Jones versus O'Connell?

Has there ever been a 4-2 final score?

It's kind of disgusting that the NFL allows for this.  There are a lot of mid-season firings and benchings that make sense.  I don't think anyone here would say that firing McDaniels and the GM is "wrong".  But benching Garapolo REEKS of tanking.  I would love to see the NFL change the draft to a lottery, weighted in favor of the "bad" teams but it would ensure tanking doesn't have the same effect.

Tanks alot..RAIDERS. Guess Bowl Cut Davis is all in the QB sweepstakes 2024. Cards and Skins also on board.

I digress... PEYTON flaunting his bowl cut look on The Manning Show was hilarious!

Did you see Jimmy G play last week?  You could make a strong case playing him would be more tank-alicious than benching him.  At least the kid has something to play for!

If the Raiders are tanking that's a sad statement on us, as they're actually favored in this game. And we're actually trying to win.

Yup. Giants should win but the art of victory is more elusive than ever. Perhaps the RAIDERS respond to Pierce.. :hmm:

Heard that ownership wanted to bench Jimmy G and play O'Connell and the GM and HC said no on the radio.  Not sure the reporter who said it knew for sure though.
