SilverNBlackFan Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 The Carr/Cook not set penalty was the killer. We were ahead of the chains at 2nd and 4, and Lynch was going to close that game out. Too many mistakes. Denver is not a good team but neither are we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 So they weren't 'mentally' into it? Yea that happens when you question the direction when a team trades their best player a week before the season opens. You lose focus and LIE to keep your job but it affects Carr as much as the Defense. This season will not shake that STANK OFF. We can still win games but I don't believe for a second that they believe in Gruden because of the trade. With Mack we win so trading him cost us 1 game so far and counting.

You make approximately zero sense. The Raiders have made the same kind of mistakes for a decade and a half, way before Mack was ever drafted or traded. Are you going to find some dubious links between anything that happens and the Mack trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went into a hostile environment and looked great. Miller played great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your nuts of u don't see the improvement ... we haven't shut out anyone for a half since 2008! We got tired in second half couple with no pass rush. Melvin and conley look pretty good and we just signed 2 dts three days ago Nelson should be on team though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisinBran Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Gotta feed Cooper the ball. Offense looks good when he's involved. Nice to see him focused and using his hands on all his catches today. This game was big for his confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Second week in a row we couldn't establish a running game. Why are we paying Hudson, Osemele, and Jackson $30M this year to get held under 100 rushing yards every week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a hard nosed runner and will get us tough yards but he lacks explosiveness and he isn't a great pass catcher. We are pretty one dimensional with him in there. Martin hasn't shown a thing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruden is supposed to be some offensive guru but I'm just not seeing it. His first 10-15 scripted plays are excellent but when teams adjust he hasn't been able to counter those adjustments. We've been outscored 43-7 in the second half so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
