Tre Tucker blanked in Las Vegas Raiders shutout defeat

Tre Tucker blanked in Las Vegas Raiders shutout defeat

Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2023 draft class fared in a 31-0 loss at the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and ahead to Week 16’s road game at the Houston Texans.

Tyree Wilson:

The No. 7 overall pick’s play time is dwindling at an alarming rate. He played just six snaps on defense Sunday, a season low and it tied his career low. He had no tackles. He’s becoming an afterthought. Meanwhile, street free-agent Charles Snowden played 47 snaps at the Eagles. There is basically no chance Wilson’s fifth-year option will be exercised next spring....

Las Vegas Raiders have one of NFL’s worst offenses in recent memory

Las Vegas Raiders have one of NFL’s worst offenses in recent memory

It wasn’t all Chip Kelly’s fault.

Indeed, the Las Vegas Raiders’ offense has continued to sputter in the three games since head coach Pete Carroll fired Kelly after just 11 games with the team. Predictably, the offense been bad under interim offensive coordinator Greg Olson.t

The reason? The unit is simply bad. It’s pretty simple. It’s just not working.

The coaches. The players. the execution. It’s all been lousy,

Look at these ugly numbers presented by the Associated Press:

This is real. This is the truth.

This is the NFL’s worst offense in recent memory. The numbers back it up....

Previewing 2026 Free Agent Offensive Lineman

Previewing 2026 Free Agent Offensive Lineman

The Las Vegas Raiders offensive line is simply not good, and that’s likely underselling it as they rank near the bottom of the NFL in pass block win rate, last in run block win rate, 30th in pressure rate, 29th in clean pocket rate, and last in avg. yards before contact.

The Raiders will have an interesting dilemma this off-season after having spent a 2024 2nd and 3rd rounder on Jackson Powers-Johnson and DJ Glaze and then two third rounders in 2025 on Charles Grant and Caleb Rogers. Powers-Johnson played well as a rookie before moving to guard this season...

Prize fight between Brock Bowers, Jalen Pitre headlines Las Vegas Raider-Houston Texans key matchups

Prize fight between Brock Bowers, Jalen Pitre headlines Las Vegas Raider-Houston Texans key matchups

The Week 16 contest between the Las Vegas Raiders and Houston Texans is undoubtedly a mismatch, seeing as the Raiders are heavy underdogs going into it. But Las Vegas’ focus should be on the future, so how the young players fare in the three key matchups below should take priority over how the scoreboard looks at the end of the game.

Brock Bowers vs. Jalen Pitre

Bowers proved himself as a rookie, immediately becoming one of the best tight ends in the NFL. However, year two hasn’t exactly gone his way, seeing a decrease in production by going from...

Geno Smith returns to practice

Geno Smith returns to practice

As expected, Las Vegas Raiders starting quarterback Geno Smith will be practicing Wednesday and, thus, he may be line to play Sunday at the Houston Texans on Sunday. Kickoff is at 1:25 pm. PT.

Smith missed Sunday’s 31-0 shutout loss at the Philadelphia Eagles as the Raiders dropped to 2-12. It was Smith’s first missed game of the season. He was dealing with shoulder and back injuires.

Last Friday, Las Vegas coach Pete Carroll said Smith’s back issue was a bigger concern than his back problem. Yet, both on Friday and Monday, Carroll said he thought Smith had a real...

Thomas Booker continues development vs Philadelphia Eagles

Thomas Booker continues development vs Philadelphia Eagles

The Raiders traded for former Eagles defensive tackle Thomas Booker back in August, where he’s become a semi staple of the Raiders defensive interior rotation.

The Raiders have heavily rotated between Adam Butler, Jonah Laulu, Booker, and either Leki Fotu, JJ Pegues, or Tonka Hemingway this season to try and find some consistency on the interior and while that hasn’t succeeded, they have seen Booker develop into a quality player. Booker has logged 37 tackles, a TFL, 3 PBU, FF, FR, and 6 QB hits this season having yet to log a sack. Despite this, he ranks 4th among all...

Brock Bowers has lowest yardage production of season, not his fault

Brock Bowers has lowest yardage production of season, not his fault

Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2024 draft class fared in a 31-0 loss at the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and ahead to Week 16’s road game at the Houston Texans.

Brock Bowers:

Sunday was an example of how the Raiders are not taking advantage of having a sublime talent like Brock Bowers on their offense. He had a season-low 28 yards receiving on six catches. It was his second lowest yardage output of his career. What do you expect? The team had just 75 yards of offense their lowest in a game since 1961....

Maxx Crosby is a tackle-for-loss machine

Maxx Crosby is a tackle-for-loss machine

We love celebrating the greatness of Maxx Crosby here and it’s just so easy.

With three games remaining in another miserable overall season for the Las Vegas Raiders, their superstar defensive end remains one of the very best players, regardless of position, in the NFL.

He is a special player and has been an incredible tackle-for-loss machine.

Crosby already had 26 tackles for loss this season and he has 131 tackles for loss since entering the league in 2019 as a fourth-round draft pick. It is the most in the league during that time span.

Times might be tough for...

What would Joe Burrow trade cost?

What would Joe Burrow trade cost?

The Las Vegas Raiders are clearly going to be in the market for a quarterback this offseaosn.

While a likely path will be in the first round of the draft, but the process hasn’t even started, so there may be some other avenues to find a quarterback.

Of course, the rumor mill is already churning that the Cincinnati Bengals could get to the point where they entertain trade talks for star quarterback Joe Burrow. In fact, after Burrow made some comments about his overall frustration last week, some talk heads have already connected the Raiders to a potential pursuit of...
