I think that Case Keenum is an NFL starting quarterback.

I think Joseph may be gone as the HC at year's end. He's not a fit.

That hire made no sense to me at the time after watching the Steelers shred the Dolphins defense in the playoffs
And the Dolphins Defense were bad for most of the year, not just in the game against Pittsburgh!

As good as a coach as he was last year, he’s that atrocious this year...
Why they went out and signed Lynch and expected anything out of him is beyond me. He was in retirement mode and a year removed from football. There were much better options out there...they went for the nameplate.
Even last year, Del Rio was not so good...He's a defensive coach and his defense was atrocious last year
I agree for Lynch too.
Last year the Raiders had a point differential of +31 and that was while playing the AFC South, NFC South, Bills, and Ravens. They won a lot of close games last year while Derek Carr was having an MVP caliber year

That week 2 win over the Vikings is looking mightily impressive right now. Diggs and Theilen are also one of the most productive WR duos in the NFL this year and the Steelers held that offense to 9 points
And the Vikings defense have allowed more than 20 points only twice this year .... one of his times were against the steelers!
I saw the Rams-Vikings game as well as the Rams-Seahawks game back in week 5, and that Rams offense seems to look more like the Jeff Fisher iterations of the Rams whenever they play tough defenses. They appear to know how to dominate defenses such as the Colts, Giants, 9ers, and Texans, but they need to learn to move the ball against the tough defenses if they want any shot at making it through the NFC.
Held them to 9 and they had a better running game at that time too...
Lattimore, Kamara... nuff said.
Plus, Ramczyk is the typical Wisconsin O-lineman: above average.
When you add in Marcus Willians, Alex Anzalone, and (my boy) Trey Hendrickson, that is six “hits” in one draft.
Atlanta up 31-20 on Seattle. Seattle definitely missing Sherman and Chancellor
Pete Carroll looked stunned for the majority of the game. He wore that “Eli Manning Face” for pretty much kickoff to missed FG.
They appear to have plenty of talent .

Ken Norton Jr. is fired!! Finally!!! Pagano to take over. Now, if they can/will just fire Downing!

Wasn't it just last year when everyone was talking about how great the Raiders defense was?
It seems like everyone but Del Rio is getting blamed.

Who was saying how great the defense was? The defense has been near the bottom of the league for 15 years! Most of us Raiders fans have been calling for Norton to be fired for the last 2 years. If we can just get rid of Reggie, Del Rio and Downing, we could just start sucking with a fresh slate next year. Reggie is the by far the biggest problem.

The national media and sportswriters last year. The Raiders had become the darlings of the NFL last year until Carr got hurt. I think that they were hyping the defense just because of Mack.
They were 12-4 last year and this year they've completely fallen apart. The defense gave up 24 pts/game last year and have given up 25 pts/game this year. I'm having a hard time finding the defense as being the problem with the team this year. It's the offense that's really fallen off.

The offense has fallen off. That's what happens when you get rid of the guy that led you to being in the top 5 of the league in offense, and replace him with a rookie clip board holder that knows nothing about running a top 5 offense.
The defense has been a problem for a long time. You can't continue to give up 20 - 30 points a game and hope your offense can continue to score 30+ points a game. That's a recipe for failure..... I give you the 2017 Raiders as an example.
