2nd year Offensive HC. Don't have an elite D for this to continue. Really no excuses for Josh.

Agreed. They have 0 fumble recoveries for a total of only 4 turnovers.

Raiders have weapons. Jacobs at RB, Adams at WR. Added a good WR2 in Meyers. They have a top notch slot Receiver in Renfrow that Josh refuses to use, plus a highly regarded young TE that plays the position in terms of catching/blocking that Gronk did, yet he also doesn't get used.

Jimmy can't throw deep. I think a lot of the catches by the WR are them curling into the middle of the field, so it kind of crowds things with the slot and TE.

OL is middle of the pack. Not great, but not terrible either. Jimmy he knows. Jimmy isn't he same guy from NE, not with his injuries over the years in SF. But, can tell the lack of arm strength by Jimmy. But, his decision making needs to be better.

Raiders are trying to tank but as usual, they can’t do that right either.

Too much talent on the roster to tank. Not a PO team IMO to start the season, but they have NE, Chicago, Det, NYG, NYJ on their schedule in next 5 games. Legitimately, can get to 6-4 after 10 games. With Rodgers out and Cincy struggling with injuries to Burrow/Higgins, there is a chance.

But, to make the PO, they also need to beat Min, hold at home vs LAC, beat Den to get to 9 wins. Then it's IND to get to 10. And by chance split KC.

I mean, that's not beyond the realm of possibility. More likely to do that than finish with 3 wins or less and secure Williams/Maye as one of the top 2 picks in the draft.
