A wise person once said, “When a child gets behind the wheel of a car and runs into a tree, you don’t blame the child. You blame the 30-year-old woman who got in the passenger seat and said, ‘Drive, kid. I trust you.’” There’s no chance Pam Beesly could have known her analogy for working …
Blame Josh McDaniels; Jimmy Garoppolo Was Never The Answer For Raiders Read More »
As Raiders HC Josh McDaniels prepares for Monday night, there’ve been some updates regarding Davante Adams, Nate Hobbs, and Aidan O’Connell.
It took less than a month of the 2023 regular season before quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo found himself in a very familiar situation. Another fan base is already calling for his unheralded backup to take his starting gig. Jimmy G arrived in Las Vegas with head coach Josh McDaniels personally rolling out the red carpet for …
Jimmy Garoppolo vs. Aidan O’Connell: Josh McDaniels’ No-Win Situation Read More »
Four weeks into the season, the Las Vegas Raiders have a single victory to their credit.

Wilson and the Raiders faced off against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. The bout ended in a loss that could have been decided by a last-minute touchdown. However, an Asante Samuel Jr. interception ended that fantasy.
Despite another loss for the Raiders, there were some bright spots, namely Daniel Carlson and A.J. Cole. Better than nothing, no?
The L.A. Chargers entered Week 4 with the third-most passing yards per game, and went toe-to-toe with a struggling Raiders defense; this is going to get ugly, quick. Would you believe me if I said that’s not at all how things played out? In fact, Las Vegas held Justin Herbert to the lowest single-game passing yards total of his career, among other things.
Raiders HC Josh McDaniels had lofty praise for Davante Adams on Monday; meanwhile, there is no update on Nate Hobbs for now.
And until coaching and player execution are on par and clicking, the Raiders remain a rudimentary squad looking hopelessly up at the rest of the NFL.
