Raiders @ Bills

[RaiderBeliever]

I did too. I knew this would be a tough game and I was not expecting a win but I expected a better performance. Pittsburgh is 100% beatable and I feel like it's a game we should win or at worst lose closely.

How in the hell would you expect a better performance when you believe the coaching sucks, the play calling sucks, and the line(s) suck(s)? There is no logical reason as to why you would believe we could have had "a better performance" given your take on the status quo of the team. If what you believe is true then you should have fully expected exactly what you saw today, there is no reason for you to believe otherwise.

Stop with your psychobabble BS, you sound really stupid with your narrow minded view and the idea that your weird ass opinion is the only possible reality. You are probably one of those people who gets treated poorly no matter where you go and refuse to believe the problem just may be you and not the rest of the world. STFU already with that nonsense you sound like a broken record. This is my last response to anything you say as it is clear you are incapable of seeing anything other than what you want to believe. Have fun in lala land weirdo.

I don't mean to insult your intelligence but are you an idiot? I expected a better performance before the game started. Then the game happened. Does this make sense to you? Or do I need to explain it further? If I do...you have answered my first question. I'm not trying to be a dick but being hopeful after a decent first game isn't beyond most fans. Especially when you have a coaching staff that has shown nothing but ineptitude.

Don't know what your Mark Davis BS comment is, but obviously you started tripping in the middle of a decent post. Try to keep control of yourself in the future instead of looking like an ass in the middle of your run-on sentences.

The play calling isn't the issue, it's execution and horrendous line play. Bad lines on both sides of the ball do that, they make execution non-existent. Yes, that's coaching too, but the players need to make the plays and they simply don't execute them correctly. It's not that the play calls were bad, if they executed them then we wouldn't be having this conversation. Also, due to lack of being able to execute run plays they play-calling became one dimensional. Why? That's what happens when the players don't execute the play calls and the line plays horribly.

Ok...I'm going to try and take this as slow as possible for you. If I don't touch on everything, I'm sorry...I'm not used to dealing with people who don't fully understand the game of football and how things go hand and hand. When you trot out 22 personnel (2 TE and 2 backs) and then run the ball...every time you trot out that set, the defense keys on that. When you trot out 3 WR sets and then throw the ball every time you do that, the defense keys on that. When you have any combo of a 2 back set and you run the ball over 90% of the time with that type of set, the defense keys on that. Noticing a pattern? When you use a fullback and you only run the ball with him in...does that mean the defense should respect the pass? We don't have Tom Brady. We don't have a top 12 defense. McDaniels hasn't grasped this in now 19 games...which means he's an awful HC, a dumbass, or both.

The line played bad and the execution wasn't there but guess what? The play calling was awful after the first drive. The play calling didn't help the players just like the execution didn't help expand the play book. They go together. We kept trying the same ISO play after Jacobs had -7 yards on the first 3 times. We kept trying the same inside zone play after Jacobs had -1 yard on the first 3 times. So let's KEEP calling them.

So if we keep calling the same play and failing, is that coaching or execution? According to you it's execution. To me...its both...because both are fucking stupid.

Denver loses to Washington, 0-2 at home and goes to Miami next week. Ouch! KC and Raiders tied for first.

[RaiderNationPaul68]

Denver 0-2, to bad KC Won.

[raider jim]

Parham ended two drives with his poor blocking. The first he jumped into the second level letting his go go right by him. The second was when Jimmy scrambled and Parham didn't compensate and push the defender out of the play.

[RaiderNationPaul68]

McDaniels might be overrated, for being a OC, might have been Brady, that carry him, this offense should be able to score.

[DARAIDAHS]

Its not a good sign that we are struggling on offense, usually McDaniels can scheme receivers open and the blocking schemes are usually really good so Jacobs can get through the line almost untouched. I like Garoppolo, but he isn't pushing the ball down the field enough for my liking. He needs to take more chances downfield and use the speed we have with Tucker and Carter.

Defense is what it is, we still don't have a good pass rush to help out our secondary, especially our DTs.

[Garner25]

The offense is supposed to be McDaniels strength if we're in year 3 with the best WR I football and a rushing champ and inconsistencies are still killing us it will not happen with McDaniels...we gona have to wait till year 6 to be a contender? It just looks like what we've seen for the last 20 plus years.....I hope I'm wrong
