Have Saturday games always started this early?

Yes...ish

Basically it depends on the calendar.

They always play a Saturday game starting the weekend before Christmas. Sometimes that is Week 15. Sometimes that is Week 16.

Like I can find Saturday games Week 15 as early as 2004

Seems more and more likely Louis Riddick will be SOMEONE's GM soon

He interviews with the Texans today and Lions on Friday. (I believe he already met with the Falcons)

I'll be very surprised if he doesn't end up in Detroit. 

Speaking of Detroit, they just hired Chris Spielman as a special assistant.

I still can't believe Gruden just tried a kick from 65.  

That being said, I have zero idea why football teams in general went away from having the back up QB (or a WR) be the holder.

I think most teams went to having the punter be the holder so they just keep the specialists grouped together/don't take the backup qb away from watching the offense practice.

That's exactly it. Using the punter is a much better use of practice time.

I don't have an issue with the Raiders going for the FG since kickers now make them from 58 to 60 on a semi-regular basis so may as well go for it from 65. Plus I think Mariota has a noodle arm. But the execution was terrible so it was a moot point.

I liked how the Chargers were going out of their way to lose the game but the Raiders stubbornly wouldn't let them.
