Raiders offense can’t be entirely blamed

For the second straight season, the Las Vegas Raiders offense was one of the worst in the league, leading to the firing of offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. However, as bad as the offense has been this season, it should struggle, as there are some significant holes on that side of the roster.

However, Las Vegas’ defense shouldn’t struggle like it has in recent weeks. The unit has allowed 27 or more points in five of its previous seven games. The Raiders defense was ravaged by injuries and lost more players to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Still, Raiders coach Antonio Pierce was disappointed with their recent performance.

“Look, it’s been disappointing the last couple of weeks,” Pierce said. “I think in the last five weeks we have conceded more than 30 points three of the last five, that’s not up to our level. These guys are fighting against them. the tails are stopping, the problems are showing up now a little in the red zone.

“We were pretty good in the red zone, good on third down. These are now a bit of an enemy to us, and I think we need to fix these things.

“And again, I just talked to the coaches and Patrick Graham about going back to the drawing boards, man, going back to what we do well, breaking down the assignments. And it’s just not the coaches, it’s the players doing their job and what they’re asked to do. And we must do it to the fullest of our abilities.

Although the Raiders’ offense has been particularly bad this season, they were expected to be the team’s weak link. The defense was expected to play much better than it did. Pierce made it clear that the entire team had issues to resolve coming into the bye week.

“So it’s not just about the offensive, even if we made changes on offenseIt’s a team problem. This is a coaching staff that we need to fix first before we go down to the first floor, and we will address that with each other as players and staff because we are all in this together. boat, man.

“Look, not every decision is good, not every player plays correctly, but we have to do it together. We need to stop with the details and the excuses and do our job as best we can.”
