I predicted he'd have one absolute clanger this year. That was a given.

The hope was that he didn't play so bad in this clanger that it cost us the game. Hey, we got the win today & that's all that matters
True, he had the INT but it could have been disasterous with another pick or a fumble in the 4th.
 
I'm interested to hear more. TBH Raiola's shoulder looks fine. He doesn't look injured at all.

He looks like his having a mental nightmare today.

After one of his sacks, he was rotating his throwing arm/shoulder. I saw him do it a few more times after that during the game.

But mostly - like probably 90% - he got shook. He lost his mojo/confidence after that INT. He has two weeks to adjust and shake out of it.

By clanger I was actually meaning he'd have 3 or even 4 INTs.

He didn't have that but his throwing and decision making was just as bad. It's like he wasn't even running the pass plays.
 
DR did unleash that long bomb, so he is probably not injured much. He has the arm- people saying his short, outside throws might be arm strength issues, are wrong. He has a cannon. His style, at least at this point, is his touch on that intermediate game over the LB's. But if you lose that confidence, those throws don't roll off the hand as well.

He will be fine. Small speedbump, and maybe even one that will be good in the long term. It isn't all going to be easy peasey.

It doesn't matter now but if Dylan's shoulder was really hurt badly I'd have seriously considered putting in Haarberg and doing the HH battering ram offense, no pass plays.

It wasn't hurt bad IMO. I do think he is gonna be sore.

This was really a lost confidence issue. He was scared to throw another INT. And then other throws he makes easily normally, he was off on, also. He lost confidence in himself.

And no - you don't put HH in at that point of the game. Let DR win or lose it, but pulling him (unless really that injured), hurts his bruised confidence even more. Let him play through it all.
