I think protecting the rookie qb with the choice to kick field goals rather than going for it in high stakes 4th downs will pay dividends in the future. That type of forethought is what makes a smart, successful head coach.

    This is someone trolling but frankly him cutting Peters and Moonshine Teamer makes me want to keep him

      Yeah same. AP is setting a standard of conduct. I am also reading into this a little more and think Jack Jones may be a viable option for us.

    This “playoff or rebuild from the ground up” shit is wack. We have an interim hc. We have a choice between geriatric jimmy or the rook. We have Adam’s for realistically at least one more year, and I think pierce will keep jj for another year if he gets the hc job. The playoffs are all but gone this year. Give this man at LEAST next year to prove himself. Give him a draft and a training camp. We know he won’t put up with the bullshit by him cutting Peters. Give the rook another year, we’ve seen him sling it and we’ve seen him drop dimes. He needs time to improve, and actual year of 1st team prep instead of throwing him to the wolves the week of. This core can get to the playoffs but we need time and to stop trying to take shortcuts by hiring big names in jmd, jg, mp. This team has been ass for so long I can’t believe the people who want to keep cleaning shop every fuckin year.

    He’s lost the job with his coaching decisions. He won over the players by being bold and having fun. Getting cautious and losing games partially as a result of that undercuts the best thing he had to offer and exposed his unreaddiness to be a head coach. They should have kept Bisaccia. If they keep Pierce to somehow make up for that mistake, they’ll just be making a new one.

      LOL, he’s working with an underwhelming roster. First quarter? Take what should be guaranteed points every time.

      Raiders were outscored by Chiefs 31-3 after the first quarter. Going for it on a 4th and 1 in the first quarter doesn’t solve that problem.

    Agree, there’s nothing wrong going up 10-0 when the best DT in the game right now is glaring at your backfield on 4th and short.

    I definitely am not against the kick. But with how good the team has been on 3rd and 4th and short since McDaniels got fired I would stay with the hot hand and go for it.

    The sweeps they have done with Carter and Turner must be in the defenses head on 4th and 1. Should make a traditional sneak easier to convert. And they don’t struggle with the tush push like some teams.
