fade!

Cook VS Osweiler. Part of me hopes the rookie beats the overpaid bum QB.

I would enjoy that also. Cook isn't a bad QB, just a rough situation starting your first game in the playoffs. At least its against Houston!

He goes 2 weeks ago from not even getting a sniff of the field, to being thrown into this situation. At least he gets to take snaps behind one of the better lines in the NFL. If they can establish a run game, no reason they can't still this game.

Im still going with the Raiders in this one,dont trust Osweiler.

funnyb25 · 01-04-17, 03:18 PM

Might be unwatchable. BOL

BigdaddyQH · 01-04-17, 03:37 PM

The big break the Raiders get is that they play the worst team (other than themselves) in the AFC Playoffs. This game can go either way. It is the very definition of a "Pass" play. The line is not nearly small enough to take Houston, or large enough to take the Raiders.

Brock 5-1 at home (6-1 if you count the game he got benched vs jax) with markedly better stats

Still wouldn't back him in this game though.

rizespor · 01-04-17, 04:51 PM

I don't blame you he's fukking horrible. But I think Houston gets it done on the strength of their defense + lamar Miller.

packerd_00 · 01-04-17, 04:54 PM

Yeah I don't mind Lamar,he is a solid player no question,wonder how hell do with that ankle.

Watch out for those Spartan QB's... they are good.

jjgold · 01-04-17, 07:30 PM

Basically impossible for a rookie to do well in NFL

Philmill · 01-04-17, 07:50 PM

Raiders where saving up their crew for the playoffs when they played last game at Denver

RB Murray on the side lines and Cook looked good the few snaps he got.....

Oakland has a big fan base and a lot of people want them to succeed but their season is basically over now.

The excuses are microwave-ready and justified, so they won't catch any blame for losing this game.

Brock is hungry to prove he can manage a playoff victory, so expect him to play smart and follow orders,
but really it will be the Texans defense
that seals this.

GunShard · 01-05-17, 12:39 AM

I like to see Cook dominate. To show the Browns that they missed out on drafting him, the Browns drafted Kessler instead.

eidolon · 01-05-17, 12:46 AM

Cook is Brady 2.0! 15 year pro-bowler in the future!

Hu$tle · 01-05-17, 01:34 AM

Texans easy 21-13 game....

Can you say DEFENSE

Enkhbat · 01-05-17, 02:47 AM

Cook is better than McGloin, good decision by Oakland

Was not really a "decision", McGloin is in concussion protocol.

Snowball · 01-05-17, 10:33 AM

I don't see McGlion in concussion protocol, maybe you're thinking of Nate Allen (S)
McGlion can't throw normally, his shoulder is bad.

Ah yes, I was actually thinking of Savage. McGloin is out with shoulder injury, that is reason Cook is starting.

Notorious_Donk · 01-05-17, 10:48 AM

McGloid

rizespor · 01-05-17, 10:52 AM

Maybe brock getting benched wasn't the worst thing in the world for him.

Maybe getting benched will light a fire under him and turn him into a good quarterback!

Osweiler got benched in Denver and we see how that turned out

eidolon · 01-05-17, 12:38 PM

One thing to look at is that Cook's very first game was against a very good defense; best passing defense (185 yards/game).
But Houston also has a very good passing defense, so it will be interesting.

But, I do think Houston will win this game; not too sure about the 4.5 points to Houston, and 36.5 points for the game seems a bit low.

He was alright at MSU. Defense bailed him out a lot.

His sophomore year the defense was exceptional, but it declined every year after that. Cook was solid and consistent every year

BadNina · 01-06-17, 02:41 PM

The last time Cook started a game in TX, his team scored zero points.

Just gonna leave that one right here.

RTR!!
