Who Are We Rooting For This Week?

I'm not sure if having 2 teams ahead of us by 1 game is better than 1 team ahead by 2.
Either way you gotta take care of business.

those are things we can't control.

what we can control is ourselves, we need to start winning (especially these next 2 divisional games).

We play both of them twice yet. If we win those four games we essentially have a two game lead on each of them. Plus, they have to play each other twice, so one of them would drop back another game yet.

We just got to take care of our own games.

True. Unfortunately, based on what I've seen to date, I don't have the warm and fuzzy that we can beat anyone in the AFCN. We need drastic improvement on offense to win even half of those games.

One game at a time. Fingers crossed for tonight.

Win tomorrow and suddenly we are only one game out of first place in the AFC North, with a matchup with the Ravens on tap at Heinz next weekend. Things can change that quickly.

We're lucky that the division isn't good this year (although we look pretty bad too).

I think that the D is actually not bad, but the O needs to be able to score some points and hold onto the ball for a bit.

If we can get on track tonight, maybe we can make something of this season.

And if we lose...at least we know we don't really have to get emotionally invested in the last 12 games.

Really you dont think the Ravens and Browns are good?

NFL announces Vontaze Burfict suspended for rest of season

Posted by Michael David Smith on September 30, 2019, 11:52 AM EDT

The NFL has had enough with Raiders linebacker Vontaze Burfict.

Burfict, who has previously been suspended repeatedly for illegal hits and was ejected for a helmet-to-helmet blow yesterday, has been suspended for the rest of the season, the league announced this morning.

“There were no mitigating circumstances on this play,” NFL V.P. of Football Operations Jon Runyan said in a letter to Burfict. “Your contact was unnecessary, flagrant and should have been avoided. For your actions, you were penalized and disqualified from the game. Following each of your previous rule violations, you were warned by me and each of the jointly-appointed appeal officers that future violations would result in escalated accountability measures. However, you have continued to flagrantly abuse rules designed to protect yourself and your opponents from unnecessary risk. Your extensive history of rules violations is factored into this decision.”

Burfict’s suspension is without pay, and will also cover the postseason if the Raiders make it. He does have the right to appeal.
