An Honest Look at Where the Raiders Stand

"The Raiders' offense sputtered against the Broncos: Geno Smith rarely had time to throw,Ashton Jeanty had no room to run, and outside of their opening possessions, the Raiders just couldn't move the ball," Breech said.

"If the past seven weeks have proved one thing, it's that the Raiders are probably going to have to blow things up and start over on the offensive side of the ball this offseason. And maybe the defensive side, too. You know what? It might just be time for a total reset."

After the loss to the Broncos, Raiders Head Coach Pete Carroll explained his feelings on the current state of his team. Carroll initially believed the Raiders could win upwards of 10 games this season, as he is accustomed to winning that many games per season during his professional career.

Then, reality set in. Las Vegas sustained several injuries that it could not afford to. Weeks later, the Raiders sit at 2-11. Still, Carroll believes his team is close to turning things around.

"It is close. The game was 14-7 and they had a punt return. And we were there, we just needed our next drive to get in there. We're holding it together. The conscience of the team on the field, they're holding it together. They're working their ass off to make the next play, thinking it's going to turn. We have a surprisingly positive attitude about it,” Carroll said.

“That's a part of our culture, and it's a part of the expectation of how we operate, but it's there. It's just we have to go do it again. That's what we talked about in the locker room after the game. It's how we show up on Monday and go to work on Wednesday and take the next step together. These guys want to do that. Hopefully the fans will hang with that and wait it out and be there when it turns is what I would like to see."
