Referee mistake on Derek Carr slide costs Raiders in loss to Jaguars

The referees cost the Oakland Raiders at the end of their home loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The Raiders blew a 16-3 lead and lost 20-16 on a touchdown by the Jags with 31 seconds left. Their comeback cause was aided by a bad call by the refs. The Raiders had a second-and-9 at the Jacksonville 46 with 2:12 left and Derek Carr scrambled towards the right sideline for a gain of 12 and first down. After picking up the first, Carr made the heads-up decision to slide inbounds, which...

Marshawn Lynch served Raiders fans shots of tequila ahead of final home game

Oakland Raiders fans likely needed some liquid courage after watching their team blow what will be the Raiders' final home game in Northern California. In fact, it seems that some fans did indeed have liquid courage as the game was concluding. This included an ugly scene of booing and fans throwing stuff on to the football field. Prior to the game, former Raiders running back and Oakland native Marshawn Lynch was tailgating with fans. He was also serving up shots of tequila outside of...

The Raiders quarterback received boos as he headed toward the tunnel following a 20-16 loss to the Jaguars Sunday, the team's final game in Oakland before moving to Las Vegas in 2020.

Raiders fans boo Derek Carr, throw trash, fight after final game in Oakland

Raiders fans bid farewell to the team in Oakland in very fitting fashion. The Raiders lost on Sunday to the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-16 in what was their final home game at the Oakland Coliseum before moving to Las Vegas. Likely upset about seeing the team blow a 16-3 third quarter lead, the fans booed Derek Carr and began throwing trash on the field after the game. Media was asked to get off the field as security tried to make sure all was under control: Some Raiders players did say farewell...

Turning point play of Week 15: Jaguars stun Raiders in final seconds

You could not have come up with a worst ending for the final game in Oakland. Besides it being an extremely disappointing loss, this was one of the most bizarre finishes you will see.

It started with 2:12 left in the fourth quarter, the Raiders facing a 2nd and 9. Derek Carr, on a designed run used his feet to pick up 12 yards and a first down that should have brought the game clock to the two minute warning. Following the play, the Raiders were...

Sunday Night Football open game thread

Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports

Let’s take our minds off the Raiders horrid collapse tonight. Or, let’s at least try.

For Week 15’s edition of Sunday Night Football, we’ve got a matchup up AFC playoff hopefuls in the 9-4 Buffalo Bills and 8-5 Pittsburgh Steelers. As the home team, the Steelers are favored by one point, but this one may come down to the wire and should be a defensive slugfest.

Now that the Raiders have been knocked out the playoff race, this one isn’t quite as...

After a devastating end to their tenure in Oakland, let’s look at what went right, what went wrong, and what’s next

After a devastating 20-16 loss in the Coliseum finale to the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars, this Raiders team has some serious soul-searching to do between now and next season when they set up shop in Las Vegas.

After a heartbreaker like that, it’s hard to pick yourself up and find the positives. But there undoubtedly were some great...

Raiders versus Jaguars postgame thread

Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports

It’s hard to find much to say in the aftermath of a heartbreaker like that.

The Raiders gave up 17 unanswered points in the second half and lost their fourth straight as they closed out an emotional last game in Oakland.

Here’s your postgame thread. I’m going to need some time to reflect on things after that one.

Raiders versus Jaguars second half open game thread

Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports

In their final showdown in Oakland, the Raiders take a 16-3 lead into halftime against the Jaguars as they look to snap a three game losing streak.

Aside from a 55-yard bomb given up to Keelan Cole on a play where Nevin Lawson slipped in coverage, the Raiders defense has been sharp. If the Raiders offensive line wasn’t performing so poorly, they might be dominating this game. Gardner Minshew has been harassed and has completed 3 of his 10 passes, while...

For the very last time, the Oakland Raiders will play at home in front of a Bay Area crowd under the Oakland moniker. It’s time for some Town Bidness.

Raiders-Jaguars inactives: Josh Jacobs active, Daryl Worley and Trent Brown OUT

Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports

Daryl Worley and Trent Brown were both questionable heading into today’s contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars and have both been ruled out.

With Brown out, Brandon Parker will get the start at right tackle for the second straight week. He performed well last week, but will have his hands full against a deep Jags’ defensive line.

Meanwhile, with Worley out, Dallin Leavitt is expected to take the lion’s share of snaps at safety opposite Erik Harris...

NFL early window open game thread

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports

Today’s early slate of NFL games features only two matchups between winning teams, as the Titans and Texans duke it out for AFC South supremacy, and the Bears and Packers take the field for an NFC North rivalry game at Lambeau. With both Tennessee and Houston sitting at 8-5, the fact that they’ll face each other twice over the season’s final three weeks is perhaps the most underrated storyline in football this season.

The Broncos and Chiefs will square...

Leonard Fournette is the third best running back the Raiders have faced this year

Douglas DeFelice-USA TODAY Sports

Fournette is the final unique running back the Raiders will face this season, and he’s among the best.

Leonard Fournette was supposed to be the guy who broke the LSU Heisman-less streak, which dated back to Billy Cannon in 1959. Fournette got close a few years back, but came up short. On Saturday night, Joe Burrow did it for him.

This is only relevant because Fournette has been much more hyped than productive for most of his career, whether it be at...

Breaking Down the Opponent: Keys to Victory Week 15

If you thought the Raiders were skidding after three straight losses, another team is spiraling out of control even harder. The Jacksonville Jaguars enter this game on a five-game losing streak where they have been beaten by 17 or more points each time. The Raiders don’t have a better chance of winning another game for the rest of the season like they do with this one.

Let’s take a look at what the Jaguars do well and what weaknesses the Raiders can...

What players and coaches are saying ahead of Raiders versus Jaguars in Week 15

Emotions will be running high for players and fans this week when the Raiders will compete for the final time under the Oakland moniker. Many of the greats from the past are expected to be present at the Coliseum to take in the final game live, including Charles Woodson and Tim Brown.

The Raiders and Jaguars both will not make the playoffs, and because of that the talk this week was dominated by talk of the last game ever in Oakland.

Let’s...

Where would the Raiders offense be without Darren Waller?

Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports

It’s hard to imagine how Oakland’s offense would look without Waller. Let’s make sure we don’t take him for granted.

Darren Waller came out of nowhere this season to vault into the elite stratosphere of offensive weapons in the NFL. As the season has progressed and the Raiders receiving corps has struggled with injuries and inconsistency, it seems that we’ve begun to take Waller’s meteoric rise for granted.

But where would the Raiders offense...
