After losing a quarterback competition in Seattle and then another quarterback competition in Oakland,
Matt Flynn finally got to start on Sunday for the Raiders. It did not go well.
Flynn fumbled twice, threw an interception, managed just one scoring drive and became the first quarterback this season to make Washington’s defense look good. After the game, Raiders coach Dennis Allen was blunt in his assessment of his quarterback.
“Matt didn’t play well and we have to move on. We have to get better from that,” Allen said.
The crowd in Oakland began to boo Flynn late in Sunday’s loss, and Flynn acknowledged after the game that he heard them loud and clear.
“Yeah, I mean it’s hard not to hear it,” Flynn said. “You just try to focus on your job and do what you can, but it’s definitely hard not to hear.”
It’s also hard not to feel that whatever success Flynn had in Green Bay to make people think he could be a starter, that success said more about the Packers’ offense than it said about Flynn. He should be a backup, and if
Terrelle Pryor is healthy next week, Flynn will be back on the sideline where he belongs.

Flynn is trash... trade him in the offseason for a draft pick. i don't care if the shyt is a 5th or 6th round pick.. get him outta of oakland.... the focus on the offseason with all this money... is getting a quick and fast running back... 3 receivers ( 1 big name free-agent, 1 good college player and a tight end )... at least 2 offensive linemen ( 1 top nfl free-agent and nfl draft)...
defensively... where do i start.. a defensive lineman ( Clowney in the draft and another d-lineman ).... linebackers not bad... secondary on the other hand... need 1 shutdown corner period and at least a ed reed ball hawk at safety..
I know it's easier said than done, especially with the front office the team has
