**Chargers at Raiders -3.5(52)** Thurs Night Football (1 Viewer)

[Shatner!]

Just noticed I'm playing against Ekeler in both my leagues and Keenan Allen in one.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Marcus mariota looks like he’s 45 years old

 

[need2know]

Oregon  qb faceoff!

 

[mbrasi]

Well, Carr is the reason I made it this far in relief for Brees.  Having my team be screwed before the weekend surely sucks though.  Oh well,  drink up

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Going to be interesting to see how Mariota audibles (or not).

Carr has become really masterful -- wonder if Mariota brings that same skill, or whether they go with more of a straight-call offense out of the huddle.

Can't recall what Mariota's audible game was while in TEN.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Peterman is the backup. Pretty appropriate given the circumstances 

Mariota on IR

Yep my bad, looks like Mariota is next up

 

[rick6668]

Oh, Peterman? This is the guy Gruden was going to save off the scrap heap after his four-plus interception day in BUF?

Peterman's 5 picks came against the Chargers.

 

[Gottabesweet]

Mariota going to kill Waller playoff teams.  

 

[TripleThreat]

Starting Herbert and was soo hopeful for an over game... 

 

[Man In The Box]

Mariota going to kill Waller playoff teams.  

Yep. Writing the eulogy as we speak

 

[rockaction]

Let's go Mariota!

Wanna see some of that Oregon magic.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

"Herbert took over from Mariota two years after Mariota graduated."

Well, that's not exactly taking over from Mariota, is it?

 

[rockaction]

Let's not write the eulogy on Raider skill position players yet.

Still got a really good line and a threat at RB.

 

[-OZ-]

Oh my God. Mariota. Are we watching to see if broad sides of barns get hit? I don't think they will.

Looking solid so far

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Mariota going to kill Waller playoff teams.  

Yeah, let's just wait and see, shall we?

Waller is by far the Raiders' best receiver. He'll be targeted regardless.

 

[whole-show]

Marcus mariota looks like he’s 45 years old

Actually looking like he’s 24 on this first drive lol. Not saying it’s going to stay this way but he’s looking really good right now. 

 

[Gottabesweet]

Let's not write the eulogy on Raider skill position players yet.

Still got a really good line and a threat at RB.

They gonna go run heavy and when Mariota looks to throw his internal clock is to bail on good pockets.  

 

[rockaction]

Looking solid so far

Yep. My guess would be inaccuracy, but I've been wrong before.

 

[whole-show]

Yeah, let's just wait and see, shall we?

Waller is by far the Raiders' best receiver. He'll be targeted regardless.

Good call!!

 

[SDJohnny]

What's happening?

 

[Gottabesweet]

I apologize.  All hail Mariota?  

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Yep. Writing the eulogy as we speak

Not so fast 

 

[rockaction]

So much for that Waller eulogy!

 

[rick6668]

Mariota going to kill Waller playoff teams.  

I guess not

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Mariota

 

[TripleThreat]

They got some juice! 

 

[Chadstroma]

A medium ball thrown well. His big issue was always long ball accuracy, no? That was well thrown. 

 

[LordHusker]

As a Waller owner, I am pleased.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Wow, Mariota out there dropping dimes. Some REAL nice throws in that drive.

 

[-OZ-]

Mariota going to kill Waller playoff teams.  

Or, not?

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Mariota going to kill Waller playoff teams.  

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

C'mon D, time to show how adequate you can be.

 

[Chadstroma]

What's happening?

Our offense is moving like it has almost all season long. 

Still going to have to worry about our D

 

[Chadstroma]

C'mon D, time to show how adequate you can be.

How 'adequate' you can be.  Way to keep expectations in check! 

 

[-OZ-]

Wow, Mariota out there dropping dimes. Some REAL nice throws in that drive.

It's good to see. The guy had something go really wrong in Nashville but he has talent.

 

[heckmanm]

How are these squads at defending the TE position? I have either/both Waller and Henry in 3 different leagues.

Well this is a nice start 

 

[need2know]

What a throw

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Mariota going to kill Waller playoff teams.  

They gonna go run heavy and when Mariota looks to throw his internal clock is to bail on good pockets.  

You may want to slow the roll on the predictions for at least a quarter, there GB.

 

[Gottabesweet]

I wonder if Carr gets hurt if he rolls out to the side with Waller.  He was trying to get old man Witten to move but he wouldn’t and had to put on the brakes. 

 

[Chadstroma]

Mariota playing hard. He knows he needs to show something to have a chance to revive his career. That was a good hard run... not sure I would want my starting QB to finish the run like that but go for it Mariota! 

Good accuracy from him. Can he keep that up? Low 60's even into the 50's completion percentage has been his issue. 

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

It's good to see. The guy had something go really wrong in Nashville but he has talent.

He was really good to start, and had a great line IIRC, he just seemed to fall apart and make really poor decisions in his last year or two there. It was a real unfortunate decline.

Hope he stays on the money, we need him to be great in this game.

 

[rockaction]

The Chargers did lose by at least 35 to NE a week or so ago. They're not very good.

 

[Gottabesweet]

This secondary looks lost. 

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Littleton has been a real disappointment this year for the Raiders.

 

[rockaction]

Herbert really is a big-time QB. Shoot.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

This secondary looks lost. 

First time watching the Raiders this past decade?

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

No flags on the retaliation?

 

[Gottabesweet]

“Two teams that simply don’t like eachother” 

thanks Troy. 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Herbert really is a big-time QB. Shoot.

Definitely 

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

Those right there are the plays that kill us. QB in grasp, hit a receiver for first down.
