Had a little extra time today so getting this one started early. Glancing through the schedule for this week I see a lot fewer of Leonardfan's favorite all-black quarterback matchups. The Thursday tilt will feature an interesting QB battle between Easton Stick of the Chargers and Aidan O'Connell of the Raiders. Really interested in seeing how Stick fares in his first start. Always fun to watch Mad Maxx Crosby and WTM Robert Spillane on defense for the Raiders. Better than watching the Chargers D without Bosa. Only DE Morgan Fox and LB Nick Niemann are in now and then on rotation.

I am rooting for both QBs to perform like our guys did on Sunday. Of course, the NFL media reported that Aidan is on a short leash and will be benched if he doesn’t play well. Meanwhile, Bryce Young has a 3-4 year leash and will surely get plenty of weapons this off-season to offset his lack of ability.

Watching the highlights of the Raiders from last weekend, I took notice of just how quick Hunter Renfrow is. I'm hoping he puts on a show tonight.

Since McLoser was fired, Renfrow's usage has gone up, but he still plays less than half of the offensive snaps. Hopefully O'Connell, who needs a good showing as he's on a very short leash, will make Hunter noticeable when he's in there.

Would like to see Maxx Crosby have another big game as he continues to play with a knee injury. Otherwise this could be a horribly played game even compared to the usual Thursday night farces. Besides Justin Herbert, Keenan Allen is out and Mike Williams has been out all year, so Easton Stick will be throwing to mostly scrub-level receivers. Maybe Alex Erickson will shine. He did play 66% of the snaps last week and he's definitely far from a scrub talent-wise.

RB Josh Jacobs is out for the Raiders, which makes it tougher for O'Connell. Maybe Michael Mayer will join Renfrow in having a good game. Trying to stay positive ahead of this likely penalty-filled, injury-filled snoozefest.

Excellent deep TD pass by O'Connell.

Edit: TD under review and it stands.

Glad to see O'Connell out their throwing the ball around! He's a solid QB and hopefully he gets a chance to compete for the job next season. He's shown more promise than Bryce Young that's for sure.

That Chargers offensive line is still terrible after all these years. It was bad in San Diego and somehow is still abysmal.

There's a lot of bad teams in the NFL thanks to the extremist Caste System that greatly restricts the talent pool from which players are drawn, but the Chargers have quickly become the worst.

In October 2021, Brandon Staley made a viral SJW speech after Jon Gruden lost his career over private e-mails. A textbook case of a white man kicking another white man when he was down all to elevate himself in the anti-white social order. Ironically he's now getting obliterated against the Raiders by an inexperienced black coach. What a fitting end to Staley's head coaching career.

Impressive performance by O’Connell. It’s a shame Renfrow only got two targets. I’d have to imagine that Staley is done after this season.
Renfrow technically made a catch on LV's opening drive but it was negated by an LA penalty. After that drive he pretty much disappeared and was only on the field sparingly.

The white-balling of Hunter Renfrow is egregious. Some goes from a stud in college at the highest level, then to a 1,000 yard receiver in the NFL and then all of a sudden… he is not longer worthy of targets??

And don’t even get me started on Zander Horvath’s situation. Like Ryan Nall, he is unfortunate in that the NFL was never allow a big, strong white running back to completely emasculate the blacks defenders that every team is littered with a la Peyton Hillis.

THAT is an image that the media and league simply CANNOT have ever again.

Alex Erickson with a TD.
Nice he’s always been underrated. He’s good enough to be someone’s 3rd/4th WR year in and out. Plus he’s as good as a returner as you’ll find in NFL. He’s going on 30 but I’d say he’s still relatively fresh, from serving his league wide racial apprenticeships.

Renfrow was one catch away from the single season Raider record in 2021. Instead of playing in 2022 on the last year of his rookie deal, he signed a 2 year extension taking him into 2024.

He was injured much of 2022 and then the Raiders signed Jakobi Myers. Trading him mid-season this year proved difficult as he carried a high cap hit.

So, other than a few targets here and there, it looks like he will have to play out 2024 and then take a low salary contract due to his poor stats and him being 28 by then. Total screw job.

Great take. Yes white football players have to be near perfect in college & especially in the nfl to keep their jobs. Injuries always
seem to destroy whites careers far more than blacks careers. It must be that magical smile and upside.
