Yeah, I know it's only preseason but I'm loving anything that makes the Seahawks look bad.

Derek Carr is making the most of his final preseason opportunity against the Seattle Seahawks.
The rookie quarterback has led the Oakland Raiders to four consecutive touchdown drives to open the game against the Seahawks.
Carr led a 12-play, 68-yard scoring drive to tie the game at 7-7 after Seattle took an early lead. Carr converted a pair of 3rd-and-10 opportunities on the drive before Latavius Murray capped the drive with a 5-yard touchdown run.
Oakland’s special teams then helped set up two more scores.
Keith McGill stripped Seattle kick returner Bryan Walters on the ensuing kickoff which Oakland managed to recover. It took just one play for Carr to connect with Denarius Moore for a 36-yard touchdown behind former Oakland cornerback Phillip Adams for a touchdown.
After a Seattle three-and-out, T.J. Carrie returned the punt 45 yards into Seattle territory. Again, it took one play for Carr to strike as tight end Mychal Rivera reeled a tipped pass by Malcolm Smith for a 20-yard touchdown.
Another three-and-out by Seattle led to another touchdown by Oakland. Carr marched the Raiders 61 yards on eight plays with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Moore to cap the drive and give the Raiders a 28-7 lead.
Carr’s night was done after the fourth touchdown drive of the game and was replaced byMatt McGloin. Carr finished 11-for-13 for 143 yards and three touchdowns. With Matt Schaub battling a sore elbow, Carr put together a terrific final impression before the start of the regular season that may cause second thoughts as to who should start the season opener against the New York Jets.
