Seriously, I get why some fans are pissed. To start the season on Nat'l TV like that is maddening, DMC catching the ball 12 times is overkill.
But it also is a testament to the lack of skill position players this team truly has. DHB still appears he hasn't worked much on the craft of route running. Also, Knapp's offense worked great at Houston, but he had an OLine who have been together some time, as well as Andre Johnson and more capable TE's.
Myers is a disappointment and obviously a clear indication that the FA TE market was not high on the Raiders positions to fill with the beautiful salary cap room that Hue and Al left behind.
It's easy to blame Knapp and Carson, but ultimately, the lack of talent on this team is solely to blame on Al Davis. The lack of talent at QB is solely to blame on Hue Jackson. The lack of first rounds picks.... you get the drift.
6 penalties, not going to help. They need to cut that down in half.
Replacement Refs - also botched the end of the game. Raiders should have had 1 more play since the game ended on a punt with the kicking team touching the ball last.
We have to take care of business in Miami otherwise kiss the season goodbye.
