Wow. On both sides of the ball I was awe-struck.
10 Things I Liked:
- The offensive line has started to click these last two games
- WR Demaryius Thomas is started to look like his Pro Bowl self
- The play action worked, in large part due to a decent running game
- LG Evan Mathis is starting to show why he’s been in the Pro Bowl
- DE Derek Wolfe is devouring the run game
- 50 yards allowed passing
- 2.0 yards per pass allowed
- A safety, but it could’ve been much worse for the Packers
- 500 total offensive yards (yes, seriously)
- No sacks on Manning
10 Things I Didn’t Like:
- Defensive penalties
- Offensive interception
- No defensive turnovers
- RB Lacy gained an average of 4.3 yards per carry
- We still lack a red zone threat in the passing game (maybe Vernon Davis will fix this)
- We gave up 4 first downs on penalties
- LG Max Garcia didn’t fare well blocking the pass rush
- It shouldn’t have taken us this many games to score offensively in the first quarter
- Losing LT Ty Sambrailo for the season
- The Raiders have a winning season so far
