Thursday Night Overview: Embarrassing Raiders

Really not a lot to talk about as this wasn't really a game where a ton of teams were going to use players. I had to bite the bullet just because I couldn't wait until Sunday night to find out the status of if Sony Michel was going to play or not so when I heard some dude named Nick Mullins was starting for San Francisco, I thought the Raiders would easily take card of the 49ers to the point that game script would favor Martin. DEAD....WRONG. Mullins was amazing, partly because the pathetic Raiders weren't even remotely trying to win. It was embarrassing to watch the complete lack of effort as the Raiders put up a measly 3 points against a TERRIBLE 49ers Defense that looked like the 85 Bears Defense against this sad sack Raiders team. Martin was actually not bad, but game script basically ended up fucking him over and I only 7.4 points from him. Now normally I'd be pretty upset, but Mike's decision to play Derek Carr over Philip Rivers ended backfiring big time. When Carr wasn't getting sacked, because his O-Line was shit, he looked like shit himself. It got so bad, Jon Gruden threw in the towel in the 4th and let A.J. McCarron play. Carr ended up with 174 empty yards and 7.34 points. Like I said before, this means NOTHING because it's one play and my play wasn't anything special either. Posey has 4 dangerous receivers who are all capable of blowing up so in no way is this matchup over. I'm just glad Carr flopped. The only Raider that got played was Jared Cook and even though he sucked for Leland, it really shouldn't affect his matchup against Drew's injury riddled team. On the 49ers side, Matt's basically on his way to his 6th win as George Kittle was awesome, proving it doesn't matter who the QB is. He had an amazing 70+ yard catch and ended up scoring a TD and finished with nearly 19 points. Kittle is helping Matt recover from the first round bust that is Gronk.  The only other play was Dad sticking to his guns with Marquise Goodwin and thought the 49ers offense was rollin, Goodwin did nothing of note. Already an underdawg...literally, that performance certainly didn't help matters as Albert should have no problem picking up a win this week.
