Las Vegas Raiders, Despite Upheaval, Decimate New York Giants 30-6

Despite everything that the Las Vegas Raiders (4-5) have gone through this past week, they came together as a team in a huge way beating the New York Giants (2-7) 30-6. A lot of credit has to go to interim head coach Antonio Pierce (former linebacker coach with the team) who stepped into a most difficult situation.

Sunday afternoon the Raiders took on the struggling Giants. The unfortunate truth is that both of these teams are struggling. The Raiders are reeling from the firings of head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler. There has been dissension from not only coaches but players as well. An open floor meeting with players apparently did not go well at all. It got ugly from all sides players to coaches.

McDaniels tenure resulted in an anemic 9-16 record in less than two seasons and his exit was not unexpected considering how disgruntled many players and coaches had been for some time. How they came around in today’s game will spoke volumes as to how committed these players are to each other and it showed in the run game and improved offense and defense.

Game recap: The first quarter saw the return of Giant’s quarterback Daniel Jones after missing three weeks with a neck injury. New York desperately needs a win Sunday if they want to even figure in a possible wild card. The Raiders started rookie Aidan O’Connell at quarterback benching Jimmy Garoppolo. Two teams in total disarray. The first half was a nightmare for Jones who was injured and Tommy DeVito took over under center.

How would these two quarterbacks fare in this game? The answer came in the first half. DeVito threw two interceptions while O’Connell had a great first half. He finished the first two quarters going 9 of 10 with 135 passing yards.

The Raiders took an early lead in the first quarter 7-0. Jakobi Meyers rushed for 17 yards and the first Las Vegas touchdown at 9:45. Going into the second quarter the Raiders really amped things up. The quarter belonged to Raider running back Josh Jacobs who lit up the Las Vegas offense.

He rushed for two yards and a second Raider touchdown at 5:06. Jacobs struck again at 1:55 giving the Raiders a 21-0 lead. Las Vegas kicker Daniel Carlson had successfully kicked three extra points and at 0.04 kicked a 24 yard field goal giving Las Vegas a 24-0 lead going into the locker room. This team had pulled together in an extraordinary and quite unexpected way.

While O’Connell had not thrown any touchdowns, he did set his team up successfully driving deep into Giant’s territory throughout the first half. He continued connecting in the third quarter and mid-way through the quarter had already surpassed over 200 yards. The Raiders extended their lead at 8:23 with a successful Carlson kick for 46 yards and a 27-0 lead. Las Vegas would take that lead into the fourth quarter.

The Giants finally broke through in the fourth quarter scoring their first touchdown of the day. DeVito connected with Wan’Dale Robinson for nine yards and the score. New York attempted a two-point conversion which failed and the Giants came away with the six points trailing 27-6. Mid-way through the quarter Carlson kicked a 41 yards field goal extending the Las Vegas lead 30-6.

The Giants got a nice drive going with 8:24 left on the clock going 48 yards in five plays going into Raider territory threatening on the Las Vegas 34 yard line. The New York drive stalled and they turned the ball back over to Las Vegas.

At the two-minute warning the Raiders were looking for more driving down to the New York 35 yard line. This game finished quietly as the Raiders put out a great offensive and defensive effort pushing their season record to 4-5 with the 30-6 final.

The Raiders receiving core had a great game with seven players catching passes for 8.5 yards or better with Tre Tucker finishing with 52 yards on two receptions. Rushing honors went to Jacobs who had 98 yards for the game and two touchdowns.

In Week 10 the Las Vegas Raiders will take on the New York Jets at Allegiant Stadium in another home game for the team. The Jets have yet to play their Week 9 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers looking for their fourth straight win. That game will be aired on Monday Night Football. The Raiders vs Jets game in Week 10 will be played on Sunday Night Football with kickoff scheduled for 5:20 PM on NBC.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich Perez: Raiders Garoppolo sacked 6 times; Detroit stops Vegas offense

On the Raiders podcast with Rich Perez:

#1 The Las Vegas Raiders had numerous opportunities in their Monday night game against the Detroit Lions. They were unable to capitalize on any of them partially due to the lackluster game from Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

#2 Garoppolo was sacked six times and had some heart-breaking misses in the 26-14 loss to Detroit.

#3 Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs ran on the Raiders for 26 carries, 152 yards, and one touchdown and quarterback Jerod Goff was 26-37 for 272 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

#4 It was a terrible showing for Garoppolo passing 10 of 21 for 126 yards and one interception. He is overthrowing the ball with regularity.

#5 New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is dealing with a neck injury and has only two touchdowns for this season. Giants back up quarterback Tyrod Taylor has a rib cage injury after three games. The Giants and Raiders meet at Allegiant Stadium this Sun Nov 5th at 1:25pm PT kickoff.

On the Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 Tony offensively the Raiders just couldn’t get anything going against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field in Detroit. The Raiders were able to get a touchdown in each of the second and third quarters but it was not enough.

#2 Talk about Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo who scrambled all night and was sacked six times. Was this from holding on the ball too long or not getting enough protection.

#3 Running back Josh Jacobs carried for 61 yards and picked up a touchdown but didn’t get enough chances to do any damage.

#4 Talk about Davante Adams who had been complaining about not getting enough touches. On receiving he caught one pass for 11 yards and didn’t score a touchdown. Adams got angry and threw his helmet. He’s been frustrated in most of these Raider loses.

#5 Tony, Talk about the New York Giants coming in next. They’ve gone through two quarterbacks Daniel Jones has a neck injury and back up quarterback Tyrod Taylor has a rib cage injury. The Giants much like the Raiders are suffering and come into Allegiant Stadium with a 2-6 record. Kickoff for this Sun Nov 5th at 1:25pm PT. How do you see this match up?

Jimmy Garoppolo Sacked Six Times In Loss to Detroit 26-14

The Las Vegas Raiders had numerous opportunities in their Monday night game against the Detroit Lions. They were unable to capitalize on any of them partially due to the lackluster game from Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. He was sacked six times and had some heart-breaking misses in the 26-14 loss to Detroit.

Monday night the Las Vegas Raiders (3-5) took on the Detroit Lions (6-2) on the national stage. The Raiders are coming off a loss to the Chicago Bears 30-12. The Lions who have been having a great season got stomped last week by the Baltimore Ravens 38-6 in a real shocker both games on Sun Oct 22. Both of these teams were desperate to win this game and the Lions got back on the winning track. The Raiders wanted to even their season record but just couldn’t do it at Ford Field in Detroit.

Game recap: It was a very quiet first quarter and after the first 15 minutes the Lions had a 3-0 lead. The Raiders squandered a great opportunity to put points up on the board as the clock began to wind down on the first quarter. The Raider’s defense, who made some great plays in this game, forced a lion fumble deep in Detroit territory with 45 seconds left in the opening quarter.

Las Vegas did not take advantage of a great scoring opportunity when quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw an interception giving the ball right back to the Lions. This was his ninth interception of the season. He leads the league in interceptions, a distinction no quarterback want to entertain.

The Lions continued to extend their lead in the second quarter. They kicked two more field goals in the quarter, giving them a 9-0 lead but had not been able to find the end zone. The Raiders cut into Detroits lead with five minutes left in the half 9-7 and Las Vegas had some life. Josh Jacobs rushed for three yards and the touchdown. Two minutes later however, the Lions extinguished that life with their first touchdown of the game extending their lead 16-7 going into half time.

The Raiders got a great start in the early going of the third quarter. Marcus Peters intercepted the ball for a 75 yard return and the Raiders second touchdown of the day. The Lions were hanging onto a slim 16-14 lead. With three minutes left in the third quarter, the Lions pushed right back scoring their second touchdown of the game, now leading 23-14.

The opportunities that the Raiders had in this game were numerous. The fourth quarter was painful to watch. There was obvious lack of protection for Garoppolo in the second half. He was sacked 6 times and missed a wide open Davante Adams in the fourth quarter. Adams was visibly upset on the sidelines after that missed pass throwing his helmet in frustration.

It has been a tough go for the talented Adams who has not been targeted very much at all this season. That miss cost the Raiders the game; it nailed the coffin shut. The Lions had three turnovers in this game and despite that still won.

It was a terrible showing for Garoppolo passing 10 of 21 for 126 yards and one interception. He is overthrowing the ball with regularity. Defensive wonder Max Crosby had some great tackles but without much scoring going on it’s rather futile. There was only one offensive touchdown in the game for the Raiders, the second touchdown coming from a Las Vegas interception.

It’s hard to say where the Raiders go from here. The defense has had some great moments but the offense has struggled mightily and seem to look worse and worse as the season wears on. This team is no stranger to losing and it now seems to be ingrained. How a team breaks out of a mindset such as Las Vegas is currently experiencing is not easy.

The Raiders will travel home for a date next Sunday with another struggling team, the New York Giants. New York quarterback Daniel Jones has only had two touchdowns this season but was out of action with a neck injury that sidelined him for the past three games. His backup Tyrod Taylor started in those three games but he was injured in the third game with a rib cage injury. The Giants are dealing with a lot right now much as the Raiders are. Jones is expected to start in next Sunday’s game. Kickoff for this game is scheduled for Sunday at 1:25 PM.

On the 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 Joe, San Francisco (3-0) in their last game against the New York Giants regained the lead midway through the second quarter when quarterback Brock Purdy connected with Ronnie Bell on a nine-yard touchdown reception along the left sideline. It was the first NFL reception for Bell, the rookie seventh round draft pick out of Michigan, who did a nice tight rope job to haul in his first career touchdown.

#2 Defensive end Nick Bosa looked like a well-oiled machine as he made life miserable for New York quarterback Daniel Jones the entire game. Bosa finished with one sack and hit Jones four times as he took advantage of banged up Giants offensive line.

#3 49ers running back Christian McCaffery gave his team a two-touchdown lead near the end of the first half when he scampered in for a four-yard rushing touchdown that completed a 11 play 73-yard drive that chewed up over four and a half minutes off the clock.

#4 McCaffery led all rushers with 85 yards on 18 carries. He finished with 118 all-purpose yards as he also had five catches for 34 yards.

#5 The Arizona Cardinals are coming to Santa Clara Sunday to face the 49ers. The Cardinals are coming off a shocking 28-16 win over the Dallas Cowboys last week. 49ers safety Tashaun Gipson said, “I don’t think anybody, including Arizona, probably, thought they were winning that game,”
