On the Raiders podcast with Barbara Mason:

#1 The Raiders (7-5) after getting crushed in week 12 in Atlanta came out on Sunday and got back in the win column against one of football’s worst the New York Jets (0-12) and won by three points 31-28 on a 46 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Derek Carr to receiver Henry Ruggs in the closing seconds of the game.

#2 In each half of the game the scores were close in the first half the Raiders had a 17-13 and in the second half the Jets had a one point advantage 15-14 but the Raiders had just enough to win a close game.

#3 Does winning a close game against the Jets translate that the Raiders might have hit a point in the season where they are starting to struggle. They lost a close game to the Chiefs and were blown out the next week by the Falcons and just got by a winless Jets team?

#4 Raiders quarterback Derek Carr threw for 381 yards, three touchdowns and was intercepted once. That’s great yardage and end zone conversion for Carr did he and the offense do their part and the defense might have let down on the other side of the ball for Las Vegas?

#5 The Raiders head back to Vegas to host the Indianapolis Colts (8-4) who have won four of their last six games and won their last game this last Sunday edging the Houston Texans 26-20. The Colts quarterback Phillip Rivers threw for 285 yards and two touchdowns will the Raiders be ready for Indianapolis this Sunday?

That’s Amaury’s podcast for News and Commentary:

#1 The San Francisco 49ers were coming off a big win against the Los Angeles Rams from week 12 and last night they played host in Glendale at State Farm Stadium against the Buffalo Bills. One thing about the switch from Santa Clara to Glendale is the 49ers will be not be doing much traveling in three of four games.

#2 The Las Vegas Raiders narrowly beat the winless New York Jets last Sunday on a Hail Mary pass from quarterback Derek Carr to receiver Henry Ruggs for a 46 yard game winning touchdown and as a consequence that last play was Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams who was fired right after the game.

#3 The MLB winter meetings started on Monday and for the Oakland A’s they are expected to keep things on the down low due to the pandemic the A’s have taken a financial loss which included refusing to pay rent at the Oakland Coliseum just before the beginning of last season’s brief 60 game schedule.

#4 Like the Philadelphia Phillies who are also feeling the pinch and had a hard time trying to sign TJ Realmuto which they didn’t the report is out that Philadelphia lost $ 2 billion because of overall loses. The Oakland A’s may not have lost that much but they are behind the financial eight ball during these winter meetings.

#5 Also talk is that the A’s most likely will not offer A’s infielder Marcus Semien a deal because it will be relatively much lower than what other clubs are expected to offer him which has been in the neighborhood of $100 million. Who have you heard that is interested in obtaining Semien, Cubs, Cardinals, Reds, Yankees, Astros, Dodgers or maybe others?

49ers can’t overcome Bills Josh Allen’s four-TD, 375-yard night, lose to the Buffalo Bills 32-24 on Monday Night Football

Josh Allen was sizzling in the desert, throwing for 375 yards and four touchdowns on 32 of 40 pass attempts as the Buffalo Bills cruise to a 34-24 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Glendale, Ariz. at State Farm Stadium on Monday night to cap off Week 13.

At 9-3, the Buffalo Bills remain in sole possession of first place in the AFC East and clinched back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1998-99. The Bills are looking to capture their first division title since 1995.

Buffalo is one game ahead of the Miami Dolphins (8-4) with four games to play for both teams.

Allen completed passes to eight different receivers, throwing touchdown passes to Cole Beasley, Dawson Knox, Isaiah McKenzie and Gabriel Davis. Beasley and Stefon Diggs were Allen’s preferred targets on the night.

The duo combined for 22 targets, garnering 11 apiece.

Beasley was a tough cover for the 49ers defense in the first half, hauling in seven catches for 113 yards including a 5-yard TD on a curl route to tie the game at 7-7 following an early TD from San Francisco. Buffalo scored 17 unanswered points to lead 17-7 at halftime.

San Francisco had the injury bug bite them hard recently at their slot cornerback position and struggled to cover Beasley, who finished with a career-high nine catches for 130 yards and a TD.

Diggs registered 10 catches for 92 yards, doing most of his damage in the second half.

Buffalo’s offense harpooned the 49ers defense, exploding for 449 yards and 31 first downs. The Bills had 20 first downs alone before halftime and were efficient on offense, scoring points on five-straight drives through the second quarter and into the third quarter.

Buffalo took care of the football, dominating the time of possession: 35 minutes to 25 minutes.

In the same token, the 49ers had just nine first downs in the first half and struggled tremendously on offense for the majority of the game. The 49ers finished with 24 first downs and 402 yards of total offense that came mainly in the second half with the game decided.

San Francisco (5-7) lost a game in its temporary home of in Arizona. The 49ers will remain in Glendale for at least the next three weeks after Santa Clara County issued strict protocols that forced the team to find a temporary home.

It was the fourth game this season that Allen has thrown for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns, which set a franchise record according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly (1991) and Drew Bledsoe (2002) each did it three times for the Bills.

In the first quarter, both teams traded goal-line stands.

Buffalo opened the game with a 74-yard that was stopped at the 49ers’ 1-yard line after Allen’s fourth-down pass fell incomplete in the back of the end zone. San Francisco followed up with a 97-yard drive of their own that stopped at the Buffalo 2-yard line, but Jeff Wilson Jr. was stuffed for no gain on fourth down.

But the 49ers got the ball back in excellent field position following a fumble by Allen and the 49ers took advantage. Nick Mullens found rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk in the middle of the field for a 2-yard TD to take an early 7-0 lead.

Mullens finished 26 of 39 passing for 316 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.

Aiyuk had five catches for 95 yards and TD.

A week after recording a career-high 11 catches and 133 yards, wide receiver Deebo Samuel finished with a team-leading six catches for 73 yards all in the second half. Buffalo’s defense shutdown Samuel in the first half, holding the dynamic play-maker to just one target.

Wilson Jr. led the 49ers with 47 yards rushing on seven carries, while Raheem Mostert chipped in with 42 yards on nine carries.

The 49ers will stay in Arizona to host the Washington Football Team Sunday, while the Buffalo Bills will be featured in primetime once again when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday night.

Cal Bears podcast with Morris Phillips: Cal shocks the NCAA world with huge upset over Oregon

On the Cal Bears podcast with Morris:

#1 This had to be the shock of the NCAA on Saturday as Cal (1-3) a team considered a doormat in the Pac 12 a team no one would consider won their first game against the Pac 12’s best the Oregon Ducks (3-2).

#2 Cal head coach Justin Wilcox certainly relied on his defense after getting that lead in the first half and held onto it. They had Ducks quarterback Tyler Shough scrambling throughout the second half and he simply couldn’t convert  as the Bears shut the Ducks out in the second half.

#3 Morris Shough threw for 231 yards and a touchdown in that second half you can bet the Ducks coaching staff were trying to rearrange their playbook but would you say in the loss to the Oregon State Beavers (2-2) that film revealed a lot of holes that Cal could have learned from?

#4 For Cal quarterback Chase Garbers an evening he won’t forget a touchdown for Cal in each of the first three quarters good enough for the 21-17 win and Cal’s first win of the season. Garbers threw for 183 yards and a touchdown. He got touchdown help from running back Bradrick Shaw, receiver Nicco Remigio and Garbers carried one in himself.

#5 Cal now heads to Pullman to face the Washington State Cougars (1-1) for the final game of the regular season. If the Bears who just lost to the Stanford Cardinal (2-2) on Sat Nov 28th in the Big Game by a blocked field goal had won that game no telling what that would have done for their post season chances after a big win like this against Oregon.

#6 Morris the Cal men’s basketball game wasn’t even close on Sunday night at UCLA the Golden Bears were blown out at Pauley Pavilion 76-56. Cal head coach Mark Fox said that the Bruins were ahead every step of the way.

#7 Makale Foreman was one of two players who did not travel to the Southland on Saturday. Foreman and the unnamed player did eventually make to Pauley Pavilion but didn’t make practice on Saturday and the pre-game walk through. How much did that impact the results of their game against the Bruins.

#8 Fox said that the Bruins shot for 70% and the Cal defense wasn’t where they wanted them to be and the offense didn’t play with authority.

Cardinal hold off late UW rally, beats Huskies 31-26

Stanford held off a late Washington surge Saturday and defeated the Huskies 31-26 in Pac-12 football at Husky Stadium in Seattle, using a dominant ground game to do it.

Austin Jones led the Cardinal charge with 138 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 31 carries. Nathaniel Peat added 44 yards and a TD on seven attempts.

Quarterback David Mills threw for 252 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions, completing 20 of 30 passes.

The Cardinal spent most of the week in Seattle after a Santa Clara County health order prohibited games and practices for contact sports on Monday. Stanford practiced at Washington’s indoor facility and at local high schools through the week, and held its Friday walkthrough at a public park.

Stanford (2-2) got off to a fast start, finding the end zone on its first three possessions. Jeff Toner’s 42-yard field goal put the Cardinal up 24-3 at halftime.

Washington (3-1) nearly duplicated its second-half comeback of last week against Utah. Sean McGrew scored from 6 yards out and quarterback Dylan Morris snuck over from the 1 pulling the Huskies to within 31-16. In between, Mills connected with Scooter Harrington on a 3-yard TD pass.

McGrew scored on a 2-yard run at 11:49 of the fourth quarter. The Huskies nearly had a fourth TD after recovering a Jones fumble at the Stanford 10-yard line. But two holding penalties moved UW back enough for the Huskies to settle for a 45-yard field goal by Peyton Henry.

The Cardinal was able to preserve a 31-26 lead by running out the clock with a drive that started at their own 12 with 7:47 remaining. A key catch on 4th-and-11 by Simi Fehoko and three first-down runs by Jones helped Stanford maintain possession.

Morris completed 15 of 23 passes for 254 yards, with no touchowns or interceptions. McGrew was the Huskies’ top ground gainer with 65 yards on 16 carries.

Next week, the Cardinal travel to Corvallis, Ore., to face Oregon State, a game originally slated to be played at The Farm.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich Perez: Raiders take on football’s worst the Jets will it be another “any given Sunday” again?

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich:

#1 Rich, how surprising was it for you after the Raiders (6-5) came off a three game win streak then lost to the Chiefs (10-1) in a close game but just totally got broadsided in Atlanta 43-6 last Sunday to the Falcons (4-7)?

#2 Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said it was by far the team’s worst game of the season with Carr himself turning the ball over four times for a total of five Raider turnovers.

#3 Carr threw for 215 yards and threw for one interception Carr just couldn’t get anything going when the Raiders got in the red zone and Carr was constantly scrambling was this because he wasn’t getting protection from the offensive line or because the Falcons just were able to force Carr to turn the ball over?

#4 Further more the Raiders were able to score a field goal in just each of the second and third quarters that was all the offense they could muster up. The Falcons came on like one of those legendary New England Patriot teams from their championship days.

#5 The Raiders now travel to New Jersey to play at the Meadowlands against footballs only remaining winless team the New York Jets (0-11) the Jets got whipped on their own home field against the Arizona Cardinals 30-10. Taking that into account do you see this one being a cinch for the Raiders or one of those “on any given Sunday” games?

#1 The Cal Bears (0-3) play their fourth game of the season at Berkeley against the Oregon Ducks (3-1) on Saturday at 4:00pm  Oregon a tough team to play against and the Bears are badly looking for their first win.

#2 The Bears just missed a close game last week to the Stanford Cardinal 24-23 when Cal kicker Dario Longhetto had a blocked kick on an extra point which turned out to be the difference maker.

#3 It wasn’t a win but talk about Cal quarterback Chase Garber who threw for 151 yards, two touchdowns, and in a game where every scored counted and those two touchdowns were vital even in the loss.

#4 Garbers certainly would like to convert some more offense from his running backs and receivers. Running back Christopher Brown Jr carried for 26 yards and receiver Kekoa Crawford ran for 52 yards and had a touchdown.

#5 The Bears next opponents the Ducks (3-1) had a four game win streak until they faced the Oregon State Beavers (2-2) last Friday in a 41-38 loss. The Ducks quarterback Tyler Shough threw for 285 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss.

On San Francisco 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 Joe last Sunday’s win for the 49ers (5-6) a close contest against a very good Los Angeles Rams (7-4) team 23-20 which do you lend to the win good coaching, defense consistent, or kicker Robbie Gould’s field goal towards the end of the game for the win?

#2 How key was corner Richard Sherman one tackle and one interception from what you saw of Sherman would you say yes he’s back?

#3 Joe, considering the injuries and Covid cases the 49ers haves sustained getting a win over the Rams a first place team in the NFC West had to be commendable all things considered.

#4 Joe, talk about the switch for the 49ers with the Santa Clara shutdown the 49ers now relegated to play most likely the rest of their season in Arizona how much does that change their chances to have that home field feel or at this juncture it really doesn’t make a difference with no crowds.

#5 The Buffalo Bills (8-3) come into Glendale having won three of their last four games and coming off a ten point win over the Los Angeles Chargers (3-8) 27-17. Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw for 157 yards and a touchdown whose been part of the success of the Bills . How do you see this match with the 49ers on Monday Night Football?
