Coach Talk

Raiders soul smasher
Whoa, Raiders soul smasher, you put the rest of the league on notice with this performance. In addition to a 36.1-point victory, you also climbed from 10th place to eighth in the league standings. Nice job!
MOBSQUAD
Wait, our starting QB tossed two interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? It might be good to go back and review the game tape: Were the Browns actually that strong against the pass, or did Joe Burrow seem flustered back there in the pocket? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of MOBSQUAD?
