Herbert needs to scramble a bit

They seemed more worried about running up the middle to eat clock then rolling out JH.

And is Mike Williams even playing-is he hurt again? I see where Herbert is throwing to everybody but him, is he hurt or just lazy?

This 82 yard TD would have made his night look a lot better.  Watch it and weep.  He had 4 targets, but only caught 1.  They really din't need him after the first half.

Guess we din't really do a "What Do You Need?" thread, but most of my games are pretty much decided--although it would be a good thing if Mike Williams scores about 40.

I had one league where I was trailing by 0.9 in half-PPR going into Monday Night Football, with only Mike Williams to go.  He needed to post something like 1 catch for 4 yards in order for me to win, but I wasn't holding my breath.  And then somehow, that last catch of his put him up to 1.6 points for the game, and I won by 0.7!!!

Yes, Axe Elf, there IS a Santa Claus!

Not as great of a game as I hoped.  There were some major blunders for the bolts.  The Chargers dominated the first half, but only led 14-0 for most of it and a big reason was the failed fake punt which flipped field position for the rest of the half.  They spent the rest of the half slowly turning field position back around after that bungled play.  Had they just punted, and kept field position in their favor, they probably roll up 35 points that half.  Instead, that one play kept the Raiders in the game.  Another big bungle was the huge PI call on the Chargers in the second half which gave the Raiders great field position deep in the Chargers side of the field.

Still, it is their style to be super aggressive, which did lead to some 4th down conversions.   But statistically, it was not good.

I traded saints D for Renfrow last week to add some depth and have a fill in flex. He’s been pretty solid high floor but not much of a ceiling.

I agree.   This gamble basically shut down their momentum for a couple series.  They didnt regain until just before halftime when they had that nice drive to finish the half.
