Coaches these days don’t care so much about one victory, unless it’s followed up with another one and, perhaps, two or three more. It’s all about “stacking up” victories. Raiders head coach Jon Gruden is a firm believer in this mind-set, and he viewed Sunday as a golden opportunity for the Raiders to stack up
Raiders lose to Chargers, helpless as season slips away
Jon Gruden, Paul Guenther, Derek Carr among long list of those to blame in latest loss
Carr looked lost again. Raiders looked like they were still in their PJs without their first cup of coffee. Terrible terrible terrible
Worst game of the game by far. Raiders looked flat. They looked discombobulated.
Just a bad showing all around.
4 win season looks to be the team’s ceiling
Everyone takes a hand. Losing and winning are both team games.
How about that high paid O line? I know, two rookie tackles and a replacement at LG. Its not like they were consistently dominating before today. Good, yes. Domination, I think not.
Mack is gone, likely never to return. RM is to blame for Mack leaving, not Gruden. RM paid all that money to Carr and Jackson along with high priced FAs Osemele and Hudson. When Penn bellied up to the bar, RM paid him too. No extension for our best player though.
Can we finally say that Cable is not the greatest O line coach. These players do not fit “his system”.
A little slack for Conley in my book. Not much, but a little as he is a rookie according to playing time. Worley looked good for the most part.
There will be some serious additions next year. Players who Gruden believes he can count on. Those under contract and likely getting their asses hit by the door on the way out include Irvin, Penn and Whitehead. Not to mention all those on one year contracts. Could we see Osemele and Jackson tossed aside too? That would make things even worse for Raider fans who lost Mack due to money.
Pretty shitty start to the season. FUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, if this continues with Carr, Raiders have to pick a QB in the first round.
Carr will not play out his contract. This team is bad, and I mean bad like the Browns for years. This is a total rebuild. Expect another 4 years of not making he playoffs. Carr will never play in a playoff game as a Raider, and possibly never anywhere. If they are smart, they will rebuild properly, draft defense, and then more defense, and in the late rounds, draft defense. The cornerstone of this D is gone, you need to find another, and build around him. This is more than a season lost, this is obliterating everything you have, and starting from scratch. That is how things will eventually turn around.
Was at the game. Pathetic. Total rebuild. This is actually all on Del Rio. Because he fired Musgrave. Lol
Why the coaches avoid calling a handoff to Beast Mode on (whatever down) and Goal from the 1 is beyond me!
This is ridiculous! Carr has to play better. Gruden hamstrung the defensive side of the ball which means that his offensive/QB genius mind has to make sure that the offense puts up points and controls the game. I think this roster is actually worse than the team last year. At least that team won 7 games, this team looks like they will be lucky to win two.
