Silver And Black Pride
The Las Vegas Raiders are 2-5 coming off their bye week, with the fan base on edge. Raider Nation got a break last week from heartbreak and is hoping for the team to bounce back in Week 9.
Pete Carroll is surprised by the start of the season and expected better results. His choice of personnel and John Spytek’s conservative approach to free agency have left this team without the talent to beat good squads. Many Raiders fans are willing to part with everyone and start over.
In this week’s SB Nation Reacts, we once again ask fans what their confidence is in the team’s direction. In a surpising event the Raider Nation gained a tiny bit of confidence during the bye week. The confidence in the team’s direction rose from 6% to 10% heading into Week 9.
With the Raiders back infront of the their home crowd on Sunday afternoon hopefully they can turn the season around. It looks bleak for fans at this moment but bye week adjustments can help flip the fortunes of what the team has put on the football field during 2025.
