Only the fifth game in our history, first since 2005, that we had no penalties.

    It’s weird to even think this but after the firing of McDaniels, it feels like the league is starting to come around on us. AP needs to stick around for a while.

    Even though it was declined, there shouldn’t have been a running into the kicker foul as he was pushed into the kicker by the chiefs offensive lineman

      I’m ok with AP, just hope whoever comes on as GM can find a couple of good, young coordinators that can work with him

          If he’s the right guy, roll with it. Honestly, don’t know really anything about him other than he has been the assistant GM

          Seems like a lot of people want and are thinking he’s gone soon. Sounds stupid to me but yeah he’s the number one coach I want.

            Yeah, why would they want to get rid of a perennial loser HC who humiliated himself and the organization while trying to trip up a kick returner?

        How the fuck is zero penalties and zero turnovers a meaningless statistic??? You are giving yards and possessions away, penalties can kill your offensive drives and prolong opps offense drives.

          Right? The first thing you have to do as a coach is teach and learn how not to lose. Step 1 - no turnovers Step 2 - no penalties This is a indication of building good culture. An average coach can win games with good culture and good game management. AP may or may not be the guy but these are some positive signs.

            You thought we were winning against the 2023 Super Bowl champs with an interim HC and a rookie QB? I mean, c’mon dude, getting worked up over that is just inviting misery onto yourself.

              The Broncos didn’t seem to have much trouble with them. The same shitty Broncos team we’ve beaten like seven times in a row.

              And yet the Broncos beat them - the same Broncos team that got 70 hung on them by Miami earlier in the year. We were neither destined nor required to lose to the Chiefs.

                Yeah Miami is also a great team! Dude, the Broncos are not having an awesome season, I agree, but they have a lot of talent. Not unlike us, lol

        Well he was given a shit hand and did more than the previous 2 coaches. He’s getting control of the locker rooms and has players playing for him, also cutting players that don’t play hard. Zero turnovers and zero penalties, something that hasn’t happen in many years. Overall he is showing enough to get a 1 or 2 year prove it deal.

    Finally! The team is starting to show some discipline. For too long, through all the HCs, penalties have been accepted. Maybe that was ok when the Raiders were getting so called misfits and “has beens” and winning. After a while the Raiders were consistently a top 3 teams for penalties -for YEARS!

    Hopefully AP is instilling discipline and providing leadership. The current Raider team is better than what the record shows.
