You really don know when it comes to games in the NFL. That fact gets further proven year after year.Stop for a moment and think about it. When this season schedule came out and showed a Week 7 Thursday night marquee matchup pitting the Kansas City Chiefs against the Oakland Raiders, what did you picture?I know it couldn have been this an Oakland team that had already matched its four losses from all of last season against a Kansas City club whose only vice may be it can seem to stay on the field. Thursday night, in my mind, is simple.It desperation versus identity. First, the desperation.After starting the season 2-0, the Raiders have dropped four straight games, including two against division rivals Denver and San Los Angeles.Quarterback Derek Carr has not been himself all season, and his play has earned him a narrative wee quite familiar with in Kansas City.

There are several different styles of analysis on the subject of how the Green Bay Packers will fare without Aaron Rodgers. My personal favorite is the “you can put all of your eggs in one basket” criticism, implying that the team relies on its quarterback too much. This is a silly comment for several reasons, and here they are.Quarterback is by its nature the most important position in football, and trying to de-emphasize its importance almost never works.When it does work, it usually because a team has spent a lot of capital on an excellent defense. However, if that team finds a good quarterback, they eventually will have to pay said quarterback and end up with all of their eggs in said basket again Jacob Schum Jersey.If you can get the best player at the best position, that is a huge win for you.There is not a supply of all-star backup QBs and no team could afford to pay for one.My next favorite, the don understand the concept of a replacement player” trope, is also common.
