Where do Raiders sit in AFC playoff race?

Many teams are ahead of Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Raiders are reeling after they suffered their third straight loss in Week 7 in a sloppy game at the Los Angeles Rams.

They now head into a home Week 8 game against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs needing badly to break their losing streak to try to be on the edge of the playoff hunt as midseason approaches.

The Raiders are currently two games behind the current seventh and final playoff slotted team. Here’s a look at what the Raiders are currently facing:

Could you imagine this?

Could you imagine this?

Would you want this?

This is for fun.

But just think about it.

Tom Brady is now a part owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. He has said he will do whatever it takes to help the team win in his role. He will reportedly have a strong voice in the franchise.

So, that means he could have influence in big decisions. And he will have pull as a recruiter.

What about a big fish?

What about Bill Belichick?

We’re not saying the Raiders will move on from Antonio Pierce after one season. The team likes him and wants stability....

Many Raiders fans would trade a Super Bowl championship for a lot in their life

The Raiders have not won a Super Bowl in 40 years.

That means many great members of the Raider Nation have never experienced a Super Bowl championship by the organization.

Yes, some of us are lucky alive to have experienced all three of the Raiders’ Super Bowl tittles. But not everyone is so luck.

So, many fans would trade a lot of thing sin their life in exchange to see the Silver and Black hoist the Lombardi Trophy again [according to a recent survey by...

News: Raiders sign Desmond Ridder

A new quarterback in Las Vegas with Aidan O’Connell out

According to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero, the Las Vegas Raiders are signing quarterback Desmond Ridder off the Arizona Cardinals’ practice squad.

With the news about Aidan O’Connell heading to injured reserve with a broken thumb suffered in Sunday’s 20-15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams breaking earlier today, it doesn’t come as a surprise that the Raiders added another quarterback to the active roster. However, it is slightly shocking that Las Vegas went this route instead of promoting rookie undrafted free agent Carter Bradley, who is currently on the practice...

Cornerback hard arguably his best game of the season

While the Las Vegas Raiders suffered another disappointing loss in their 20-15 Week 7 defeat against the Los Angeles Rams, the Raiders’ defense played well and got key contributions from several players. One in particular who stood out was cornerback Nate Hobbs as he had arguably his best performance of the season.

Hobbs finished with a 79.9 defensive grade from Pro Football Focus, which was the third-best on the team and ranked ninth (pre-Monday Night Football) among all cornerbacks for the week. A big reason for that is he yielded just...

Outside of the quarterback position, Las Vegas didn’t play that poorly

Another week and another crushing loss for the Las Vegas Raiders. This time, the Raiders managed to keep it to a one-possession defeat in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams, as the majority of Las Vegas’ players didn’t play badly.

However, the team was held back by poor quarterback play as Gardner Minshew stepped in for the injured Aidan O’Connell and the former headlines this week’s winners and losers.

LOSER: Gardner Minshew

Is there any way you would consider this?

Is there any way you would consider this?

Could it ever get to this point?

OK, let’s get this out of the way: Maxx Crosby is the Las Vegas Raiders right now.

He’s the positive constant.
He’s a superstar player.

He always tries.

He wants to win for the franchise and fan base so badly.

He wants to be here forever.

He wants to represent the Silver and Black in Canton, Ohio.

He’s homegrown.

He’s everything you could want from a Raider.

He shouldn’t go anywhere.

Yet, that isn’t stopping the rumors. The NFL trade deadline is approaching November 5 and there are rumors a team like his...
