Did Chandler Jones retire after signing that I didn't hear about? He has been invisible. Might as well play a one man D Line and add extra LB's and DB's because Crosby is the only one doing anything.
They dumped and ate dead cap on Ngouke to add Jones. Nothing from Jones.

Raiders lack depth. Too many blown draft picks by Gruden really hurting the club now. Will need an off-season and freeing up that dead cap from this season at the tune of $40 million to fix some of the issues on OL/DL/Secondary/ and WR depth.

But McDaniels has to call better plays. With any big lead, the offence has to do their part and gain first downs and move the ball. Have each possession last 5 minutes by gaining 2-3 first downs. Shorten the number of possession in the 2nd half. 1 FG and 3 punts, with a pair of 3 and outs. No good enough. Didn't see the NE dump the ball to the back to gain 4/5 yards. Need more of that in the game plan.

Adam's facing misdemeanor over shoving photographer
Little surprised it’s taking this long for the nfl to render a decision here. Figured we’d hear something by now. Guess cause of the bye week they can wait it out. Maybe the longer it goes without news the better for Adams.

What hurts him is that he did shove the guy which he should not have done. And he also didn’t return to check on him right away. He walked away.

What helps him is that it was a high traffic area at the time and players are leaving the field. The guy is going perpendicular to the flow of traffic so it’s really on him to avoid the oncoming traffic if he needed to cross the tunnel at that point in time. If that piece of equipment was either too heavy or unbalanced for him to quickly navigate his way across the tunnel then he should have gotten some assistance to safely cross it to avoid the exiting players.

At 2-5 and the TDL tomorrow raiders should be active in selling off whomever they can.

Overall the D has been what we expected. Not enough talent on the back end and no depth behind Crosby. Expected more out of the offence. Knew the OL would be an issue but Wallner has been a massive disappointment with a HC that schemed up Gronk. They still struggle in the red zone.

Honestly, if they are bad enough to be in a apposition to take Levis, Hooker, or Stroud, I’d pick the kid and move Carr in the summer. Not a big supporter for Young. Kid has talent and ability, but he’s got to be under 6 feet without the quickness of Murray or the escapability of Russ Wilson. Unless you seriously believe he’s the next Brees I’d pass on him or trade down and let someone else take him.

Lost to a HC with no coaching experience in college or pros. My goodness….

Raiders have failed on their final drives versus Chargers, Cardinals, Titans, Chiefs, Colts, Jaguars to either tie or win the game.

Raiders have submitted trademark for "Win City"
LOL, in a year that most folks in town would like to rename them the "Paradise Raiders" or "Pahrump Raiders" or something to disassociate them from the City of Las Vegas.

Hopefully, Magic Johnson will be able to buy in and bring some smarts to the Raiders Organization, since Mark Davis is yearly proving to have the brains of a radish.

They should probavly not actually use that until it is no longer self-deprecating humor.....

With today's OT loss, I think the Raiders have been eliminated from playoff possibility
Too many close losses which reversed what happened to them last season.

Defence needs a lot of help.

Stidham threw the ball well down the field and showed greater mobility than Carr. Gave his receivers a chance to make plays.

This is how Josh wanted Carr to play. A little more just rip it. Just not in Carr’s dna.
