AP beat Payton & Reid with a QB that shouldn’t be in the league.

It's the insanity of it all. I could see 0-6 this year, but the mess we fielded last year went 2 and 4, how could this be worse? But it can be better overall and still do worse here.

[RickRyb]

I'm just glad the season is finally here and reality can replace all the projection.

I'm just glad the season is finally here and reality can replace all the projection.

I project that your projection about glad the season is started so not to read projections will change projection after the losses mount and you wish we were back to preseason projections.



Hope yer having a great labor day wkend....

Chances to make the playoffs: 24.1%
Chances to win division: 6.9%
Projected wins: 7.5
Strength of schedule: 16th hardest
2024 record: 4-13

Biggest strength: Coaching. Pete Carroll has only four losing seasons in his 18-year NFL coaching career. Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, who helped Ohio State win a national title last season, has plenty of players to get creative with his scheme. Even though Las Vegas has a strong foundation for the future, Carroll wants to win right away, and his team will be competitive enough to give opponents problems weekly. -- Ryan McFadden

Biggest concern: Depth. The Raiders have a significant talent drop-off at multiple positions. Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker are the only wide receivers to surpass 500 yards in a season. Eric Stokes has started 32 career games, and the rest of the group has a combined 22 starts. If the Raiders are to overcome their depth issues, they will need rookies such as wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr., cornerback Darien Porter, and defensive tackles Tonka Hemingway and JJ Pegues to be solid contributors. -- McFadden

QB stat to know: Over the past three seasons, Geno Smith has been one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the league, ranking fourth in completion percentage and first in off-target rate. Over that span, Raiders quarterbacks ranked 25th in completion percentage and 23rd in off-target rate. -- ESPN Research

Bold prediction for 2025: Kelly will be an NFL head coach in 2026. OK, technically that isn't a bold prediction for 2025, but there's no way Kelly will land another head coaching job unless his Raiders offense in 2025 does well. Once it does, owners will zoom out and look at that, his success at Ohio State, his time as UCLA's head coach and parts of his previous NFL tenure and think: That's a pretty good résumé! -- Walder

[DeathStar24]

I would love for this team to be around .500 at season's end. Ideally I'd like to see no less than 7 wins. I'm cautiously opitimisic they can acheive that.

[DSOTM]

6 wins. I’m not falling for the offseason hype

That's all fine, but let's make sure we stay away from overhead projection.

I still want that damn thing. And that buried football. My collection is incomplete without them

[Cruisin with Tooz]

Six wins

[LayneStaley]

Man I hope he’s right.

So you're telling me there's a chance

[Atlasffa]

Nine wins will be a big deal. That's the goal for this year--a minimum of nine wins to begin the new regime.



Excerpt from article in (free) link:

In 18 seasons in the NFL, Carroll has finished with a losing record just four times. He has had nine seasons with at least 10-plus wins -- tied for 11th most by a coach in the Super Bowl era. Despite inheriting a team that went 4-13 and hasn't been to the postseason since 2021, Carroll hasn't diminished his expectations.

[Cruisin with Tooz]

9 wins with this defense is delulu.

I think of it as aspirational.

Being disappointed if Raiders don't win the Lombardi--that's delulu.

That's more like craycray.
