OILERMAN Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 This was one of the tougher early game and the Sims injury def ended up hurting them. They cannot afford to get in another hole early in the season though. But the division still looks more than winnable. A few points. The onside kick was fine, already discussed it. Bad defense vs a good offense you need to limit possessions. Murray is done, I honestly believe it's already clear. He killed them in running situations. I even think he looked sluggish and slow on the long run. If you're going to have a power rushing scheme you can't have a RB that ineffective. They were way better with Henry. He might suffer in pass pro but overall it's still better. The 3rd and short play by Murray he looked like he had a piano on his back. #30 for the Raiders ran the exact same play late in the game and got the 1st down that pretty much sealed the game. Mariota wasn't really bad but Carr was way better. Mariota missed some deep passes and was slightly off on others. Even some of his completions the pass catchers weren't able to get yards after the catch. The Raiders offense took off in the 2nd half because Carr was deadly accurate. He hit several pass catchers in perfect stride and the TD to Roberts was perfect. The biggest problem with the defense was they played so much man coverage and didn't pressure Carr enough. That's an impossible combo. I actually thought Jackson played great for his first ever start against those WRs. Cyprien was the problem, beaten and missed tackles all day. Davis was limited and he looked lost a few times. His talent is undeniable though, he's a legit #1 WR. I talked defense all off season. I was against a WR at 5 and wanted them all over defense. There is no doubt in my mind they would have been better off drafting Adams at 5. Byard does not make all the mistakes Cyprien did today had he been the SS today. STs was still mediocre. We'll know more over a bigger sample size. Not the end of the world in the grand scheme Justafan, and tgo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bongo59 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Sims injury was a non factor. Total non factor. Jackson and Ryan played well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post titanruss Posted September 10, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 You're insane. Mularkey fucked this game to pieces. The offense had no rhythm and was disjointed. Mularkey forced mariota into bad spots and mariota saved us all the first half. Theres no way to keep that up all game.

Bongo59 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 This game was all too conservative on offense. Oak came out aggressive and went empty a lot to move the ball. They did not have anything deep but they stressed the D. TN should have done the same and they did not.

Bongo59 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 The D played fine.......I think the coaches will have a lot to look at in this game. No adjustments.......to what Oak did. Carr was 80% on 3 step drops and DL was playing off. Bad idea. Cooper had a horrible game. He had 5 drops. titanruss, and SuperFreak90 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongo59 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 3 drops on three straight plays against Jackson in the endzone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post titanruss Posted September 10, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Agree with bongo. Sims injury mattered almost nada. Onsides kick was retarded. Let's tell this team we are afraid of them from the get go and then give them the ball to start the game. Even if we get it, people are excited but call it a dumbass play. efus50, Tim, Mythos27, and 4 others 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bongo59 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Not one. Longest play was a pass to Walker in endzone out of bounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 The onside kick hurt quite a bit. Glad we drafted Davis. Agree with the rest. Titansgoodluckcharm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bongo59 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Davis and Taylor need to play outside and threaten D's.......Decker is a slot only guy. Decker just flat out sucked today. And so did Jonnu. mmmmmbeeer, and XAEA12 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercalius Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Our pass rush didn't do enough, tackling was a mess, and our run game was a detriment - putting us in 2nd and 3rd and long too often. Add that up and it leads to losses against good teams. titansfb, tgo, and OILERMAN 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
