What is the Reason for the Raiders’ struggles this Season – FANTASY FOOTBALL FAN SITE
R-Verz

Answer is = Josh McDaniels is their Head Coach

Know Worth

McDaniels, Bill O’Brien, Eric Mangini, Joe Judge, Matt Patricia. Everyone from the Belichick coaching tree is trash except for Vrabel.. and Vrabel was a former all-pro defensive player.

    MrGNugget

    Well Vrabel never coached under Belichick so the point stands. Everyone under the Belichick tree is trash

    MAEX25

    Vrabel never was a coach in NE.

Jayjay Okoro

Lol I like how Schrager isn’t having any of that “give them time” nonsense. It’s clear McDaniels isn’t that guy. Clear as day

    Gary Gagnon

    @Jay M Different mind set. New coaches in Viking land, great draft picks for the Giants.

    1God2SaveMƐ

    I don’t think it’s Josh McDaniel, is definitely the players. Can good plays make bad players good or can good players make bad play calls good ?

    PD Gutierrez

    @Rekcha Josh McDaniels did not relate to his players in Denver!
    He is not motivating his players in Las Vegas. He is a huge part of the problem. Should have
    stayed with the interim head coach. The players played for him.

    PD Gutierrez

    @Gary Gagnon Absolutely agree with Gary! This head coach McDaniels was a terrible hire. The
    replacement coach had the team respect. To drop Leatherwood from Alabama
    was a terrible decision. This coach needs to be more player friendly, not so aloof.

    Sanjesh Lal

    EXACTLY !!!!

volkerball

It’s absolutely like the first time McDaniels was a head coach. Dude is not paying attention.

Adam Hartje

So McDaniels was awful in Denver, gets another chance in LV for some reason, then tanks a playoff team to a bottom 5 team… and we need to give him time!?

Lmao getting outcoached by a guy who’s never coached a game before in his life was the perfect time to get rid of McDaniels, and they just showed last year that they can win with anybody at HC like Bisaccia

    Rekcha

    First, they were a very lucky playoff team. They were worse than their record and got lucky that the Chargers screwed around in their final game. As for this year, the offense, led by McDaniels, is actually top ten in terms of points and yards per drive. The defense, however, is bottom 3 in both of those categories and has the fewest total takeaways and sacks in the league. I really don’t think it’s McDaniels. The drafting by Gruden and Mayock has killed the defense.

    Adam Hartje

    @Rekcha Where are you getting your numbers? They’re not top 10 in either scoring or yards dude.

    Saying they were a lucky playoff team seems a little off being that they lost to the AFC champs by 1 score (especially with that early whistle on the Boyd TD) so it seems like you’re just trying to be a contrarian here.

    Also weird how you omit the fact that Rock Ya Sin and Chandler Jones were moves made in the McDaniels era that decimated the defense. You know that McDaniels is the Head Coach right? Not just the OC

    kendall Evans

    @Rekcha Are you his cousin or something? The guy is clueless, wake up and watch a game if you haven’t, and it sounds like you haven’t

    kendall Evans

    Exactly! He loses to a guy with 3 days on the job?

C Maurice

Are they kidding me. The Raiders were up every GAME at half time except New Orleans. Only to lose the lead. Someone has to go. This team should have only 1 lose.

bruce lau

answer is = Josh McDaniels is their HC , why did they had to get rid of Rich Brascia ? like he was actually a great fit for the Raiders and Derek Carr for sure
but definitely he has to get blamed for their struggles 100%

Justin Marmon

It doesn’t take time…. Look at Miami!

Peter is right.

Dave Mauriello

How Josh is still employed after losing to a team without a proper coach is beyond me but as a Chiefs fan I say yeah, give him time. LOTS of time. LOL

    Z

    There are ppl called offensive and defensive coordinators who have experience in the NFL buddy

    Eunji

    @Z bro Jeff Saturday was on his couch like two weeks ago 😂never was a coordinator

Celci

Reminder that Josh Mcdaniels very recently coordinated the infamous Cam Newton Patriots offense and relied on God to score for him after going all in on Tim Tebow.

Irish Roc

The Raiders Gained More Talent this off-season but Lost Alot of Heart 2-7 is Unacceptable For Raider Fans Who Are Truly Raider Nation Some thing is Def Wrong

Garroke

Short answer: Josh McDaniels.

Long answer: Josh McDaniels, an owner who looks at this team and believes the coach is competent, and some questionable draft picks not working out over the last few years.

Daunte Wimmer

The problem I’m having with josh is not with his system and trying to implement it. My problem with him is why are we so bad? Why does my team look so uninspired to play football anymore? Why are guys so frustrated to the point where they’re doing uncharacteristic things? Why do we keep losing in the fashion we’re losing in? Why can’t we score a point against bad teams? Why is are locker room divided and you haven’t stepped in to do anything about it yet? Why do you never step up and take ownership of you and your coaching staffs mistakes and instead always give the same bs copy and paste answers to every tough question? That’s my problem with that dude. Not implementing a system. A fact that you’re team is falling apart right in front of you and it doesn’t look like you’re trying to piece it back together.

    PD Gutierrez

    McDaniels must have been listening to coach Nagy of Chicago. Nagy was all about his
    system and never developed Mitch Trubisky as he should have done.
    Nagy was a terrible head coach, but he knew plays. He knew schemes. He was just not a head coach.
    I give Coach Jeff Saturday a big plus. He played offensive line, a center. He went through
    the plays with quarterback and blocking schemes every week for 14 years. He knows
    football from the trenches, what did Josh do???? He was a coach with Bellick.
    I wish Jeff all the success. Same with the head coach with TITANS.

    Daunte Wimmer

    @PD Gutierrez agreed,I’m not denying that josh doesn’t know his stuff. He’s a great OC,he just doesn’t seem to be great coaching material. A lot of guys that come from the Belichick patriot branch aren’t though,they always find themselves going back.

2016 Raiders: Jack Del Rio leads team to the playoffs for the first time in years.
– Del Rio fired after the 2017 season

2021 Raiders: Makes the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
– Fires GM and lets go of entire coaching staff after the wild card loss

I hate Mark Davis

    Rusty T

    2001 Raiders: Al Davis foolishly trades Gruden to TB for a busted bic lighter. Pain ensues, pain everywhere to the present day. Mark is a continuation of those bad decisions.

    Christian J. Zamora

    Yeah, buddy, that 2017 season was atrocious. Even with Beast Mode they still underperformed and weren’t playoff caliber.

    Daniel Meeker

    @Rusty T Been a Raiders fan for 35 years. Davises will cut off their noses, to spite their faces.
    See: Marcus Allen

    Matthew Davis

    Del Rio sucked. Ken Norton Jr. was retained and Trestman was let go after 2016.

    Kenneth McLitus

    Del Rio was the right HC for this team, when they let him go it was over, they got in win now mode.

aaron noriega

Good coaches get the best out of their players. Not trying to make players fit into their system. The new coaches & regime took a playoff team that was less talented & turned it into the worst team in the league

dumars

28th in points on defense, 32nd in getting TO’s, 32nd in redzone defense. Last in sacks. What winning team in the NFL has a defense like that? Last year the defense could at least hit the QB. This week old Ryan was hit one time. And then ran around the end on 3rd and 3 and then went 39 yards down the sideline, wut.

    Darth Nihilious dad

    Defenses also carried McDaniels. More chances for him to call deep shots on 3rd and short.

    Steve

    Its obviously Carrs fault. He hits receivers in the hands and he needs to play better defense.

    PD Gutierrez

    @Steve it is obviously head coach Rich Brascia fault for leaving the Raiders after only 2 months.
    Raiders can not afford to release McDamiel, too expensive after Grueden.

1God2SaveMƐ

The fact that the raiders went to a the playoffs with a completely different coach and Scheme has nothing to do with this year. It’s not that they are losing it’s how they are losing. This team is pathetic and like Carr said everyone on the team is not bought in

Kenneth McLitus

One of the things to note is that they released their first round pick offensive lineman (Leatherwood) and a corner who they needed to start (Mullen) before the year. I think those things did more harm than good because both of those areas of the team have underperformed. From a coaching aspect I think the team started to become one sided and other players weren’t getting involved. I must admit, it has been shocking to see them blow big leads not only in games that make a statement but in games where the QB is playing well.

    Kenneth McLitus

    @Christian J. Zamora That’s right I remember that being reported, that’s a good point. He definitely reached on the players he drafted. There’s going to be so much attention surrounding the draft now because so many players flamed out.

    Mad Russian13

    Corner they needed 😂 he’s missed 3 of 5 games and played under 30% snaps in the other two. He was another bust from Gruden and leatherwood was horrible. He can’t even make it on a depleted bears line. I’m not even sure most people who comment watch football

    Kenneth McLitus

    Ok, granted. Who are the players who were supposed to take their place ?

    Mad Russian13

    @Kenneth McLitus it doesn’t matter NEITHER are playing for their new teams. Mullen can’t stay healthy, never could. Leatherwood could be replaced by any offensive lineman in football. He isn’t even playing for the Bears. Gruden screwed them for a decade with his horrible draft picks early

Townsend Heal

Well the HC has a 30% winning record . Speaks for itself . This team went thru crazy adversity last year — still went to the playoffs with the current QB.

Marty Mar

I have been a Raiders fan for almost 40 years and I think the last 20 yrs has destroyed my mental health. Watching them shoot themselves in the foot repeatedly is the only thing they have done consistently for decades. At this point I have to believe that Marc Davis must be betting against his own team because that level of stupidity just doesn’t seem possible. Then again he sports the worst haircut in the world and refuses to give up on his stylist (I could do better if I just threw scissors at him while walking by 😉
