Grade the RAIDERS vs Donkeys

I give them a surprising D. They played tough and not sound too cynical but I think the Refs shoved it up our ass a little. The Donkey O line was holding more than ours but we were getting flagged for it like crazy.

We have lived through this for a long time. Back in the 70s and 80s we were good enough to beat the other team and the Refs week in week out. Through the 90s and 2000s we have not had a good enough team to beat them both. And Thursday night was a little lopsided.

I also give them a D because we didn't just let them run for 200 yards.
We did good at stopping them on 1st and 2nd but of course they moved the ball on third down like a hot knife through butter because we have no actual game plan. Our third down D is to have Matt Giordano blitz from 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

I don't want to fire another Head Coach. But what exacty am I missing?
Thursday night just like against Clevleand and Cincinnati and New Orleans and Baltimore and Tampa Bay and in Miami we were completely unprepared to even show up for this game.

A football team reflects the personality of it's head coach. If we have un discipline players that are lazy and out of shape, as we so obviously are....THAT IS THE HEAD COACHES FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are you seeing that I am not seeing? I see a guy who has no clue what he is doing, I do not see any progress at all in any area!!

But we will give him time. Lets give him time. We have sucked for 10 years so what's 3 more mean?

I see other first year coaches out there demanding accountability and getting hard play out of all their players. That guy from Rutgers is kicking the shit out of the Donkey as far as coaching this year. Is it that Tampa is loaded with talent that is making it easy for him?

I'm not saying we have to win every game I just want to be respectable.
Jacobs got put in his place for Tweeting about his old team and not playing. We have a head coach who on camera laughs it up with coaches of a team that just handed us our asses.
