What I expected to happen in the Raiders game went according to plan. Sure at one point they were behind but experience and coaching did what I expected. Jeanty didn't have the breakout game but had the ball a lot 19 carries for only 38 but more importantly he had a TD. If you look at the stats TOP was 30 seconds advantage to NE. They ran 6 more plays but had 53 less overall total yards. Both teams penalized 9 times and each had 1 turnover. It came down to the small things and that's how the Raiders won this SU!
Arizona in my eyes deserved to lose. I will say NO backers on the spread 6.5 were screwed to some extent. Arizona up 20-10 attempts a FG but it was blocked. Instead of the score going to 23-10 it stayed 20-10. New Orleans came down and rather than having to go for a TD down 23-10 they settled for a FG at the Arizona 5 to make it what the final ended up 20-13.
NO had more first downs, ran more plays, had more total yards, had more passing yards, were only out rushed by 39 yards. Had 4 more penalties (13) and more penalty yards (35) than Arizona. Neither team had a turnover. All of this took place with NO having the ball over 7.5 minutes less.
Did I mention AZ had one sack in the game. NO had FIVE, yes FIVE !!!!
If I showed you stats and didn't tell you which team was which, I'd think the majority would think NO won or at least covered.
I mentioned how I thought AZ had the huge QB edge and on paper before the game there was no doubt about it, however I was impressed with Rattler and he out played Murray.
This is how close it was........ Arizona escaped..........
Well now it's time to unload..........
If you watched the Miami game, you had to be asking yourself this simple question.......... Why isn't Miami prepared? This team looked like they just took the field for the first time ever. They made Daniel Jones look like HOF QB. Jones was 22/29 for 272 yards and 1 TD pass.
What did Tua do? Oh yes he had 1 TD pass, it was 30-0 when he had it. He was 14 of 23 with 2 interceptions and a fumble. He threw for a grand total of 114 yards. 114 yards! Indy rushed for 156 yards.......
Total yards 418-211 in favor of Indy. Indy ran 70 plays to only 46 for Miami. They had the ball for nearly 39 minutes of the game. Each team had the ball a total of only 7 possessions....... yes you read that right 7 which is ultra below a normal average.
There were too many errors, too many little things missed that added up huge for Indy. They couldn't cover receivers, they couldn't tackle, they looked so out of sorts, I put this all on the coach. Yes players make the plays or don't make them, but this was such a bad overall performance all around. Losing 33-8 isn't a game with effort put into it and that starts with the coach. He should feel on the hot seat already, he hasn't proven to be the right guy for Miami or anyone for that fact. I don't say this because they cost us the win, it was literally a disaster.
