Tough loss. Felt we played a pretty good game but GB is a better team. 2 more Carr ints cost us 14pts. I just don't understand why we are not a good Home team. 2-5 isn't good at all. shyt is frustrating that we can win on the Road but not Home...

Hayden better not be on this team next season, dude was bear hugging a WR. The guy just needs to take a chance and turn his head around and he might make a play on the ball. I just hope the team beats san Diego on Thursday because this could be the last game in Oakland and they better not leave with a loss.

TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS ASSESSMENT- I WOULD GAVE THE DBs a C tho


Quarterbacks: C


Quarterback Derek Carr threw two horrendous interceptions in the first quarter, which helped the Packers gain a 14-0 lead. He finished with 276 passing yards and evened his touchdown-to-interception ratio, but the early deficit hurt his team out of the gate.



Running Backs: B

Latavius Murray handled every carry among the running backs. As the featured ball-carrier, he made the most of his opportunities in the first half, registering 15 carries for 64 yards. However, his touches dwindled down to six carries yielding 14 yards in the second half.



Wide Receivers: B

Amari Cooper found his way against the Packers secondary, recording six catches for 120 yards and two touchdowns. He resembled the same explosive rookie from the beginning of the season. Michael Crabtree caught six passes for 70 yards. Seth Roberts missed three quarters due to injury. Andre Holmes failed to contribute on a major production scale, accumulating two catches for 17 yards.



Tight Ends: D

After consecutive weeks of solid production from the tight ends, Mychal Rivera and rookie Clive Walford put up pedestrian numbers. The pair of tight ends combined for five catches and 30 yards.



Offensive Line: B

In a debut start, rookie right guard Jon Feliciano held his own as a solid component in the ground attack. Murray gained seven yards running toward the right end on the first offensive play.

Overall, the offensive line opened wide gaps for Murray and Carr on scrambles toward the outside. On the other hand, the Packers registered three sacks in the second half.



Defensive Line: B-

The defensive line kept Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the pocket, hindering his options for a potential escape on improvised scrambles.

In the first half, Oakland’s run defense also limited Green Bay’s ground attack.

However, the hinges came off in the fourth quarter when Starks made a 25-yard run deep into Raiders territory.



Linebackers: A-

The heart of the defense remained stout and didn’t allow ample receiving yards.

Khalil Mack and Ben Heeney each logged a sack. Malcolm Smith didn’t allow the running backs to run a track meet in the flat on dump-off passes. Packers tight end Richard Rodgers only caught one pass for seven yards over the middle.



Defensive Backs: B

Safety Charles Woodson connected on some jarring hits all over the field. One hit allowed Mayowa to rip the football from Starks’ possession.

Cornerback David Amerson outperformed all Raiders defensive backs, logging an interception on an ill-advised throw in the red zone. T.J. Carrie cost the defense 45 yards on two penalties.



Special Teams: B

Kicker Sebastian Janikowski nailed two field goals and two extra-point attempts. Punter Marquette King pinned the Packers inside their 20-yard line on two out of five punts. However, the Raiders' special teams surrendered a pivotal 47-yard kickoff return to wideout Jeff Janis.



Coaching: C-

Despite a productive first half, the coaching staff inexplicably abandoned the ground attack. Murray logged 15 carries for 64 yards in the first half and six touches for 14 yards in the second half.

The Raiders started the third quarter down one point and failed to continue Murray’s success on the ground.

In the second half, the Raiders allowed an easy touchdown to Packers wideout James Jones on a miscommunication, resulting in a busted pass coverage near the sideline. Woodson raised his arms as to say, “What’s going on?”

The coaches failed to prepare the defense, which allowed the Packers to regain a lead.

In the fourth quarter, the offense lacked fluidity. Carr’s throws didn’t match the receivers’ routes. Uncoordinated alignments and missed assignments highlighted poor on-field coaching or lack of preparation.
