Silver and Blecch

Christ, this is getting old. And enough of the big "debate" over whether to throw the kid in the deep end. The season's done, so there's nothing to lose, but the o-line blows, the receivers are slow and don't bother to get open, and the defense plays stout for the first 55 minutes, then reliably finds a way to give it back. (Of seven losses, this is the fifth one where they blew a 4th-quarter lead. In nine total games. Big pattern there.) It's one thing to give a new guy some hands-on experience, but another to just dump him into a situation beyond his control.

They did contain Devin Hester's returns superbly, but the score was still 17-6 at the end. You could have yanked any eleven drunken goons from the stands and put up six points and 180 yards of offense.

Only the Raiders could have given Rex Fucking Grossman his job back. That's how rock-bottom this team is in almost every phase of the game.
