Defense is better..... but they still suck on the back end.  Back 7 still can't cover.

Of course, still not good. But much better than before, which is better than horrific.

that was weird. 

we didn't call a fair catch and Vegas never tried to catch the ball in the air.   Its like neither team knew what to do.

Vegas can’t catch it in the air right? Has to bounce first? And yeah Pickens could have called for a fair catch.

Edit: I remember a play from OKST a few years ago where our guy fair caught an onside kick because the kicker lofted it instead of bouncing it off the turf.

They could have, but they didn't look like they understood it...... Just has to go 10 yards.

But when Pickens waived for fair catch, then they have to allow Dallas to field it..... so in that instance, no.

oh. I figured that kicking team can always catch it in the air if they want as long as the receiving team doesn't call a fair catch.

This is the play I remember. Fair catch call worked because the kicker lofted it instead of bouncing it off the turf. A free kick punt should work the same way.

Also announcers are morons. It wasn’t a high bounce” he kicked it high straight off the tee, no bounce off the turf.

I missed Pickens raising his arm.  I guess that was a fair catch signal but it wasn't real obvious.

It's the shitass Raiders, but I'm liking what I see from the refurbished defense. 

Bland is playing much better, likely a large degree because what's going on in front of him.

Even Murray has made some nice plays, not having to read the run in the middle, but going after shit.

It's a shame they couldn't have had all these guys all season or they might have a couple more wins. 

Still some help to come with the young guys still working their way up to speed.

yeah injuries early this year, given the schedule was not good.  running into a buzzsaw after this game.

What an effin pussy. Punch it in here. Do you think Cheaty Petey is taking a knee if the situation was reversed?

Petey gave nepo baby lil Schotty his big break.  He's not going to embarrass him.

Dak spinning at a 79% completion rate with 4 TDs....so far

But he fumbled early and therefore sucks, especially compared to the great Sam Darnold who never turns it over lol.

Dak tends to stat pad against bad teams. So let’s not get too carried away.

Of course they could’ve caught it. It went 10 yards. But it was high as shit, and they were waiting for Pickens or whomever to bobble the ball.  It was a weird poorly executed play  

Pickens did call for fair catch at the 38 where he fielded it off the hop and ran OOB at the 35. And they spotted it where he caught it, at the 38.

You must be correct and because it was so high they backed off. If Pickens did that intentionally, smart play.

All QBs tend to stat pad against bad teams..... at least the good ones who are good enough to do so.  But if you want to get technical, Dak had the best QB day vs the Raiders all season.  That includes games against Maye, Herbert, Mahomes, and Nix.  So, let's not get too carried away with not getting too carried away.

he shines against bad teams and during garbage time of losses.  he’s useless.  when the pressure is on and the games matter his nuts retreat into his stomach and he starts laying eggs like the bitch that he is.  he is fucking trash.
