just hoping for no injuries and hopefully Cooper and Lynch can get on track
 
This is embarrassing. It's like they're not even trying to give EJ a chance.

EJ Manuel has looked competent this week and last too.
 
Anyone who was questioning the pessimism before the season should revisit the post. The Raiders winning anything above 12 wasn't happening this season. It's an entirely different energy.
 
Bad logic, and we looked fine week 1 and 2.

We're suffering a terrible three game stretch. Something is obviously wrong, but I don't believe last season was a fluke or that we're the same caliber team from the last decade.

That's reactionary hot take thinking.
 
No huddle needs to be practiced more I don't know why Del Rio preaches it in the off season and uses it sparingly in game. It is one of the Raider's best tools.

Too easy with revisionist glasses on.

How is it bad logic? The Pats don’t look like they did last season, nor do the Giants or Cowboys. Game 5, and we’re struggling. We didn’t lose anyone. In fact our roster has upgraded. Other than the Carr injury, what’s the excuse?

It's bad logic because you tried to use team performance the entire 5 game 2017 season to support your narrative, when really only the past two games fit.

I don't believe in excuses. I believe in analysis and objectivity. We've played poorly these past two games.

Today's first quarter was weird as **** but a lot to still play out.


edit: I question our ability to be competitive with Sean Smith on the field. That's one I can own, I was wrong to give him the benefit of the doubt last season.

Isn’t success in football based on performance? We beat the Titans and Jets bro. Don’t act like we won against great teams.
