On the 49ers podcast with David:

#1 Chase Young has been dealt to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange of a mid round draft pick from the Washington Commanders. Young is a former No.2 2020 overall draft pick at defensive end. Tell us how this will shore San Francisco’s defense going into Sun Nov 12 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

#2 Taking a look at last Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals where did it all break down quarterback Brock Purdy just didn’t get enough scoring opportunities for the offense or the defense just falling apart allowing two touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

#3 The Jaguars (6-2) are going strong they’ve won five straight games including their last game against the Pittsburgh Steelers 20-10 in Pittsburgh. Do you see the Jaguars being a handful for the 49ers in Jacksonville on Nov 12th?

On the Raiders podcast with Rich Perez:

#1 The Las Vegas Raiders had numerous opportunities in their Monday night game against the Detroit Lions. They were unable to capitalize on any of them partially due to the lackluster game from Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

#2 Garoppolo was sacked six times and had some heart-breaking misses in the 26-14 loss to Detroit.

#3 Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs ran on the Raiders for 26 carries, 152 yards, and one touchdown and quarterback Jerod Goff was 26-37 for 272 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

#4 It was a terrible showing for Garoppolo passing 10 of 21 for 126 yards and one interception. He is overthrowing the ball with regularity.

#5 New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is dealing with a neck injury and has only two touchdowns for this season. Giants back up quarterback Tyrod Taylor has a rib cage injury after three games. The Giants and Raiders meet at Allegiant Stadium this Sun Nov 5th at 1:25pm PT kickoff.

On the Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 Tony offensively the Raiders just couldn’t get anything going against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field in Detroit. The Raiders were able to get a touchdown in each of the second and third quarters but it was not enough.

#2 Talk about Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo who scrambled all night and was sacked six times. Was this from holding on the ball too long or not getting enough protection.

#3 Running back Josh Jacobs carried for 61 yards and picked up a touchdown but didn’t get enough chances to do any damage.

#4 Talk about Davante Adams who had been complaining about not getting enough touches. On receiving he caught one pass for 11 yards and didn’t score a touchdown. Adams got angry and threw his helmet. He’s been frustrated in most of these Raider loses.

#5 Tony, Talk about the New York Giants coming in next. They’ve gone through two quarterbacks Daniel Jones has a neck injury and back up quarterback Tyrod Taylor has a rib cage injury. The Giants much like the Raiders are suffering and come into Allegiant Stadium with a 2-6 record. Kickoff for this Sun Nov 5th at 1:25pm PT. How do you see this match up?

Jimmy Garoppolo Sacked Six Times In Loss to Detroit 26-14

The Las Vegas Raiders had numerous opportunities in their Monday night game against the Detroit Lions. They were unable to capitalize on any of them partially due to the lackluster game from Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. He was sacked six times and had some heart-breaking misses in the 26-14 loss to Detroit.

Monday night the Las Vegas Raiders (3-5) took on the Detroit Lions (6-2) on the national stage. The Raiders are coming off a loss to the Chicago Bears 30-12. The Lions who have been having a great season got stomped last week by the Baltimore Ravens 38-6 in a real shocker both games on Sun Oct 22. Both of these teams were desperate to win this game and the Lions got back on the winning track. The Raiders wanted to even their season record but just couldn’t do it at Ford Field in Detroit.

Game recap: It was a very quiet first quarter and after the first 15 minutes the Lions had a 3-0 lead. The Raiders squandered a great opportunity to put points up on the board as the clock began to wind down on the first quarter. The Raider’s defense, who made some great plays in this game, forced a lion fumble deep in Detroit territory with 45 seconds left in the opening quarter.

Las Vegas did not take advantage of a great scoring opportunity when quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw an interception giving the ball right back to the Lions. This was his ninth interception of the season. He leads the league in interceptions, a distinction no quarterback want to entertain.

The Lions continued to extend their lead in the second quarter. They kicked two more field goals in the quarter, giving them a 9-0 lead but had not been able to find the end zone. The Raiders cut into Detroits lead with five minutes left in the half 9-7 and Las Vegas had some life. Josh Jacobs rushed for three yards and the touchdown. Two minutes later however, the Lions extinguished that life with their first touchdown of the game extending their lead 16-7 going into half time.

The Raiders got a great start in the early going of the third quarter. Marcus Peters intercepted the ball for a 75 yard return and the Raiders second touchdown of the day. The Lions were hanging onto a slim 16-14 lead. With three minutes left in the third quarter, the Lions pushed right back scoring their second touchdown of the game, now leading 23-14.

The opportunities that the Raiders had in this game were numerous. The fourth quarter was painful to watch. There was obvious lack of protection for Garoppolo in the second half. He was sacked 6 times and missed a wide open Davante Adams in the fourth quarter. Adams was visibly upset on the sidelines after that missed pass throwing his helmet in frustration.

It has been a tough go for the talented Adams who has not been targeted very much at all this season. That miss cost the Raiders the game; it nailed the coffin shut. The Lions had three turnovers in this game and despite that still won.

It was a terrible showing for Garoppolo passing 10 of 21 for 126 yards and one interception. He is overthrowing the ball with regularity. Defensive wonder Max Crosby had some great tackles but without much scoring going on it’s rather futile. There was only one offensive touchdown in the game for the Raiders, the second touchdown coming from a Las Vegas interception.

It’s hard to say where the Raiders go from here. The defense has had some great moments but the offense has struggled mightily and seem to look worse and worse as the season wears on. This team is no stranger to losing and it now seems to be ingrained. How a team breaks out of a mindset such as Las Vegas is currently experiencing is not easy.

The Raiders will travel home for a date next Sunday with another struggling team, the New York Giants. New York quarterback Daniel Jones has only had two touchdowns this season but was out of action with a neck injury that sidelined him for the past three games. His backup Tyrod Taylor started in those three games but he was injured in the third game with a rib cage injury. The Giants are dealing with a lot right now much as the Raiders are. Jones is expected to start in next Sunday’s game. Kickoff for this game is scheduled for Sunday at 1:25 PM.

On the 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes:

#1 Talk about how the 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy got the concussion against the Minnesota Vikings. Played showed a Viking defender’s helmet hit Purdy’s helmet directly head on while he jumped over a pile up?

#2 Recovery time is short for Purdy since the game was on Monday Night and head coach Kyle Shanahan said Purdy might get in the line up this Sunday.

#3 Purdy was involved in every snap in last Monday’s game against the Vikings throwing 22 for 37 passes for 282 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception.

#4 Tell us about this if Purdy does sit and back up quarterback Sam Darnold is starter. Darnold was singed by San Francisco in March, he participated last season in the Carolina Panthers last six games as a starter.

#5 Joe, as you see it how will the 49ers do against the Cincinnati Bengals who have won three of their last four games. The 49ers have the home field.

On the San Francisco 49ers podcast with David:

#1 How surprising does it have to be for 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan after having an efficient and well planned play book going into the first five games of this season only now to have put together two straight loses.

#2 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy did get some yardage against the Minnesota Vikings with 272 yards, one touchdown but was it not connecting with the receivers and throwing two picks that got him into trouble?

#3 The 49ers host the Cincinnati Bengals this coming Sun Oct 29 at Levi Stadium. The Bengals have won three of their last four games. The last win coming last Sun Oct 15 against the Seattle Seahawks 17-13. The Bengals are 3-3 and have improved on both sides of the ball. How do the 49ers coming off two loses in a row matching up with the Bengals this Sunday.

Raiders Lack of Offense Is Huge Part of Loss to Chicago Bears 30-12

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

By Barbara Mason

The Las Vegas Raiders lack of offense was a huge part of the loss they suffered Sunday against the struggling Chicago Bears at Soldier Field in Chicago. The poor offense was overshadowed by the defense which struggled all afternoon. They were unable to stop the rushing game that the Bears brought today. Chicago ran right through the Raider defense which appeared to be helpless against the ground offense of the Bears. The final was 30-12 with the Bears coming out on top

Sunday afternoon the Raiders (3-4) traveled to Soldier Field to take on the Bears (2-5). Both teams have had their struggles and the Raiders are still without quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. He will miss todays’ game but is expected to play next week.

The first half was all Bears. Chicago took the first lead of the game in the early minutes of the first quarter. The Bears D’Onta Foreman rushed for two yards and the touchdown, the first of two rushing scores for Chicago in the first half.

Foreman had his second touchdown of the day in the second quarter; this one a three yard scamper extending their lead to 14-0. The Raiders finally got on the scoreboard in the second quarter, a 40 yard Field Goal but had a lot of work to do in the second half.

The Bears took a 14-3 lead into the locker room at halftime. The Chicago rushing game was averaging five yards per carry and they were tearing the Raider’s defense apart.

Las Vegas got the ball to start the third quarter. The flow of this game was clearly being dictated by the Chicago offense especially their running game. The Raiders could not stop them as the Bears ran roughshod all over the Las Vegas defense in the third quarter.

The Bears D’Onta Foreman had his third touchdown of the game at 4:04, this one a five yard pass from quarterback Tyson Bagent and a Chicago lead 21-3. The Raiders were struggling not only defensively but also offensively in this lopsided affair.

The Raiders Daniel Carlson got their second field goal of the game in the early minutes of the fourth quarter, a 25 Yarder but with the score now 21-6 the Raiders desperately needed touchdowns; field goals would hardly make a dent in the score. The Bears kicked a field goal at 5:46, a 54 yard kick taking a 24-6 lead as they kept pounding the Las Vegas defense.

Things went from bad to worse in the final quarter. The Bears had a pick six in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter taking 30-6 lead. The extra point was blocked. This was the third interception of the day for the Bears defense.

A late touchdown for the Raiders was the only bright spot of the day. At 1:10 Aiden O’Connell (who took the field in place of Brian Hoyer) threw a nine yard pass to Jacoby Meyers for the score. The two point conversion would fail (their second failed 2-point conversion attempt of the day). Hoyer had two interceptions and O’Connell had one. With 3:44 left on the game clock Chicago was simply trying to run the clock out and win their second game of the season. The Bears held on for the 30-12 win. The Raiders dropped to 3-4 and the Bears now have a 2-5 season record.

The Raiders will certainly welcome Garoppolo back on the field next week. This was a game that many thought would be a manageable one for the team. This game went sideways from the get go for the Raiders. Turnovers, lack of offense and the inability to stop the run was a recipe for disaster for Las Vegas.

They were 1 of 8 on third downs and the three turnovers did not help at all. Hoyer was 17 of 32 with a mere 129 yards. O’Connell was 10 of 13 for 75 yards and one touchdown for a total of 196 passing yards for the Raiders. Their rushing numbers were anemic with only 39 total yards.

The win for the Bears was their first win at home since September 25, 2022. This was their longest losing streak in franchise history.

Next week the Raiders will take on the NFC North leaders the Detroit Lions in a very short week when they play on Monday night football. The Lions came into today’s game against the Baltimore Ravens with a 5-1 record and got trounced losing 38-6. So much for winning records. Both of these teams will be looking to get back on track next Monday on the national platform. Las Vegas does not want to play a second game the likes of today’s game. It was a pure embarrassment. Kickoff for this game is scheduled for 5:15 PM PT.

Pick six in fourth

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich Perez: Raiders Hoyer struggles as Chicago’s defense Bears down

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich:

#1 Rich, the Raiders (3-4) struggled with very little offense today in Chicago (2-6) in a 30-12 loss. Talk about how much protection a little protection that Raiders quarterback Brian Hoyer got today?

#2 Hoyer didn’t get too much yardage he was looking for his key receivers Jakobi Meyers and Davonte Adams didn’t get as much as one touchdown pass.

#3 Rich, the same could be said for rushing none of the key running backs Josh Jacobs, Zamir White, or Tre Tucker got much ground. Tell us how successful the Bears were in sticking the Raiders running game?

#4 Raiders starter Jimmy Garoppolo is expected back in the line up for the Raiders next game at Ford Field in Detroit against the Detroit Lions (5-2) on Monday Night Football on Mon Oct 30th. How ready do you see him for Monday the 30th and how important was it for Garoppolo taking this week off.

#5 The Raiders face the Lions on the 30th and the Lions had a tough afternoon against the Baltimore Ravens (5-2). Pretty much the same issues the Raider had today on offense. The Lions quarterback Jared Goff couldn’t get anything going 30-43 for 261 yards and one touchdown but couldn’t get a lot of scoring to get past the Ravens. How do you see this Raiders-Lions match up on MNF?

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes: 49ers Williams, McCaffrey and Samuel should be in line up for MNF

On the 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 Joe the big question is should the 49ers rest Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel against the Minnesota Vikings this Monday? The 49ers did say Williams, McCaffrey and Samuel are not seriously injured and could play this Monday Night Football, how do you see that being a big risk.

#2 Critics have said that the Vikings who are 2-4 are just one more loss away from stripping the team down and being sellers. Are the Vikings in that much trouble?

#3 Williams, McCaffrey and Samuel are considered to be the 49ers best players and it would make sense if this were a playoff game but against the Vikings all three could use the week and game off.

#4 Joe, with the Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson out of action how much pressure does that put on quarterback Kirk Cousins to do most of the heavy lifting?

#5 Joe, any chance that this game could be as close as last week’s Cleveland Browns game was? Or do you see the 49ers plowing over the Vikings on Monday Night Football?
