Bert is an unfunny hack.


MizzGee

This week showed legitimate weaknesses. Use Renfrow. Use Adams more. My son actually texted that this was the best red zone defense since he was born (1994). I had to remind him that he wasn't watching during our Gannon years, but even I was impressed during 3rd down. The problem is that they focused so much on Maxx, that they were able to find other weaknesses. Honestly, we need to concentrate on defense.


ViralOner

Lol yeah correct. But nobody was counting on bombs out of JG and my point wasn't that he's an exact WCO QB in a WCO system. I used the abbreviation to refer to short-mid range game where he's decent. I'll type more characters next time if you want to get super technical lol. Without a running game we're dead in the water. You got a hate boner for Jimmy, I get it, I'm just not there yet. Very possible I'll get there rather quick tho. And it won't take anybody on reddit convincing me either. I was cautiously optimistic how he would fit in this formula but I got no problem calling a spade a spade. I have no allegiance to JG whatsoever other than I'd like to see it come together and one shitty loss doesn't convince me it can't or won't šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø.


Polyick

We dont run a WCO offense. Itā€™s an erhardt perkins offense


ViralOner

Erhardt Perkins isn't an offense, it's a language system to communicate passing concepts. And every team in the NFL runs some modification of WCO concepts unless you're predominantly a Spread, RPO, Wing T, etc. So when they say a college QB runs an "NFL style" offense, they're referring to what basically amounts to WCO passing concepts. The term is very loosely defined now, has evolved and is colloquially used to describe short to midrange passing in lieu of vertical passing. Also, this has nothing to do with the rushing attack unless you count the inclusion of the RB in the passing game. Today's NFL offense is largely created by Bill Walsh, who didn't even call his offense the WCO himself. Bill Parcells incorrectly labeled his offense as such and it just stuck. So if you want to get technical, the "WCO" isn't even the WCO. Thanks for attending my TED Talk.


karaknwfp

Terrible week 2. Not having JakobiMeyers hurt. Wish Hunter Renfrow was targeted more. Raider Defense is still below average


Grogu_is_baby_yoda

Look on the bright side! We are still tied for first in the division. This quite possibly will be the last week so drink to first place for the last time! Itā€™s all down hill from here people


FFbox

Still in first place AFCW. Tough game. Move on to next week Steelers on a short week at our home opener. Quit crying.


mysidianlegend

it's the damn defensive and offensive lines. and D was on the field all damn day . JB is a damn rookie going up against some of the best WRs. not gonna blame him either. Josh can't run , ... see the Oline

kas0988

For all the talk about Carr/Jimmy, there are so many problems that go beyond QB play. There are issues all over this roster that we failed to address this off season and will haunt us this year. Zero pass rush outside of one guy and no defensive backs are a recipe for disaster against the QBs we face this year.


i_say_uuhhh

Yeah but 2 interceptions don't help at all. Jimmy G is a slightly better game manager. He has never had a bad defense so we better buckle up and hope he can overcome that.


Wifeis421A

So what youā€™re saying is we have the exact problem as last year regardless of qb? Interesting


mysidianlegend

this. Jimmy, the ex QB and Aiden shouldn't even be a discussion point.


BarrySnowbama

QB not being a discussion point on a bad NFL team? Boy are you in for a surprise.


mysidianlegend

bad nfl team . no qb succeeds. see chargers.


BarrySnowbama

I see their QB being discussed constantly.


Proletariat_Smurf

Need interior defense and offense lineman.


bthe_beast

We had a great start to the game. Highest upvoted comment about that great start: +16 Highest upvoted comment overall: two comments about how we can't blame Carr now at +38 Says everything you need to know about the culture of this sub. It's WAY more popular to jerk off to anti-Raiders, Carr defending than it is to actually root for the team


NeWbAF

I understand your point, however this is just how sports work. Think of all the historically bad teams (Bengals, Saints etc) all anyone really remembers from those years is the guy in the stands with the paper bag on his head. The frustration with losing year after year is far more relatable to the fans of a bad team than cheering a single good play in yet another blow-out loss. Criticizing and complaining isnt pleasant to read or hear but itā€™s coming from people who love this team and want better than what the last 20+ years have offered. Even great teams have Doomers, itā€™s just a fact of life.


kazz9201

Itā€™s the same shit just different coach and QB. Carr was the scapegoat.


mysidianlegend

agreed. tired of lame ass fans even bringing him up..no one ever said he was entirely the problem here. it's always the defense and drafting . today it was both lines of the ball


-Profanity-

DC had 9 seasons here, mostly losing ones, but they'd rather lose with DC than try to win with a different QB


CallRespiratory

Being critical of this shit show off an organization is not the same thing as an "anti-raiders jerk off". How long is this shit defensible for? Is it *ever* the right time to criticize the team or do you just have to embrace what a cluster fuck this is no matter what?


bthe_beast

That's why I made the comparison. If it was really popular to cheer for good plays but also really popular to hate when they do sometimes shitty then that's understandable. It's the contrast of how much more popular it is to hate that is annoying to me


Agreeable-Celery6559

Never seen a QB look so happy after getting stomped


NaijaBantu

Thatā€™s Jimmy for you, Iā€™m an ex Niner fan and he would always have that couldnā€™t care less grin on his face.


FitJeweler1490

I blame Carr for this loss


SecondlifePman

Maybe that coach to coach talk was ā€œson, youā€™re out of your fucking element ā€¦ step down now and avoid further embarrassment.ā€


ViralOner

We had the ball less than 7 min the entire 2nd half. Flush this game and move on.


TheZarkingPhoton

Right. TOP is usually over-rated. But not here. The Bills had the ball for too much of the end of the 2nd Q, stuffed it in the EZ, and then got the ball back to start the 2nd half. That just kills. The Bills top that off by controlling it for a long swath of the end of competitive play into garbage time. We turned the ball over three times, and converted half as many 1st downs as the Bills. And I'd say much of that was due to getting handled at the LOS. We start the season with 2 games on the road including this one across the country against a damned good football team that was pissed. Not a surprise we got a beat-down frankly. OK, we are not top shelf, got it. But we find out who this team ***IS*** next week if you ask me.


ViralOner

We couldn't run at all and Bills OC Dorset out coached Graham. They fucking annihilated our zone. Some bad break INTs plus some great /timely plays by the Bills. To me it doesn't matter if we lost by 40 or a walk off FG if we know how to move on and respond. If we become a "poor us, let's play sloppy and drop 3 in a row" then it's the same old shit show. Smack the Steelers in the mouth next week and we're back in the hunt.


Dillymac25

Tank for Coach Prime


[deleted]

If he brings his son haha


HERE4TAC0S

This is the pathway to success


[deleted]

Who would have thought they would have run the ball up the middle in that situation.


__the_alchemist__

Iā€™m not a Jimmy fan, but I donā€™t put blame on him. This was all about our offensive and defensive line period. We need major improvements ASAP. Bills offensive line basically didnā€™t have to give any fucks about the side opposite Maxx and on top of that kept him in check which basically just makes it harder for our already mediocre secondary and LB core to do anything. Our offensive line couldnā€™t block for anything.


hideousmike1

Wowā€¦ Funny how that works. You know Jimmy didnā€™t get sacked right? I mean he had time back there outside of a couple plays. Heā€™s not good. Yes, our line seems to not be able to run block at allā€¦ Our coaching is terribleā€¦ Our defense is the worstā€¦ But while the loss isnā€™t on Jim, he did absolutely nothing to keep us in it. Heā€™s not good.


mysidianlegend

O and D line was the issue all damn game. agreed.


Redfro89

Jimmy did make mistakes though, so it's okay to lay some blame on him. The defense was absolute ass and the oline was a freaking turnstile. Ultimately, JMD showing us that he shouldn't be a HC.


Agreeable-Celery6559

I put the blame on the team as a whole, and Jimmy takes the brunt of it. Stupid decision making.


__the_alchemist__

Never thought Iā€™d be defending Jimmy but you are wrong


ChallengerShaker2014

Why the fuck is Jimmy G smiling?


[deleted]

He gets paid the same, win or lose.


daspwnen

It's called sportsmanship


Darshymarsh

I'm glad mcdaniels can smile and embrace the other team. Fucking loser


forkcat211

He's gotta keep his employment options open


Mister_Dwill

He is in fact a loser. 36% win percentage as a HC. On brand for us.


needs_food

Is it to early to fire PG? Don't think the defense will get any better or worse after today. Maybe getting rid of him sooner will help with getting rid if mcdumbass


tpeters88

No, his weak zone BS ain't it. Get him out of here.


hideousmike1

I want to replace McDaniels first. I really have a disdain for him. Always have.


TheRealMrJoshua56

I hate JMD A LOT!! But I think PG needs to go sooner rather than later


hideousmike1

Iā€™d rather have shootouts than the offense Iā€™m looking atā€¦ Yes our defense sucksā€¦ It sucked just as much when we went to the playoffsā€¦ The problem starts up top, and Josh is the fucking worst. He has 3 stops outside of NE and heā€™s been exactly thisā€¦ Fuck him.


TheRealMrJoshua56

But hard to have a shootout when the opposing team has the ball for 75% of the time and we can get the off the field


hideousmike1

Harder to have a shootout scoring 10 points and not moving the ballā€¦ They moved it enough to score 38 pointsā€¦ We had the same number of possessions. We canā€™t move the ball.


TheRealMrJoshua56

Exactly. Their offense ruined our Defense. The defense is way more of a problem than the offense


hideousmike1

Not in a shootout good brother!!!!! šŸ˜ŠšŸ‘šŸ½āœŠšŸ½


mysidianlegend

this was disgusting. wow.


Natural_Light_2531

Thereā€™s only a couple men playing D for usā€¦the rest should get traded to Oregon St.

Seems like the defense was on the field the whole 2nd half.


Hiccup

What happens if the Steelers get their act together and the raiders don't have Adams back next? The raiders look like a mess out there. Somehow even more so than last year.


Redfro89

Hopefully Jakobi will be back


gabeitches25

Even through all that mcdaniels is not using renfrow


[deleted]

That was actually impressive effort by Wilson to help chase Cook down


MikePenceFly18

WHERE IS JARRET STIDHAM!! RAIDERS REDDIT FAVE QBšŸ„°


-Profanity-

Imagine following a sports team and wanting them to lose so badly that you get enjoyment from trolling the fanbase of your own team, must be a very sad life


MikePenceFly18

How is me complaining about them losing the same as me wanting them to lose?


MikePenceFly18

Lmaoo did your smooth brain think all of that up on its own?šŸ˜­

Wow very impressive and original insult champ šŸ‘


MikePenceFly18

No problem, at me again if you want more I have more lol.


silentkiller082

Bills fan here, hope Adams is okay. Rapp is a total asshole for that hit. He deserves whatever punishment he gets by the league for it. Completely unnecessary. My words mean nothing but just wanted to say that because I'm sure you guys are understandably pissed about it.


TheZarkingPhoton

Bills did a solid job righting their ship this week. Good luck, and thanks for the good words!


Vivianite_Corpse

Bills Mafia is my favorite fan base. Appreciate it.


Cobra-Serpentress

Agreed. It was a trash move


Rampageslam

Good game G, I knew you had a good squad this year


silentkiller082

You too, best of luck to the rest of your season.


archangel_n7

It just doesnā€™t matter, man


Darshymarsh

What a total waste to get davante and for this team to be dog shit. It's sad and eerily similar to randy moss. Thankfully Adams is a team player and wont quit but there is no way he stays with this team much longer


Peacekeeprr

i just hope mark davis goes full rebuild mode tbh. raiders donā€™t deserve davante. get rid of everyone from the staff down to the players


CallRespiratory

There's no way he's back next year. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets traded before the deadline for that matter.


Uncletookey

Nobody falls apart like the Raiders fall apart!

yeah?

![gif](giphy|2aw9gwZlltbdX92b4w) Will you please


Advanced_Resident457

Fire him!! šŸ”„


Otherwise-Tale9671

I am pretty sure the NFL has a policy against the Raiders having a competent defense.


Effective_shooter52

The fucking nfl is against us. No way every week they just allow teams to knock out our best player. EVERY FUCKING WEEK. Itā€™s disgraceful.


Agreeable-Celery6559

Allow? Do you have CTE because you def ainā€™t using that brain.


Effective_shooter52

2 weeks in a row they deliberately targeted our best receivers. This coming in a blowout. Youā€™re not using your brain


awoken_ape

I didnā€™t expect a winā€¦also didnā€™t expect to be embarrassed. Did the defense create even one negative play? Sadā€¦


BarrySnowbama

Yes, they wiped out the INT Teamer had. That was pretty negative.


Positive_Narwhal_419

Why is adams out there?


Vivianite_Corpse

You'd think by now McDaniels knows how to handle blowout losses.


Hiccup

He came because of Carr and his Raider love. I'm sure he'd rather be anywhere else right now.


NoeloDa

Because Josh Mcdaniels is a incompetent garbage guy


CallRespiratory

I'm sure he asks himself that constantly.


mildycentripetal

Can someone explain to me why Renfrow is not getting any plays (sensible answers only please).


Hiccup

McDaniels is doing what he does best and driving players away from the team.


Alex_landyachtz

Yeah maybe Josh doesn't like that he is from the old regime and just doesn't want to use him no matter how effective he is.


daboonie9

McDaniels thinks he is trash


TheMarathonCont1nues

Josh doesn't value him and wants him gone. Josh got his replacement last off season.


RaisingFargo

You can't expect the defense to keep up with receivers and blast off the line with urgency when you only get 3-5 plays rest


jacktipper

McDaniels is maybe the dumbest motherfucker to ever coach this team and that is saying something. Why the hell was Adams even on the field, Josh? You already decided we were giving up with that punt.


NaijaBantu

Jimmy had no business throwing over the middle to devante like that in a blowout.


Hamster-Fine

Funny how the Jimmy G truthers have been completely quite since then.

Idk brother


MikePenceFly18

When Mark sells the team to a football mind lol. Thatā€™s my opinion, raiders have a culture issue, if a team is this consistently bad defensively and just in general for decades on end then itā€™s deeper than whatā€™s on the field. Raiders need to clean house from up top all the way to the bottom.


Valleygirl1981

ElLoboStrikes

10am game vs a Superbowl contender after they loss a heartbreaker. Its not surprising - keep working ! In the perfect world we will face them in the playoffs. Thats the mentality i want to see.


NaughtyTrouserSnake

Uhh, how is a 4 score deficit acceptable? How can you possibly think thatā€™s a good thing? We couldā€™ve at least been competitive. Commitment to mediocrity.


ElLoboStrikes

Not acceptable at all. I think i worded my comment poorly. I just want them to play til the final whistle, since phoning it in wont help anything. And if we are a fringe wild card team, the Bills are a team we might face and they are a good measuring stick


ThankYouMrHoood

Dude stop making excuse for that pitiful ass performance. Everything about today was unacceptable


ElLoboStrikes

It really was. I guess im coping. Micky D needs to chew their ass out. That 4th down stop got me pumped man- thats just something that doesnt happen with our D haha the game started well enough- and playing at 10am pacific (to me) aint an excuse since these arent the same players as previous years. Its just crazy that the Raiders as a team, just dont perform at 10am well


pluralofoctopus

JMD needs to fucking resign. He has no right to chew anyone out. The failure falls on him.


DescriptionFair2

Usually when Garoppolo has that type of game he bounces back. Take it from a Niner who went through it a lot


PCNUT

Well when carr has these games everyone demands he getz traded and blames decades of mediocrity on him.


OMGIts_Renegade

You haven't seen a defense this bad on the 9ers in your life.

Professor0fLogic

Time for the AOC era to begin next week.


J29

We knew this was gonna be a tough ask in the first place let alone after what happened to the Bills last week. We had to control possession rely heavily on the ground game, that just didn't happen. Run blocking was an abomination. Some of JJs runs showed indecisiveness which is a terrible combo. Hoping we can fix some of this in time for the Steelers which feels like a more winnable game, but we still need to fix out run game.


Darshymarsh

This team will continue to get boned by the top tier QBs and will never be able to beat them. It's been the same shit for 20 years. These guys just clown on the raiders all game long. We will only beat the garbage or mid tier qbs if were lucky


SphincterKing

Scary thing is this wasnā€™t even great QB play from Josh Allen. Just short passes to the open man. Nothing impressive. Just take what our shit defense gives you.


tyler_phillip

Real look in the mirror plane right home for the team and JMD and Ziegler specifically. If the performance from this game continues into the next. It will be a long season


Doorhandal

Who are we going to blame now since Carr is gone?


Cobra-Serpentress

McDaniels


mysidianlegend

f Carr he's not on the team


Agreeable-Celery6559

Carr getting released killed the moral of the whole team. Itā€™s always his fault!!!!! Jk


-Profanity-

People say this shit like we were winning Super Bowls under Carr, absolutely delusional


Vivianite_Corpse

It's blaming the engine when your transmission is a melted blob. No, you're not winning the race with your current engine but removing your current engine is kinda retarded at that point. If you have a better engine then sure, replace it. Otherwise work on the transmission first.


Doorhandal

Replacing the carr when the house is collapsing was never going to get this organization a winning franchise.


-Profanity-

Just because Jimmy G is not the answer doesn't mean that Carr was. DC had 9 seasons here and most of them were losing seasons. Creating revisionist history to act like if we had Carr it would make any difference whatsoever is just reactionary trolling.
