And al Davis's pot of gold and pirate ship.

I all honesty, to use a baseball term w should be sellers not buyers.

We are a pretty average to below average team at this point and there is no use giving up picks for anyone. Getting rid of choice would be great, Bennett too, but that will not happen now that jones is hurt and our line is awful and Bennett is basically an extra tackle.

Pretty sad state of affairs out in Irving if you ask me. I still can't believe Garrett bailed on romo the way he did..

 

[Midswat]

Romo to raiders for two ones and a two...

All joking aside... I'd do that deal in a heartbeat.

If we are just going to keep losing and the head coach/ offensive coordinator is going to not trust the qb I wouldnt care at this point either. It's probably one bad loss from going off the cliff.

 

[Sheik]

Choice needs to GTFO.

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Choice needs to GTFO.

I predict we get a 6th for him today.

 

[Midswat]

Choice needs to GTFO.

Calvin Watkins twatted yesterday that the Cowboys wanted "anything" for him, but that no one was interested.

I mean, if Lloyd only nets a 6th, then yeah, I don't think there's a market for Choice.

I agree... I'm hoping he's cut at this point. I'd rather go with Murray/Tanner.

You mean to tell me that they'll do WORSE than Choice? Running out of bounds as we're trying to run the clock out against Washington? Fumbling the ball when we're in scoring position against the Patriots?

I'd love to know how you think we're an average to below average team. We're just as good as the best teams in the league. We've pretty clearly proved that by being in position to beat several great teams already. Are only problem is closing out games right now. The majority of that is on Romo and Garrett. They need to get their shit together quick and figure it out, because we're wasting alot of talent on this team right now. We could very easily be 4-1 or 5-0 right now.

We're very good.

If we could just figure out how to beat other teams, we'd be even better.

 

[Midswat]

Raiders are sending a 2012 #1 and a future pick to Cincinatti for Carson Palmer.

Not sure what to think of this trade.

We are not a good team. I thought we were also but the last two weeks have shown me very clearly that we have all kinds of problems. Th staff has issues, the staff has issues with the qb, the offensive line is lousy and with a banged up kosher it will only get worse, Bryant is about to become a problem and ware has a back issue.

I hope I am wrong, because I felt completely different two weeks ago, but now it seems as if the wheels are primed to come off just like last year.

Again I hope I am wrong, it kills me when this team loses, but they don't know how to win, plain and simple.

 

[RoyTheHammer]

Our big problems are the QB and HC need to get their shit together. If we learn how to closeout games, we're as good or better than any team in this league. We've put ourselves in very good positions to beat several of the leagues top teams now, so we know we can hang with the best in the league. Just need the HC and franchise QB to get their heads out of their asses and figure out how to utilize all of the weapons we have on offense.

Again, say what you will about the OL, but Romo had alot of time to throw again Sunday.

Still not sure what you're talking about with Dez. Ware will be fine though.

I give them props for getting him. He still is 31 and has 5-7 years left in him. You know what you are getting from him and I like what the Raiders have moving forward.

It's. Not just the qb and hc. They have had their moments, it's the whole team. Critical mistakes from the defense, special teams and offensive line have cost us games.

We are just not that good. A unit like the offensive line playing well for a qtr or two doesn't make it a good unit,same goes for the defense.

Th only thing that is solid right now is the kicker and the punt and kick coverage.

This is what average to below average teams look like.

What critical mistakes to cost us a game have the defense and/or ST made?

Is this a serious question?

Blocked punt against the jets to tie the game....ring a bell?

The defense giving up 3 length of the field drives to either allow the other team to tie or go ahead against ny,ne and Detroit.

Frank walker interference call in the end zone allowing the Detroit drive to go on and instead of a fg they Get a Td on the next play.

I mean come on? The whole team makes critical errors at critical times. There is not one reliable element of this team when it matters most.

The defense has played alot better than you want to give them credit for, imo. The blocked punt was an outlier, not the norm.

The big problem on this team continues to be the offensive unit. The defense held the Pats to 20 points. You should win 99 games out of 100 if you do that.

 

[Maveric]

Detroit's a good team who, other than last week, has been doing that to everybody they've played. And New England, is, well, New England. You can't really blame the defense too much for either, especially New England, since they never should have been put in that situation in the first place.

 

[carphalen5150]

Yep...to even hint that the defense is a contributing factor to the underwhelming season is stupid.

played well in both games for sure, did enough to win against det and new england, but in the end we needed them to go on the field and win just like we needed the offense to get on the field and beat ny and ne.

neither unit has been able to do it. We got one good finish from the defense against washington and one good finish from the offense against sf.

neither unit is reliable. Its not stupid to think they have had their problems also, they have overcome alot and have looked spectacular at times but just like in the past under wade and parcells when that unit is on the field to finish a game they have failed more than they have succeeded.

I dont blame the defense for the pats loss at all, but they still contributed by not playing a full complete game. Just like the offense has not.
