Las Vegas Raiders

My goodness the offseason Super Bowl champs are doing poorly! NO WINS BABY!! The Raiders took on the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The Titans are a weird team; I can’t figure out if they are good or not. Regardless, the Raiders could not mount a comeback against the Raiders.

The Raiders even blanked the Titans in the second half and nothing changed the offense really could not get going and too many punts led to the Raiders dropping to 0-3 on the season. On paper, this team is littered with talent and the Carr-Adams connection should be gold, but something just isn’t clicking. Maybe Adams needs more targets?

At the end of the day, my favorite thing is this:

HA! I do think the Raiders are about to get their first win, however. Next week, they take on the Denver Broncos and boy are the Broncos struggling too. I know they won last week, but did they really win, or did the 49ers lose the game? I think Carr and the Raiders are likely to exploit the fact that the Broncos don’t know what a touchdown is.

Divisional games are always fun and this one will certainly have something weird happen – I can’t wait.
