Gugny Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20887809/oakland-raiders-quarterback-derek-carr-leaves-game-lower-back-injury Some comments he made really took me aback. "I think he just got roughed up there," Del Rio said. "He got tackled, and something caused his back to spasm up. I didn't see much that would indicate that he would be injured, but his back spasmed up, so that's what it was." Told that Del Rio said it was a spasm, Carr said, "I'm glad he knows. That's awesome." "It won't be fun," Carr said of the flight back to Oakland. "But at the end of the day, no one really cares. I'll do my best to get comfortable, but as soon as I see my two baby boys, it will feel a little bit better." I don't know boo about the guy, but he comes off as a dick, to me.

JinxedBill1 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Um I see nothing wrong here. Glad he knows might just be Carr expressing his uncertainty of the injury.

Doc Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Carr is saying Del Rio shouldn't speculate like an idiot, he's a piece of meat and they'll want him back out there ASAP, and seeing his baby boys will soothe the pain.

He couldn’t find one,” Jones recalled. “I said, ‘Derek, why don’t you let me take care of that? I know you have to go play the second half.’ He just looked at me, like, ‘Thank you’ and ran out to the field.” Kind of Anti Raider no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Guy Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 dont know the guy but he had the NFL turned upside down last year with that offense then he gets hurt and they crash n burn. now its a rocky start to this season and he might be looking at more weeks off and its probably killing the guy. definitely sounds like a jerk there but it might not be his usual self.

4_kidd_4 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Back spasms suuuuuck. No defining injury for me, but pretty sure the service industry slowly borked up my back and hips. Long hours, lots of standing, improper footwear, young and not paying attention to that sorta thing. So....why is Carr a dick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corta765 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I don't know much about Carr outside of the field, but as someone who has had back spasms before they can be unbearable to the point you just lay down and don't move because its the only way your somewhat comfortable.

Gugny Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Humber breaks his hand and comes back into the game. I have no doubt that back spasms hurt. I'm not trivializing the severity of the pain. But a broken hand hurts just as bad, I'm sure. And he went back out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carr plays ahead of EJ. We all witnessed (if you watched the Raiders game) what EJ Manuel looks like as a starter. He is who we thought he was. Oddly I feel the need to defend EJ's game a little on Sunday. EJ started 8/8 and on his 9th throw he threw a fantastic TD that Cook dropped. Now 8/9, his 10th throw was a first down throw dropped by Cooper (I think it was Cooper). Now 8/10, his 11th throw was a gorgeous pass to Cook into the end zone for another TD, except Cook dropped his 2nd TD within 3 passes on the same drive, right through his hands. If Cook catches EITHER of those, the Raiders only need a FG to win on the final drive where they had over 3 minutes left. Instead, they have to take the FG on 4th down and make it a 6 point game instead of a 2 point game had it been a TD. Having no timeouts, the Raiders had to press and try and push the ball downfield and EJ through a high point ball downfield to what is SUPPOSED to be an Elite WR (I capitalized SUPPOSED because Cooper is having a terrible season overall with 8 drops already including 2 TD drops on the same drive a couple weeks ago) and yet he got out jumped by a smaller DB for the INT. In fact, I actually thought Cooper made a weak effort to go get that ball or prevent the INT. No defense for bad EJ in Buffalo, he just didn't get it done here, but his teammates let him down and lost that game for him Sunday. In fact, had Cook caught that TD its pretty likely the Raiders win that game on the comeback. Edited October 2, 2017 by Alphadawg7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why you DONT look at the stat box to see what happened in a game. I literally just painted you a play by play of exactly what happened. Starting 8 for 8 and having 3 straight drops by WRs right in their hands, 2 of which are for TDs equals blaming the WR's. They 100% are the reason they lost the game...its not even debatable.
