Las Vegas Raiders / By Ray Leonard Aspuria

Oh snap! Josh McDaniels’ offense can actually look imposing when the Las Vegas Raiders execute. Who woulda thunk it? All jest aside, the broken-*ss record that both Raiders coaches and players spewed since Week 1’s loss up until Sunday’s 32-23 win over the Denver Broncos harped on execution.

Raiders News / By Ray Leonard Aspuria

Now here’s something I didn’t expect. Well, two things, actually: one, the Las Vegas Raiders starting their season at 0-3 and two, pulling the “No sh*t, Sherlock” line this quickly. But here we are. So, indulge me for a second. “We’ve been in three close games. It’s not like we’re not competitive or have an …

When I said the Las Vegas Raiders needed a complete team effort against the Arizona Cardinals, I didn’t mean a complete team losing effort. But hey, at least the Silver and Black did something together, no? The Raiders’ complete collapse that cratered them in an absolutely stunning 29-23 overtime loss to the visiting Cardinals is …

Aspuria’s Assertions: Rudimentary Response, Review of Raiders Week 1

Raiders News / By Ray Leonard Aspuria

It’s both shocking and comforting. That’s your rudimentary response and review of the Las Vegas Raiders’ Week 1 performance. It is appalling that quarterback Derek Carr threw three interceptions in the 24-19 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers this past Sunday.

The Eclectic Eleven. That’s about as good a name as any for the group of Las Vegas Raiders cornerbacks. That’s the 11 cornerbacks on the 90-man roster. And there’s chatter and belief that Silver and Black should add more to that mix.Â Poppycock! I say. There’s no need for more cornerbacks, dance with what brung …

Uncategorized / By Ray Leonard Aspuria

Derek Carr and Divine Deablo will be the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2022 offensive and defensive MVPs, respectively. The Raiders’ Angel and Demon will be the most valuable players on offense and defense.
