The Las Vegas Raiders are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The 40-6 loss is their second blowout loss on the road of the season, and everything looks dim for them as we advance into the season.

When the team picked up Geno Smith this offseason, they expected him to be the right ship at the quarterback position. It has become the opposite, where he has thrown nine interceptions through five games and is off to the worst start of his career. Plus, the defense, which was talent-deficient heading into the season, is starting to look that...

For too long, opponents have used matchups against the Las Vegas Raiders as a get-right game.

That notorious Silver & Black narrative needs to change this Sunday against the visiting Tennessee Titans.

Because, in the Battle of the Bad — both the Raiders and Titans are 1-4 overall after five games into the 2025 season — the Raiders must rise to the occasion and this is the perfect opportunity to do so. Taking advantage of Tennessee is mission critical due to the fact Las Vegas won’t see another downtrodden opponent for about six weeks (the Cleveland Browns in Week 12)....

While the Las Vegas Raiders have a Week 6 matchup against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, at 1-4, most of Raider Nation’s focus is on the upcoming trade deadline, the 2026 NFL draft and free agency. So, trade proposals and the offseason will be the primary focus for this week’s mailbag.

**Q: Many Raider fans don’t like the sound of this, but don’t you think the Raiders need to trade Maxx Crosby? What do you think they could get in return? I’m very curious as to how many picks and what rounds they would be in. I’m surprised he hasn’t...

Heading into the Week 6 matchup against the Tennessee Titans with a 1-4 record, the Las Vegas Raiders should be looking to give younger players on the roster more prominent roles moving forward. One of the biggest candidates should be rookie cornerback Darien Porter.

With Eric Stokes out last week, Porter made his first NFL start against the Indianapolis Colts. He also came off the bench in the two prior games and has been solid so far. He’s given up just one catch for nine yards on three targets and made a few tackles as a run defender to earn...

It’s time for our weekly Las Vegas Raiders game predicitons.

I’m 4-1 picking Raiders games tis season and they, of course, are 1-4 and have dropped four straight games, with three of those losses being by double digits.

Normally, I would stay away from picking the Silver and Black while they are mired in such a big funk.

But their opponent is the Tennessee Titans and they are awful. Like the Raiders, Tennessee is -14 with their one win coming last week in a miracle one-point win at the Arizona Cardinals in a game the Titans had a one percent...

The Las Vegas Raiders are set to take on the Tennessee Titans in a Week 6 matchup between two 1-4 teams. To preview the contest for Raider Nation, we reached out to our friends at Music City Miracles, and Jimmy Morris was kind enough to answer a few questions about the Titans.

Q: How has Cam Ward looked during the early stages of his career? What are his biggest strengths and weaknesses right now?

A: Ward has been up and down to start the season. He was better than the numbers showed in the first two games. He then struggled...

The more things change, the more they stay the same. At least for the Silver & Black.

Despite regime changes, that include a myriad of general managers, head coaches, play callers, and rosters, the red zone remains a dead zone for the Las Vegas Raiders. Current GM John Spytek, head coach Pete Carroll, and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly are the latest trio to experience the Black Hole known as red zone woes.

“Allergic to the end zone” isn’t hyperbole when it comes to Las Vegas. Through five games so far, the Raiders have made 14 red zone trips and scored...

The Las Vegas Raiders recently promoted wide receiver Alex Bachman to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.

Let’s take a closer look at Bachman:

Size:

6-0, 190 pounds.

NFL experience:

He signed as undrafted free agent with the Los Angeles Rams in 2019. He was cut after training camp. He was signed to the New York Giants’ practice squad later in 2019 and spent most of the 2020 season on the Giants’ practice squad. He spent some time on the Giants’ practice squad in 2021 and was cut in the summer of 2022. He spent time on the Houston...

The Las Vegas Raiders got some good medical news Friday when star punter A.J. Cole performed well in his first work since suffering a low-ankle sprain in Sunday’s 40-6 loss at the Indianapolis Colts when he was injured on a blocked punt.

After practice, Las Vegas coach said he expects Cole to play Sunday when the Raiders host the Tennessee Titans at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1:05 p.m. If Cole has an unexpected setback and can’t play, the team will elevate newly signed Brad Robbins from the practice squad to punt Sunday. Officially, Cole is listed as...

The Las Vegas Raiders are struggling at 1-4 with four straight losses.

The Pete Carroll era has started much rougher than expected and there has bene some odd happenings for the team that may suggest issues persist beyond the playing field.

Let’s look at some of the developments that have happened so far:

The JPJ thing:

During the offseason program, it appeared second-year player Jackson Powers-Johnson was set at center. Then training camp started and the team inserted Jordan Meredith at center and put Powers-Jackson in a competition with veteran signing Alex Cappa that extended into the regular season. Powers-Jackson...

As many of you are likely aware, Google searches are … different these days.

When you search for the latest on Maxx Crosby’s dominance as a defensive terror or Ashton Jeanty’s status update or who will be the next great quarterback the Raiders draft, you’ll get an AI search result at the top, and oftentimes, you’ll get a bunch of results that aren’t what you’re looking for. It can be frustrating.

The good news is Google is offering a solution for folks who like to get their news from specific sources. If you want to help Silver & Black Pride...
