worst offensive output since 1961

We might break our own record next week. Texans defence is scary… we might go negative on offence

Would put a bigger eye on offense than what there is already.

Current speculation, per a league source, centers on some sort of a negotiated resolution, pursuant to which Carroll “retires” and gets a portion of what he’s owed. (The Raiders, we’re told, will be financially off the hook as to former coach Antonio Pierce, since he signed only a two-year deal when he got the job in 2024.)

The problem goes much farther than coaching, however, even if the first scapegoat was offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. Three weeks later, the offense looks no better.

The talent isn’t there. As one source remarked, they look like the worst team of the past ten years.

Most teams have two or three great players on each side of the ball. The Raiders have one on defense (Maxx Crosby) and one on offense (Brock Bowers). How long will they continue to tolerate the organization failing to find other high-end performers?

G.M. John Spytek is responsible for the talent, in theory. Minority owner Tom Brady has a part-time role but a full-time voice. How much of the decision-making process for 2025 was directed or at least influenced by him?

Obviously, Brady can’t be fired. But Brady and majority owner Mark Davis will have to decide whether to blow it up again, and whether blowing it up will improve the situation.

Last year, their first choice at head coach (Ben Johnson) opted for the Bears instead, even with Brady’s best efforts to recruit him. Will viable coach and/or G.M. candidates with options elsewhere want to work for a team where the primary owner has delegated so much authority over football to a minority owner who spends the majority of his time doing other things — and who can’t even attend most games because of his primary NFL gig with Fox?

Brady may need to get out of the way, frankly. If he’s going to have a ladle in the stew, the best chefs may not be interested in Sin City’s kitchen.

That’s a key component as to the decisions the Raiders need to make, soon. They need to make things better. Another house cleaning ultimately could make things worse, unless they’re able to win the jump balls for their preferred coach and G.M.

I couldn't believe it when I saw Philip Rivers playing for the Colts. I thought does Philip Rivers have a son that plays in the NFL now?

Didn't watch the second half, no point wasting time.

I saw a clip of Rivers’ son- he’s a high school freshman. He has a nearly identical throwing motion as his dad.

I turned it off and watched PM tear his ACL, any game is better at this point. It might be the only time in my 50 years that I don't want to watch the game. I hope next is better.

We have some things in place we juat need to see what Pete and Spytek are going to do next.

They need time to build a franchise and
Pete is a good builder.

Let's see if they know what we have and what we need next.

We'd be singing a different tune if we had an oline(can be built in a year of free agency and 2 drafts) and a franchise QB.

The problem is when you have spy trying to build for the future and Pete is in win now mode because of his age. The visions don't align

I'd say anything less than a HC saying they're in win now mode is troubling.
What's he supposed to tell the team, that they are in lose now mode?
Its propaganda..

Wife walked in with about a min left in the game with our 4th rescue. She said his name is Maxx. I think she did that so I wouldn’t say no f[raiders_icon]cking way. He never stops and looks like he’s got a dip in 24/7.

Playing aging veterans at the expense of getting younger players playing time. While the older player may give you a better chance of a W at the start of the season, developing the young player will pay off towards the end of the season.

Of course, that depends on being able to draft worth a damn...
