They can eat poo! Get them the F out of the fanbase! 

Naw, fan how you want. We get to laugh at the flimsy attempt to justify what is painfully clear. The media is going to take it's time so I am actually looking forward to seeing who takes that route. Those are the people I don't want to waste my time going forward. No problem hating the media because they get paid to do it. Fans clowning themselves is their problem IMO.

Almost 700 yards and 5 TDs with zero picks in two games, today and last year in Seattle.  Both road games.  Dalton is pretty solid.

Refreshing game but it is just one game. Let’s see what this team looks like in 6 weeks. Raiders basically had zero tape on this offense and that’s a huge advantage that will shrink once tape is out. 
 

Johnson is a stud and what a pick up. 

That may be, but Dalton had a very similar degree of success when he stepped in for Bryce against Seattle last year.  His last two starts since he's been here have both looked really good.  While teams didn't know what this offense would look like, they do know Canales and Dalton.  They know tendencies.  And I think Pierce is a fantastic coach with a defensive background, so I think this is more than them not being prepared bc it was Dalton...  he needs to be given credit for still being a really, really good QB, and with him in the lineup, this team is dynamic.

I wish we could find a way to keep Johnson. He was a beast out there.

Anyone saying Bryce wasn't the biggest issue should be discounted and ignored. Trade him and let some other team prove what we already know.

He is terrible

Dalton:

2. Matches the passing TDs of Bryce's last 11 games.  11!!

That is insane

We got a bunch of litmus tests out of this if nothing else.

Hopefully they could find a way with some moves in the offseason.

They weren't prepared to run the ball. That's what held them back as much anything I thought. 

That Baltimore trip took a lot out of them I bet. Lots of energy spent on winning that one.

We may have a little let down off of this, but we got those run blocking guys getting better each week.

Nobody is printing up playoff tickets, but it was great they looked competent, competitive, and victorious, instead of the punching bag that they've been for the entire Bust Young era. If he had played today, it would've been more of the same, 30-6, and we all know it.

I already saw 1 where they flat out said it and stated how different everything was without him. It's one thing to have his peers to do their normal solidarity thing but it's a credibility issue with people who do that for a job. Going to be fun which is great because I can't remember when any of this was fun the last time. Maybe the Cam return game?

All true, but I think having a functional QB changed the complexion of the entire team and the game.  They couldn't impose their will, be it the pass, run, or defensively, because we had balance and the defense stayed fresh.  Dalton really made the game entirely different.

Historically bad. Eventually that needs to be recognized as the factual reality.
