Watched the first half of the raiders game, was really more interested in seeing Carr in game action since the NFL seems to be all up in his jock compared to Bortles. He doesn't look nearly as good as Bortles. He's decent, but definitely not as good as Bortles when it comes to the kind of skill and attitude to take over a game.

 

As for the tacks, I can't say I was impressed with them, more like I was unimpressed with the Raiders. The "long" pass to Sharp in the first quarter was a prime example of mariota's "big play" ability. A defender jumped for the INT and let it go between his hands and the secondary let a guy get completely behind them who was 10 yards past the line of scrimmage.

 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the titans aren't concerning to me right now. They've wasted a lot of draft picks, but they have a lot more coming, so some better direction and coaching could get them moving in a better direction, but the "let's run the ball harder" mantra is very difficult to implement successfully in the current NFL.
