I step away from the television to go to the bathroom with the score tied, thinking the game would go into overtime; only to come back to find that the Ravens have marched down the field and kicked the winning field goal.
March for Arch is now a full blown odyssey!

Players aren’t used to being hit anymore. Less practice with pads and don’t protect themselves because they think the rules do. That and while the helmets are getting bigger, the rest of the pads have shrunk to a ridiculous degree.

When I look at archive footage from the 80's & 90's, I'm amazed at how big the padding was then compared to today. I get that they favor mobility and maneuverability over protection these days, but they seem to have forgotten that football is, first and foremost, a full-contact sport. I'm assuming, though, that the pads have newer kinds of materials that absorb and redistribute kinetic energy better than the old rigs did, but physics are physics. Some things cannot be mitigated completely.
And yeah, those helmets with the external padding look really strange to me - like a "Don't take the cork off the fork, Ruprecht" kind of situation.
Extra points to anyone who catches that reference.

Now Baker Mayfield is out. Will miss at least three weeks with a dislocated thumb. Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels takes over at QB.
So how many starting QBs is that through three weeks? Sam Darnold, Jaxson Dart, Jayden Daniels, Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Michael Penix (although he was hurt before the season began), Caleb Williams.

May I take your trident, sir?
Well, Raiders are 3-0 with two wins on the road. We were 3-0 a few years ago and made the playoffs and got booted in the first round. But this really doesn't feel like THAT 3-0. This seems more like the start of something.
What is going on with the Raiders really emphasizes the importance of good coaching and good quarterbacking. Raiders haven't had both in the same season since we had Gruden and Rich Gannon back in the early 2000's.
Our run game still needs work. But one thing I can see happening at some point this season, is Mike Washington Jr. taking over the starting running back job from Ashton Jenty. Never trust those little a-holes from Boise State.
Washington averaged over 10 yards per carry on 5 carries.
Defense played well overall considering the Saints, I think, had been pretty good offensively.

And I think it shows what Klint Kubiak brought to the Seahawks as Offensive Coordinator that they struggled yesterday against the Commanders with their ground game.
I'm thinking you guys are going to be fine. Scored 31 points with Darnold still knocking off the rust.
Let's go Dalton.
Turns out Dalton wasn't in for very long. Hurts got taken out, was cleared, returned.
