Also this is completely false and honestly pretty scumbag by Schefter for releasing some fake bullshit 90 minutes before the game. Fucking bush league as all fuck.

"one league source" LMAO.... Thanks for the hot take of the day Schefter... Jackass

Carr is terrible and so is his awful contract....

Yea prolly, I’ve barely watched any raiders games but he tore Cleveland up. And I know he used to be good, far better than any other qb from that draft class

Are you opposed to them starting Kessler?

Nope, I said after they benched Bortles in that 2nd half a couple weeks ago that Kessler should have been the guy going forward, simply because benching somebody and going right back to them is a bad look. You benched him to try and set an example, then you go right back to him.. Just doesn't look good.

Problem is, I know, just like the coaches know, it isn't all Bortles' fault. He has never been good enough to carry a team on his back and now he has an Offense that's shredded with injuries. Asking him to carry a healthy Offense is laughable, let alone this make shift group.

I honestly don't know if Kessler would last behind this OL. I think it'd just be a matter of time before he got injured from the beating he'd take. You can knock on Bortles for a lot of things, but dude is as tough as they come. Dude isn't afraid to put his body on the line. He's taken some crazy hits in his career and he has keeps getting up.

One thing that would help this shredded OL, that Kessler most definitely would bring to the table is a much quicker release. Kessler's quick release would definitely help us out some, but he's limited in a lot of areas. I think he'd fit this Offense well though. They want short, quick and accurate passes. He could definitely provide that, since that's his complete make up/play style.

This game was fucking with me. Normally I love seeing teams try to run against the Steelers because they dominate up front. Tuitt was out but that doesn't mean the other players didn't get manhandled and taken care. I was getting flashbacks from the two games last season....

I don't think many QB's would have survived behind that O-line play in the passing game though. The Steelers have a decent pass rush but they were coming in basically untouched at times.

Bortles was pressured/hit on like 80% of his drop backs today, it was terrible. You guys adjusted at the half and shut down our run game.

I still don't understand why this idiot OC doesn't run Bortles more. Bortles has like the 3rd highest rushing average of all time, and is 3rd in the league for rushing as a QB this season. They should have ran the QB option multiple times in the 2nd half. We hardly ever run the option and I literally don't understand why. You guys had zero respect for Bortles in the run game and were crashing down on the RB hard, every single time. If they call for Bortles to keep the ball even twice, it would have made it easier for us to run the ball in the 2nd half.

Bortles running is what won you that playoff game against Pittsburgh imo. It was so frustrating watching him run all over us. I think he almost had like 80+ rushing yards iirc. If there is one thing I hate it's getting ran all over by a QB and it seems to happen to Pittsburgh a lot.

Bortles had 88 rushing yards against the Bills in the playoffs last year (only 87 passing yards lolololol). That game had 20-30mph winds though. His legs were a big reason why we won that game.

He had like 40 rushing yards against you guys in that playoff game last year. Pretty sure he picked up a couple big first downs in that game with his legs though.

The worst part about today's game. Literally our last series, I called out for them to run the QB option with Bortles on that last 3rd down. You guys were crashing the RBs hard all 2nd half. Romo then said the same exact thing about running the option, right after I said it and it was wide open. If Bortles holds that ball and runs, instead of handing it off, he keeps up the first down and easily another 20+ yards. The game would have been over at point. Instead they don't call it and here we are.

It is what it is though. The league wanted you guys to win, it was blatantly clear in the officiating in the 2nd half. You guys are a much better story for the league at 7-2-1 (winning 6 straight now after struggling the first couple weeks), than we would be at 4-6 coming off of 5 straight losses (6 now).

One of the most bogus and worse calls I've seen and they still fined him LMAO. This is a classic example why the ratings and viewership is in a huge downward spiral for the NFL and nothing is going to change. The NFL is going to continue on this downfall and I wont be surprised when the NFL is at the bottom of all major sports in the next 5-10 years.
