A New Raider Team's Hard Lessons

It was a tough pill to swallow in Week 3, but was the 41-24 loss to the Washington Commanders a disaster or a necessary growing pain? This week on Viva las Raiders, we break down the frustrating loss, echoing Pete Carroll's message that this is a 'new team' learning hard lessons. We dive deep into the offensive line struggles and how they impacted Ashton Jeanty, but also highlight the silver linings: Geno Smith's gutsy performance under pressure (5 sacks!) and Tre Tucker's incredible 3-touchdown breakout game. Plus, we put the loss in perspective by comparing the offensive output to past blowouts, take a quick spin around the AFC West, and preview the upcoming matchup against the Chicago Bears.Please send any questions or opinions on the team to [email protected] to have them read out on the show.Don't forget to subscribe and follow to stay up-to-date on the Silver & Black.Title track: Gold Ghost by Spaniel Ballet.
