On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich Perez:

#1 Rich how important is this bye week after the Raiders have lost five straight games.

#2 In the losing streak the Raiders played some tough customers one amongst them the Kansas City Chiefs back on Sun Oct 27th. The Chiefs actually pulled out a 27-20 win when they heard the Raiders footsteps and came away with a fourth quarter rally to hold on and win the game.

#3 There was the previous home game that the Raiders were crushed by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sun Oct 13 at Allegiant Stadium 32-13. Steelers quarterback Justin Fields was 14-24 for 145 yards. Fields didn’t throw or rush for a touchdown but the Steelers certainly got a lot of offense in that game.

#4 Speaking of offense in the Raiders last game Sun Nov 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati the Bengals put up some big numbers with quarterback Joe Burrow under center throwing 27-39 for 251 yards and here’s where it hurt the Raiders five touchdowns by Burrow either by passing or rushing in the 41-24 win.

#5 The Raiders get right back to work in Miami next Sunday Nov 17th with a 10:00AM PST kickoff. The Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has taken a beating this year with multiple concussions but will not sit out. In the Dolphins last game against the Buffalo Bills Tua threw 25-28, 231 yards and two touchdowns. The Dolphins came up short in that one 30-27. How do you see this match up between the Dolphins and Raiders this Sunday here in Miami Sunday ?

On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 Charlie talk about the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets who do battle in game 6 tonight at Dodger Stadium. The Mets avoided being eliminated on Friday night after they held back the Dodgers 12-6 to move within a game of LA 3-2.

#2 Game 6 tonight the Dodgers have for the most part in this series had the pitching that had command over the Mets. Like in games 1, 3 and 4. It’s when the Mets have those break out games they can score in bunches. Will the Dodgers pitching be one of the biggest factors for the Mets in this game 6?

#3 Turning to pro football the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers met for the first time since the Super Bowl. The Chiefs are came in hot undefeated and are now 6-0 and had the 49ers number Sunday with a ten point win 28-18. The Chiefs defense held off 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and the 49ers offense Sunday.

#4 The Las Vegas Raiders continue to struggle. Since former Raider Devante Adams expressed his unhappiness with the Raiders before moving onto the Jets the Raiders seems to have fallen in the doldrums. Las Vegas has lost their game against the Los Angeles Rams today at So Fi Stadium 20-15. Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew just couldn’t get any offense going 15-34 for 154 and was intercepted three times.

#5 The future Las Vegas A’s unveiled renderings this week for their new Bally’s ballpark for the Vegas Strip targeted for the 2028 season. With the Tropicana imploded and the A’s playing in the interim in Sacramento the fact still remains that A’s owner John Fisher still has not come up with his share of the $1.5 billion for the construction costs for the A’s Vegas park.

#1 Rich, former Raiders running back Devante Adams got what he wanted a trade that sent him to the New York Jets for a second and third draft pick.

#2 The deal to get Adams was based on a restructured contract. Details of Adams contract were not forthcoming but it’s believed that adjustments for his 2025 and 2026 contracts are in the works.

#3 Adams who didn’t play in week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers with the Raiders. Adams most likely will play for the Jets this Sunday against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

#4 Talk about some of the circumstances that made Adams unhappy when he was at the Raiders. There was little doubt that he had a falling out with head coach Antonio Pierce.

#5 With Adams joining the Jets there is no doubt the re-union between Adams and quarterback Aaron Rogers is something that the Jets and Rogers are looking forward to.

Raiders dropped their second straight game; losing to Steelers, 32-13, in Sin City

By Michael Roberson

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — The Las Vegas Raiders (2-4) rolled Craps against the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2), 32-13, on a Sunday Afternoon in the Silver State.

The Raiders fell two games below .500, while failing to stop the Steel City boys from the Quaker State from controlling the scoreboard and the stadium 32-13. There was an overwhelming presence by the well traveled Western Pennsylvania Steelers’ Faithful,, as well as several hundred, to thousands of transplants.

Pittsburgh got on the board first with a 52-yard field goal by kicker Chris Boswell.. The Steelers first drive slowed down, and they settled for a FG. Within the first five minutes of the game, the Black & Goal led the Silver and Black 3-0.

Within the last five minutes of the quarter, the Raiders responded. A three yard TD run by running back Alexander Mattison put the home team up 7-3. That was also the score after the first 15 minutes expired.

The second stanza was all Pittsburgh, as Justin Fields and Boswell provided all the scoring. Boswell booted a 49-yarder, and Fields converted a three yard keeper. At the midpoint of the contest, the Keystone State guests were up 12-7. Justin Fields used both modes of operation, as he passed for 83 yards and rushed for 43.

The second half was more of the same, with Pittsburgh totally controlling the third quarter, adding ten more points to their total. Boswell hit another FG through the uprights (37), and the Steelers led 15-7 at that point of the game. About five minutes later, running back Najee Harris scampered into the the end zone from 36 yards from scrimmage. 22-7, Steelers after 3/4 of the battle was over..

The final quarter was perpetual steel driving, as an interception by the disrespectful Pennsylvanians was immediately converted into more points. Justin Fields decided to end all the nonsense and rush to pay dirt with another keeper (7). Steelernation went up by 22 points, 29-7.

There was still a lot of the quarter left, and the Raiders managed to use that to their advantage. Aidan O’Connell tossed a nine yard TD pass to wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson to bring the deficit to 16 points (29-13), because they failed on the two point conversion.

The Steelers had more ammunition as Boswell used his leg again to increase the lead. With just under four mints left in the game, Pittsburgh’s kicker made another one from 36 yards. The Steelers led 32-13, and would hang on to that margin until the final whistle, after 60 minutes of regulation time.

The Raiders are next in action Sunday, October 20 in Los Angeles, to take on the Rams at 1:05 PM PDT on CBS. The Steelers fly cross-country to host the New York Jets, also on the 20th at 8:15 PM EST.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria: Did Pierce lose the locker room over social media like on Adams trade suggestion

Devante Adams running Las Vegas Raiders addresses the media back on Jul 24, 2024 seeks a trade possibly to the New York Jets and could be out of Las Vegas as soon as Tue Oct 8, 2024 (AP file photo)

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 Tony, did Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce lose the locker room over the social media like suggesting that wide receiver Devante Adams should be traded?

#2 Adams rumors on Monday that it’s best that he should be dealt to quarterback Aaron Rogers and the New York Jets should be done as soon as possible.

#3 Was Adams sentiments about asking for a trade reflect the locker room are there are any other Raiders players who feel likewise to Adams.

#4 The Raiders absolutely got clobbered on Sunday against the Denver Broncos in Denver on Sunday 34-18. It just seemed like the Raiders never got tracked and quarterback Gardner Minshew struggled to get yardage all game long. Was the Raiders performance just a matter of having a bad game or has Pierce simply lost his players due to all the dysfunction over the Adams trade request?

#5 The Raiders host the Pittsburgh Steelers next Sunday. The Steelers lost their second game of the season to the Dallas Cowboys 20-17 last Sunday. The Steelers defense let down in the fourth quarter allowing two touchdowns in the loss. The Raiders are coming off a total defensive breakdown against the Broncos last Sunday how do you see the Steelers and Raiders matching up for this Sunday.

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast:

#1 Rich, the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos were knotted up in a 10-10 tie and went to half time with a 13-10 Denver lead it looked like this game was going to be a close game.

#2 In the second half of the game the Broncos started adding points with when Bo Nix in the third quarter hit wide receiver Jaleel McLaughlin for a four yard touchdown as the Broncos broke away with a ten point 20-10 lead at 7:01.

#3 In the fourth quarter the Broncos at 10:12 Nix took a one yarder in to make it 27-10. With just 10 minutes left Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce knew there wasn’t much time left when your 17 points down.

#4 The Broncos came right back with another touchdown at 8:14 when Nix threw for a nine yard touchdown to wide out Josh Reynolds making it 34-10.

#5 The Raiders Ameer Abdullah scored on a three yard carry with 4:01 left in the game. The Raiders Alexander Mattison carried for a two point conversion. Making it 34-18.

#6 The Raiders host the Pittsburgh Steelers next Sun Oct 13th. The Steelers are 3-1 and are one of the best in the league. They did lose their first game of the season against the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday Sep 29th in a close one 27-24. For the Raiders they just have to forget this one today and get ready for Pittsburgh next week.

#1 Jessica, the New York Giants (0-2) continue to struggle they lost last Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders (1-1) in Washington. the Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels threw 23-29 for 226 yards. The game had to be frustrating for the Giants losing by a field goal 21-18.

#2 Jessica, the New York Jets (1-1) got into the win column pulling off a win against the Tennessee Titans (0-2). What helped the Jets in the second half was their defense stopping the Titans allowing just one touchdown while the Jets scored ten points in the third quarter and seven in the fourth quarter for the 24-17 win. Jets quarterback Aaron Rogers threw for 18-30, 176 yards, and two touchdowns.

#3 The Miami Dolphins (1-1) on Thursday Night Football Sep 12th got blown out by the Buffalo Bills (2-0) at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami 31-10.

#4 The Los Angeles Chargers (2-0) picked up their second straight win last Sunday over the Carolina Panthers (0-2) at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. The Chargers came out scoring 20 points in the first half and that pretty much put it our of reach for the Panthers. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 130 yards and was 14-20 with two touchdowns.

#5 In a low scoring game in Denver the Broncos (0-2) couldn’t get any traction against the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0) in a low scoring game 13-6.
