The 49ers benched Colin Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert gets the start and the win. Then on Monday the 49ers announced that Blaine will start in two weeks 

against the Seahawks. It seems for Colin that his days in San Francisco are over. He will sit on the bench for the rest of the season and then either get traded or cut. For the 49ers they will not have to pay him the $14 million dollars owed to him next season. Is Blaine the answer in San Francisco? The Oakland Raiders played in Pittsburgh and scored 35 points but lost on a last second field goal. The Defense did not show up given up 284 yards to Antonio Brown and don't forget about DeAngelo Williams gaining 170 yards rushing. The Raiders need to regroup and play some defense on Sunday against the Vikings. Let's see how the team responds at home on Sunday.

The New England Patriots look to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl this year. It seems that no one can stop them. There is only 3 teams left that are undefeated. Out of the AFC it is going to be New England, sorry Bengals fans. I think Tom Brady and the Patriots have a mission, to destroy everyone in front of them and win the Super Bowl in San Francisco, Tom Brady's hometown. For the Raiders they have a three game stretch that if they win, will give me a shot at the wild card playoffs. If they can win these next three games, go 7-4 they will have a real shot to make the playoffs. This season is pretty exciting if you are a Raiders fan. They are playing competitive football and for the last 12 years that is all I can ask for.
