Raiders Drop 2022 Opener to Chargers, Plus Maxx Crosby Is Confident in the Mindset for Week 2 | NFL

The OL, Carr, the missed Penalties

We had so many chances early in the game. We had 3 points in the entire first half, with Adams, Waller, Renfrow, and Jacobs on offense. There’s no excuse for that. If the Chargers kept playing hard, instead of playing conservative in the second half, we would’ve gotten blown out.

Rust, it’s the first game for starters.

Sure did, Raiders just didn’t show chemistry & consistency

Carr stinks. But i think he’ll be better the more comfortable he is with this book.

Like more fumbles and picks.

@Janoy Cresva Damn pessimist

Reall football fans understand the game

@Aaron Adams you all said the same thing last year, and was sitting out of the playoffs. Week one, don’t get too excited, worry about who you play next…lol

@Double D we said that in the beginning of the season of last year because Lombardi was playing conservative. Until the 3rd game when he let Herbert play more aggressive. Hes doing the same thing he did last year and theres Raiders fans who agree with that statement

@Ernesto Gastelum bro he threw for almost 300 yards and had 3 tds. That’s top of the league what is conservative about that. Dam they should hire you as OC. Sometimes you have to give credit to the defense. 2nd half Raiders made adjustments as far as coverage . Not every team can play the way the Chiefs do. Not every game is the same either.

@Double D Those stats were mostly in the first half. Do the math. Stop trying to give your defence credit when in fact your defence sucks.

@Cobham’s Finest lol… raiders living rent free, why you here…lmao. never catch me on any other afc west channel. Freaking rent free!

Thats what Tom Brady was so good at in this system. If the OL wasnt holding up, there was always the quick passes.

Facts people be tripping over game one

@Raiders for life exactly

The chargers got conservative on offense and started playing prevent defense

@Clyde Swadener ya right when you down 5 in the fourth quarter you don’t play conservative even your quarterback said it himself that they need to play better in the second half

@shannon churchill exactly but I guess on a positive note all the turnover and sacks we lost by 5. You know what else I don’t understand about DC is that I’ve seen him before be more mobile like look at the colts game last year he played lights out stepped up in the pocket he even ran for first downs he did EVERYTHING right and pulled of the upset but man when we play the chargers he’s has cement feet. Maybe bosa was right you hit him its a wrap he gets all jittery what do you think??

Yes without game speed practice. Is the cause of the passes off. But the O-line has to get better. Parham is awesome. I pray James gets back.

I agree. Maybe ha e them play the first drive of the last preseason game?

@Ronnie Boy Carr is consistently graded as one of the best deep ball throwers in the NFL. Those are supposed to go up high to let the receiver track it down and go past the defender. A line drive throw is too difficult to place and risks hitting the defender in the back or allowing them to swat it.

He’s right and wrong. The aggressiveness led to more difficult, risky, down field passes instead of something shorter that was wide open. But yes, those were great reads that he should have been able to complete as well.

Exactly!! For the 1st time I felt like this team can keep up with anyone. Last season I didn’t feel that way.

In about 3-4 more weeks, Nate Hobbs will no longer be underrated, I guarantee it. He’s my breakout pick this year. I was at the game, and during warmups I pointed him out to my buddy and told him to keep his eye on him, he was on the rise. Saving my receipts.

Also the O-line is good enough.

I had a gut feeling they were gonna lose this first game on the road the same as I have a gut feeling its going to be a fun great season
