Raider Nation,
Let’s get this bounce-back victory. Lord knows we all don’t want Khalil Mack making too many highlights so prayers for our offensive line.
Shout out to Phil Jones and Phil Robinson for hosting those Raiders spaces chats on Twitter. It’s been dope listening and speaking with them and all the dope Raider Nation memebers.

We all heard about Gruden’s dumb racial trope describing DeMaurice Smith. However, he said he also went on Roger Goodell.
YOUR THOUGHTS: Should Gruden get fired for emails sent a decade ago? Reply to this email.

No In-Season Extension Talk For Carr
No In-Season Extension Talk For Carr
The Raiders could create more cap space by locking up Carr for a contract extension. It also makes sense for Carr since he wants to be a Raider forever. However, there won’t be any talks about that for now.
THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: Carr must silent haters with a postseason push before he earns that long-term extension.

Offensive Line Adjustments This Week
Offensive Line Adjustments This Week
Brandon Parker is in at Right Tackle and Alex Leatherwood moves to right guard. That’s a lot of size and athleticism on the strong side. Leatherwood follows the footsteps of Khalif Barnes, Denzelle Good and others who moved inside. This group is desperate for improvement after the Bolts exposed them.
DEEPER: The Raiders offensive line is composed of homegrown players across the board. Eyes will be on the revamped right side but Andre James and John Simpson must also improve. Kolton Miller is the only one looking like a legit starter.

Derek Carr Let's Bosa Get Under His Skin
Derek Carr Let's Bosa Get Under His Skin
Derek Carr was upset after Joey Bosa called him out for cracking under pressure and after a few hard hits. Bosa was fresh off a win and there was a viral meme about Carr diving to protect himself from the Bolts rush. Carr said he did not know why Bosa said that but it did piss him off.
C'MON MAN: Carr didn’t know why Bosa said that? That’s been the criticism on Carr since Fresno St. versus USC cost him a first-round draft status. We’ve all seen the happy feet. Who better to call out Carr than a DE who has played him many times?

One More Mack and Crosby Comparison
One More Mack and Crosby Comparison
People Love Comparing Mack and Crosby even though they’re totally different players. This article dives into advanced analytics between the two. Crosby compliments Mack but he doesn’t know much about what happened before he came to the Silver and Black.
P.S. Mack doesn’t buy Derek Carr’s criticism but he admits playing the Raiders hits differently.

Fun Stat: Over is 5-0 in the last five games for the Raiders following a straight-up loss. Sounds like a bounce back week for the Offense
All-Time Record: Raiders lead 8-7
Key Prop: Allen Robinson total over 55.5 receiving yards. Robinson and Fields connected on three targets for 63 yards. They have a deep presence that was lacking with Andy Dalton at QB. Considering the Raiders are short-handed at corner, Robinson could have a great day.
Around the AFC West: The Chargers and Browns face-off, both are on top of their divisions. Denver travels to Pittsburgh after suffering their first loss. The Chiefs take on the Bills.
