Raiders vs SF...the post mortem

[Rabidraider]

Trade Kirk, Start Mendoza

Trade Maxx

Fire the DC

[Be_Easy_25]

Our lines are dookie.

Build the trenches first.

[GoodTimeCharlie]

I say fire Leonard. He's not a good fit for us. He's a 3-4 coach being asked to run a 4-3.

May the Schwartz be with us next year.

[Xramfan]

To our Ds credit, the Niners were playing without their top 3 WRs I think. Lmao

imagine when Evan’s and stribking and Debo all
Are back

Yikes

[erickench]

May the Schwartz be with us next year.

I hope so too!!! Graham and Leonard had the same problem. They're 3-4 coaches who don't fit our scheme.

[Viper]

I’ll admit I’ve been a believer in Leonard, but I’ll also admit it’s time to rearrange the chairs on the Titanic again. We’re setting the wrong kind of records at the moment.

[LayneStaley]

I disagree about it being too soon. The offense, defense, ST were all bad last year. We bring in outsiders and 2 are fixed all of a sudden. Keeping anyone associated with Graham was a mistake, especially as a first time DC. I believe we looked into Schwartz during the offseason(rumored) but he was still under contract. Not sure if that changes this offseason but he should be the first call. I see defenses every week with less talent that get better results.

[Coach Pappy]

Cousins keeps the offense purring. It moved all day. His picks came when we were behind and trying to catch up. The defense needs to get fixed. Dumb it down and do the basic things like taking out their best player and their best play.

[16 to 88]

The two most important pieces of the puzzle we need are...

1.) To fix the run game. I keep reading here and hearing from friends about we need this that and the other but here is the bottom line. Today, we had exactly 25 yards rushing from our running backs. The 49ers had 153. If we have that kind of running game we aren't calling pass plays time and again with Mendoza under center and under fire because we can't run the ball. Before this game we were #31 in rushing after this game we will be dead last in the league.

2.) A defensive coordinator. You would have a difficult time convincing me that with a good/great DC he could't get more out of the exact same players than what we are seeing now.

Dan Quinn will more than likely be available next season and I'll say it again, if its 2nd and 10 and we get nine yards, rest assured that we will come up short on 3rd and 1. The same applies to 2nd and goal or 3rd and goal. This team cannot convert in short yardage situations.

[Be_Easy_25]

How long have the Raiders been trying to run a 3-4?

How many seasons does it take to make the switch?

[ALLRAIDERWORLD21]

We were about to score a touchdown to narrow it to one score with momentum in the 3rd.

The issue today was the turnovers. If we didn’t turn the ball over I think there is a good chance we would have won

It would have been a closer game ..one score either way.

[LayneStaley]

Is this photoshopped?




And what was with Hemingway covering CMC.

[HesterLayes]

If Bowles gets shitcanned I’d take him

[ELCAraiderfan]

Well the game thread was a good read! lol. Was off helping family move to new house today, didn't see much of game.

game day thread was a funny read, to see how many people thought the raiders had a chance today. lol

No sense getting all stressed and worked up in a game the raiders were never going to be in from the start.

1. Niners are a good team. 2. Niners are coming off a bye week 3. Niners are coming off their 1st loss
4. 49ers are a real good team this year again. No way in hell the rebuilding Raiders no matter how much they've improved in being more competent and fighting for 60 minutes than raider teams have in 2 decades, didn't matter there was no way they were going to compete with the 9ers today.

I told my brother in law, 9ers fan since early 60's, that I knew they were going to kick the hell out of the raiders today, my guess was 42-17 49ers. I came damn close. Didn't stress a bit about today's game, I knew the ending. But this organization is seeming to finally be starting to head in the right direction under Kubiak and Spytek. Next year will be and should be a huge change. Looking forward to it.

Now hopefully Raiders can win some more games to show the improvement in attitude that we've seen so far.
