The only reason I care about 4000 yards, is so people can shut up about it. 4k yards is such an unimportant stat. If you look balanced offenses; passing, rushing, sustained drives and TOP matter. We do well and are improving on those. When we get better in the red zone the offense will be unstoppable.

Fat Contracts...
I didn't know that back story and it does mean a lot. To Stingers point of why would the Raiders do that? The answer is simple: protect the new franchise QB while building the future.

Fat Contracts...
It's crazy how a couple weeks can change things. Grady Jarrett, Austin Booker, Luther Burden and Jahdae Walker have emerged. Grady Jarrett may be tradable now. Also, a DJ Moore trade seems more palatable.(I still like the Chris Jones theory. Here's another whacky thought. The Raiders are looking at drafting Mendoza with the first pick. Relating that to Tom Brady being involved, he'll push hard for OL improvement. With the emergence of Theo Benedet and the promise of Luke Newman, does that make Joe Thuney a trade asset. I know, coming from me, it's fat guy blasphemy. But, if you think about it, it's what winning organizations do. By moving Thuney, DJ and Grady, you lower the cap and gain assets in the right places. Lastly, just straight cut Edmunds if nobody bites on a trade.

Top 4 Receivers
I like Dexter, just not at 3 tech. He's not explosive or slippery. That was never a knock on Hicks. Put another 20 pounds on him and he may become a pro bowl 1 tech.

Colston Loveland
Not sure. I know he benefited from Detroit and New Orleans respective scouting departments. I'm sure BJ, DA and Rousher will be tremendous resources going forward.

I saw something on Caleb doing what they call the "Iceman". Coincidence or not, that motion means "bear" in sign language.

Draft Prospects
Dayo may not be ready to contribute. Coming off an achilles rupture, he may never be explosive again. I would also argue against move around pieces. We need positional dogs to create a pass rush.

Year 2 QB QBR Tracker
- The Ben Johnson Effect
I get you. There's always something you hope for, but sometimes have to get best available. Loveland was the guy. He seems like he's going to be a difference maker.- The Ben Johnson Effect
I don't know about that. The top OT's got picked before us, so Loveland was the guy. If we don't draft a penetrator, I'll be shocked.- Week 16 Official Game Thread - GB @ CHI, 7:20pm, SAT, 12/20, FOX, CHI +3
I could argue why you are wrong, but no need. We simply interpret the rule differently. It could go either way, period. Here's the rule... NFL Pass Interference (PI) is a penalty for illegally hindering a player's chance to catch a forward pass beyond one yard past the line of scrimmage, with defensive PI resulting in the ball placed at the spot of the foul (a "spot foul") plus an automatic first down, while offensive PI moves the ball back (usually 10 yards) and negates scores, with both types being difficult to officiate, leading to frequent controversy and inconsistent calls despite past experimental review rules. Key Aspects of Pass Interference Definition: An act by a player that significantly hinders an eligible player's opportunity to catch a forward pass, occurring more than one yard past the line of scrimmage. Offensive PI: An offensive player interferes with a defender. Often involves setting illegal blocks (picks) for teammates. Defensive PI: A defender impedes an offensive player from catching the ball. Penalties Offensive PI: 10-yard penalty from the previous spot, loss of down (or negates scores if on a scoring play). Defensive PI: Spot foul (ball placed where foul occurred) and automatic first down. Controversy & Rules Subjectivity: Pass interference is notoriously hard for officials to call consistently, leading to debates. Review Rule (Temporary): The NFL experimented with allowing coaches to challenge PI calls and non-calls in 2019 but did not make it a permanent rule. Recent Examples: Controversial calls on offensive pass interference in the final minutes of a 2025 Lions game highlighted ongoing debates about the rules' application, as noted by NFL.com and Detroit Free Press. Key Takeaway: While the rule aims to ensure fair play for receivers, the subjective nature of judging "significant hindrance" often creates inconsistent results, making it one of football's most debated penalties- Week 16 Official Game Thread - GB @ CHI, 7:20pm, SAT, 12/20, FOX, CHI +3
