Silver Minings: Yearly red-zone awfulness continues

New offensive coordinator, new quarterback, — same old crap in the red zone.

Indeed, it seems like it doesn’t matter who the people involved are, the Las Vegas Raiders’ offense struggles in the red zone year after year.

And, so far, this version of the Raiders’ offense is as bad as it gets inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.

Check out these ugly numbers provided by the Associated Press:

Who’s at blame for this utter failure?
Well, it starts with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, of course, and then there’s quarterback Geno Smith who has been bad in every phase of the game, no matter where the ball is.

It’s just amazing that year in and year out, this same issue persists for this tema no matter what changes are made.
