Expect a short recap today. The Raiders looked like poo poo today. There's no way around it.
What the hell did I just see today? This game was unbearable to watch. Damon Annette going down early on this game should've been a microcosm of how this matchup was going to go down.
The offense went from hanging with the Chiefs last week to being absolutely atrocious this week against the Falcons. Gotta give credit, the Falcons have been playing better since moving on from Dan Quinn. And they're pretty much on pace to rebounding to a strong finish.
I wouldn't put too many details on the offense's negatives. The running game was stuffed. Carr and the receivers didn't look like they were on the same page. Fumbles, pick 6, poor play calling overall, and penalties swamped this team. We can discuss time zone differential. But, it was a pathetic display overall.
The only positive I can think is that the Raiders' defense forced two INTs. I'm not sure if you can call that a positive because both times, the ball ricochet off a Falcons receiver. That's how bad this game was.
The game was essentially over when Nathan Peterman took over in the 4th. And you know it's even more bad when they switch over to the Colts-Titans game at the 4:15 mark of the 4th quarter for us here in the Bay Area. Yeah, this was the game in a nutshell. If the team puts up this effort again next week against the Jets and lose, no playoffs. It's as simple as that. I'll see you guys next week.
