808sinfour4time Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 They looked like a 7 to 9 win team with Mack. Without him, they look much more like a 3 to 5 win team. Whatever strides we make on offense with more competent play-calling are more than offset by the effect of Mack's departure on the defense. Assuming we lose in Miami, which I think is more likely than not, then a loss at home to the Browns could really precipitate the downward spiral. That's when the train could really leave the tracks. Though I'm not even certain the powers that be particularly care. Their eyes are on 2020 and opening a shiny new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisinBran Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 5 minutes ago, TLO said: Demoralizing. Smith dropping the 4th down point was the crucial play of the game. Probably win if he catches that. We also had our extra point attempt blocked earlier in the game. Unacceptable. Donald Penn looked like an old man on crutches out there today.

Dodo Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 At least Carr looked to be back on the horse. But yeah, that's a rough one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dessie Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Defense was gassed, no pass rush killed us again. Carr played really well which should keep the doubters quiet for a week at least. Really disappointed we couldn’t close the game out, play calling needs looking at, pretty sure after the Roberts TD we ran the ball on every 1st down, far too predictable.

oakdb36 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Just now, Nodisrespect said: I'll be honest no, but Pff has them ranked 32nd. Maybe the scheme is good but the players are just not here. Ok. they're not hopeless. This is the 2nd game of the season and they were playing in mile high. Our dline is made of rookies and guys we've signed last week. The 1st half is the best i've seen a Raiders D play in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer026 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Carr had his quick release going again today. Difference was he was attacking down the field more, and he looked more like himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaisinBran Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 As soon as the Broncos got the ball back at the end I knew it was over. Our defense cannot be trusted to close out any game with the lack of pass rush. We have to win with our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Everyone crying about Carr week one just STFU. Poor guy. He played so well today and idiots on this team held us back. Thieves this week: Bruce Irvin: flat out sucked Keith Smith: catch may have lost the game Honorable mentions: Reggie Nelson: still garbage Jared Cook: unacceptable holding penalty Donald Penn: looked pretty shaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderX Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Carr bouncing back is a positive. Defensive lind with little time together looked good. Lack of pass rush is gonna be the story all season long. Team isn't gonna sniff the playoffs so you gotta pick the positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raiders90 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Irvin is making like 10M for 1 or 2 plays for game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Raider Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 It’s sucks that we lost that way but I’m not panicking. These were two of the most difficult games on our schedule. I have newfound faith in Carr. Second half playcalling can be a little better but we are making progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true2form Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I know we are all disappointed in the loss guys, but can we please stop with the overreactions. The defense is pretty good all things considered. The offense was clicking for most of the day. Gotta find a way to make a few stops on D and turn FGs into TDs.

dante9876 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 This the best corner play we have had in years, and now we have no pass rush at all. Irvin is a bust as a number 1 pass rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
