On the Raiders podcast with Barbara:

#1 Barbara how much of an indicator was the Las Vegas Raiders (3-2) game with the Buffalo Bills (4-0) in week 4 when they lost by just a touchdown against a then 3-0 team that they would go onto do well against a tough Kansas City Chiefs (4-1) team in week 5.

#2 How much credit does this Raiders defense deserve after shutting out the Chiefs in the third quarter and then quarterback Derek Carr and the offense went to work in the fourth quarter and scored 16 points for insurance points and the 40-32 win.

#3 Carr’s line for Sunday in a great afternoon throwing for 347 yards and three touchdowns the Chiefs no doubt have a Super Bowl caliber pass rush and that speaks to the Raiders offensive line.

#4 The Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was no slouch either he threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns it was just that the Raiders defense was able to control more the of the Chiefs offense in the second half and the Raiders had a successful offense that took advantage to block for Carr and gave him time to throw.

#5 The Raiders have a bye next Sunday before they play their next game against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sun Oct 25th as this will be a quick month for the Raiders.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Barbara Mason: Too much Josh Allen but Raiders played a close game in seven point loss

On the Raiders podcast with Barbara:

#1 Barbara to start off how irresponsible are the Raiders for attending a charity event last week not wearing any masks and later were fined by the NFL namely tight end Darren Waller for $30,000 and quarterback Derek Carr $15,000 just to name a few.

#2 Barbara, you knew it was going to be a challenge when the Raiders were going to host the Buffalo Bills and it was a game that mostly went to the Bills.

#3 The Bills certainly got there money’s worth on offense as Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw 24-34 for 288 yards and two touchdowns.

#4 The Raiders did shutout the Bills in the third quarter one of the toughest offenses in the NFL that really speaks well to the to the Raiders defense.

#5 The Raiders behind 17-16 saw the Bills score 13 in the fourth quarter and that pretty much crushed the Raiders chances of any kind of come back losing by a touchdown 30-23.

#6 The Raiders are headed to Kansas City to face the Chiefs next Sunday. The Chiefs hosted the New England Patriots last night. The Patriots almost didn’t make the trip because of quarterback Cam Newton’s positive test but after the Patriots had negative results from their tests they made the trip.
