Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock have big decisions to make as the October 28th trade deadline quickly approaches. With a 3-3 record the Raiders are in the hunt in the AFC west playoff picture.
Sunday’s game with the Texans could weigh heavily in the decision to be buyers or sellers. There has been some major improvements to this team from what we have seen so far in 2019. For example, the run game has been phenomenal with...

Today’s injury report brought some good news and some concerns. After missing last Sunday’s game in Green Bay, both Trent Brown and Tyrell Williams practiced today, though both were limited and their status is still uncertain. Dwayne Harris, who has missed the past four games, practiced full.
Missing from practice were several starters including Josh Jacobs, Gabe Jackson, and Rodney Hudson.
Jacobs banged up his shoulder early in the game against the...

Last week Vegas oddsmakers put the Raiders at their best line since the opener. They were 4.5-point underdogs to the Green Bay Packers. The Raiders would lose by 18 points. It appears the oddsmakers learned from that because heading to Houston this week, the Raiders are back to at least a touchdown out.
They are 7-point underdogs to the Texans in Houston almost across the board among the various oddsmaking sites.
You have to figure with the way Aaron Rodgers...

With an open roster spot after trading Gareon Conley to the Texans, the Raiders added journeyman defensive end Kasim Edebali.
The 6-2, 253-pounder started his career with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent out of Boston College. He spent his first three season in New Orleans, putting up a combined 8.0 sacks in that time. His best season was 2015 when he put up 5.0 sacks, six QB hits, and 4 tackles for loss.
The past couple seasons he’s...

Last week Raider Nation was in a state of euphoria. The Raiders were coming off two straight wins, each huge and a bigger win than the one before. That along with the Chiefs losing two straight had the fan confidence through the roof.
The 81% confidence level was this highest it had been at any point this year. Not this season, this calendar year. Then came the trip to Green Bay and one of the worst looking performances by the Raiders this season.
That...

It can be hard to know where to begin with the Busters in a loss like this.
Busters Derek CarrFrom the start, Carr did not look comfortable. The first drive moved into field goal range on runs alone. The first time he dropped back to pass, he overthrew Keelan Doss. Next play, on third and seven, he overthrew Hunter Renfrow and a promising opening drive would end in a field goal. The Packers answered with a touchdown drive.
The next series would again end...

There have been a few games this season for the Raiders in which they started out competitive, and even holding a lead only to lose it and let the game get away from them. None got quite so much away from them as this one.
They had the lead twice in the early going. First 3-0, then 10-7. But that lead was lost in the second quarter and by early in the third, it had been extended to 28-10. Three of the Raiders’ trips into the end zone resulted in no point –...

Jon Gruden is known for being somewhat impulsive and moody. So, when he traded Gareon Conley to the Texans for a third round pick on the Monday after the Raiders secondary was ripped by the Packers, it seemed right with his MO. But according to Texans head coach Bill O’Brien Conley wasn’t an impulse buy for him.
“We’ve been talking to Oakland for a while about Gareon and we were finally able to come to an agreement on a deal,” Obrien said over...

In an unceremonious end to Gareon Conley’s career as a Raider, the franchise shipped him off to the Texans in exchange for a 3rd round pick. Conley is an extremely talented athlete but many wondered if he ever really fit in with the Raiders.
Now that he’s gone the Raiders will turn to rookie CB Trayvon Mullen who has only played sparingly so far in 2019. Like Conley, Mullen comes from a big time college football program. They are both listed...

It’s a shame that Derek Carr and the passing game did not receive a higher grade because in spurts the performance was actually pretty good. Without Tyrell Williams in the lineup it was up to the not so stellar group of Keelan Doss, Marcel Ateman, Hunter Renfrow, and Trevor Davis at receiver.
Carr’s final stats look good at first glance, he did complete 22 of 28 passes for 293 yards and two touchdowns. But if you actually watched the...
