The Lone Silver Lining to Latest Raiders Loss

"I've never not thought it would take work to get it right. And it's a challenge every season. You look at how the seasons go, and it's a day-to-day, week-to-week world we live in. And, yeah, of course I thought -- I've been in this situation, so I thought, 'Well, maybe I could have something to do with avoiding this.' And so, we're going to keep doing what we know how to do, and that's to keep grinding," Carroll said." 

“I mean, this team, just in the locker room right there, they ain't giving up on each other, and I'm not giving up on them, and they're not giving up on me, I hope. 

“And we're going to keep battling and work our asses off just the way we know how to do. And that's really what you do, and try to make the right decisions and the right choices with the personnel and all of that as best we can. And in our world, they've got to show it, and then they compete to show it. And that's always been the way, and we won't change that."

Following Las Vegas' loss to the Browns, Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby summed up where the Raiders are after yet another loss. Las Vegas continues to lose winnable games. Now, they will have several games coming up soon they have little chance of winning.

Crosby noted that with the playoffs out of the picture, the Raiders are playing for pride. That has been the theme for the Raiders around this time of the season most of the time. It is easy to say that Las Vegas must figure things out, but it is understandably hard to imagine that happening this season.

"At this point, you know you're not playing for the playoffs, which is unfortunate, but you've just got to keep showing up every day, positive attitude and keep working. We work all year to have 17 opportunities, that's all you can do,” Crosby said. 

“You can cry and moan, and it is what it is. At this point you play for the love of the game, and we're in the NFL, nothing's guaranteed. Tomorrow's not guaranteed for anybody, so you should keep showing and keep working.”
