This the 2nd half open thread and discussion of the Raiders-Jags matchup. As usual, comment below the post on your thoughts on the game.
Q4
OAK 33 JAX 16
The end to a quarter that seemed like it lasted forever. You can thank the penalties for that. The run by Marquette King in this quarter, what a call. That could've spelled disaster, but King's athleticism is seriously underrated. The Raiders took the "take no prisoners" mentality to heart and decided to run up the score to make seem like this game is close as indicated on the scoreboard. But, we finally get that decisive win where all three phases dominated this game and definitely a great bounce-back win after a terrible loss to the Chiefs last week. More to come in the full recap.
Q3
OAK 23 JAX 9
To quote the late Dennis Green in a spin off quote: "the Jags are who we thought they were." They don't have a running game and the O-line is not great. The defense is doing a good job making Bortles one-dimensional. Like the Raiders' offense, pre-snap penalties, holding penalties, and dropped balls derail the Jags' offense. And this is leading to offensive coordinator Greg Olson to call conservative plays much to the dismay of the Jaguar fans. Oh, I feel their pain.
