The league owns a 107.0 passer rating vs the Raiders this season.
For context, Patrick Mahomes is the NFL’s all-time leader, at 105.8. |

I actually think the team moves on. Just wish I could see a top 20 defense someday. I ask for so little. |

7 losses is done, right?
Even if the Faid win out, I don't think you make the playoffs with 7 losses this year. Dolphins, Jets, Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, Titans are all 6-3 or better. That's 6 teams right off the jump that I think manage 11-6 or better. I think a 7 loss team might get in with that last playoff spot, but you'd need a fair amount of tiebreakers. With 5 losses already to AFC teams, I think they're shot even if they win out. And you bet your ass I'll be rooting for them in every game that isn't against the Chiefs at this point. Seeing their season circle the drain by week 10 only to STILL get a shitty draft pick would just be glorious. |

Report: The reason the #Raiders won't fire Josh McDaniels is financial - "They don't have the money to fire him."
The team is "cash poor" and can't afford to fire McDaniels and then pay another coach, according to @BillPlaschke "He'll be the coach this year and next year." |

They just paid for Gruden. Josh is not getting fired.

I'm betting it impacts how they have to structure contracts since the escrow rules require large cash payments for future guarantees. It may well be why trading for an older elite WR in Adams was more appealing to them - they weren't going to have to make escrow payments on 4-5 years with of commitments. The cap is a LOT easier to deal with if you can write large checks here and there. |

This is very good news. Not on par with Marcus Allen playing for the Chiefs type of news but it’s still very good news.

This might have been posted earlier. If it is, feel free to skip this. Send me a PM and I’ll refund the money I charged you to read this.
Mike Sando of the Athletic posted an incredible statistic: The Raiders are one of 5 teams to have led by 17 points in four or more games this year. The rest of the league is 49-3-1 in that situation. The Raiders are 1-3. A .250 winning percentage when the rest of the league has a .9245 winning percentage. Tashan Reed analyzes the various reasons why the Raiders really suck this year, and ironically, not having enough cash to buy out a shitty coach is not in the list: https://theathletic.com/3898492/2022...h-mcdaniels-2/ |
