00:00because we have the afc i mean josh is the one that mentioned it it's only right that i bring
00:04up the vaunted raiders and kirk cousins the dominant performance that they had in week one
00:10john this is why you play kirk cousins and you haven't picked off what was it twice i don't know
00:16what it was yeah yeah but but he's still he had the best qbr in this division in week one
00:24wow
00:24oh john did you hear that i will argue that fernando mendoza could have done the exact same
00:30thing i could and he probably could have he probably could have against that miami dolphin team
00:37who i think will be winless i think they will i just like i thought the rims would be undefeated
00:42and that's it i didn't i didn't i'm sorry i didn't need to correct myself not qbr the overall qb
00:48uh the rating not qbr i apologize it was the rating though he had the best one in the afc
00:54west beating the dolphins dude does nothing for me if you're if you're the raiders and this is why
01:00i was saying you should have put fernando mendoza in that position you open the season at home with
01:05a cupcake he fernando mendoza wins that game raider fans walk out of that building with pumping their
01:12chest they're making social videos they raiders they in the lockup screaming raiders they in the
01:18back of police car screaming raiders they on the casino floor screaming raiders it's raiders
01:23everywhere raider nation flag flying high but you started kurt cousins in that game they won the
01:28game and everybody just went home they wouldn't nobody opened their app nobody retweeted anything
01:33they just went home it was not that didn't inspiring happened with that game it was it was just a
01:40regular season game you want to open the season it didn't feel like anything it didn't feel like
01:45something happened it just feel like a game got played against a very bad team and a mediocre
01:51running the middle team where nothing interesting is happening because the interesting part you
01:55won't even take out of the package josh well yes i was gonna say john and i we talked about
02:01this in
02:02our in our charger podcast earlier today because week two yeah make sure you you subscribe uh week
02:09two the raiders are at the chargers yes and and we were talking and we were talking about the fact
02:16that the chargers better win that game by double digits or else there's a whole lot of issues well
02:22if ashen genti has 75 of the performance that he had against miami and brock bowers is currently
02:32listed as day to day so he all may be we
02:39that that is that is actually a very fair point um but say brock bowers is available to play
02:48if this is a close game even if the chargers win if it's a one score victory look it's a
02:54bad look for
02:55the chargers and it's a very promising look for the raiders so which would you guys say worries you
03:01more after week one is it denver or the chargers honestly i mean i'm more worried about denver than
03:08the chargers i would i would agree john i would agree it's it's denver because bo nicks is the
03:13inability to hold on to the ball that to me it starts with the quarterback if the quarterback is going
03:19full cj strout on you you in trouble you in trouble if your quarterback go full cj strout you
03:26as as as a man once said you never go full cj strout okay who notoriously fumbled at the end
03:33of the game just right when right when you knew right on time i think somebody in our group chat
03:40but like is it wasn't you somebody in here put it is this going to be cj cj strout going
03:46to do it
03:48no as as soon as it was out in the atmosphere no no it's like that's why that's that's what
03:54happened but bo nicks like i josh i was telling john it's like he couldn't hold on to the football
03:59he could literally he was it was slipping out of his hands every time somebody would graze his arm
04:05and i just don't know yeah and and this is the type of thing like this was not
04:11december january denver weather this was like a perfect night of football so it it makes me it
04:19makes me wonder if at some point in the game did something happen to his hand or finger because
04:26like you said it was just slipping especially in the second half of the game so i am curious
04:31you know whenever the the next injury report comes out for denver if there is something or they're just
04:38going to hide and then just like scrape it on the rug and be like no you know we're not
04:41even going
04:42to comment on it or put a spotlight on it we're just going to keep moving forward but that that
04:47was
04:47that was not normal with bone i think that had everything to do with the rhythm of the game and
04:53him not really playing anything that intense since the last time he played when he broke his ankle
04:57and then getting out there with all these arms flying and hands flying and bodies flying and it just it's
05:03a repetition thing and if he would have gotten some of these in the preseason he would have got one
05:09of
05:09these fumbles out of his system and they'd have thrown them on the big screen and go you got to
05:13protect the ball man you got to put two hands on the ball because a lot of those his arm
05:17was hit not
05:18hard slightly but slightly enough for a guy who'd been going through practice like this and not getting
05:24hit to actually getting hit out there in the ball coming
05:26you
