Is the Raiders’ season really over already? RaiderNation
has been carrying the team with his six sacks. Without a super-productive pass rush, the Raiders’ defensive backs have been getting burned to the tune of 256 passing yards allowed per game. Las Vegas ranks in the bottom five in points allowed and has already blown two 17-plus-point leads this season.It does not. Not yet, at least. There are several reasons the Raiders still have a chance to turn things around and make the playoffs, even after such a rough start to the season.
For two, their schedule going forward gets easier. Their three games after this bye week are against the Texans, New Orleans Saints, and Jacksonville Jaguars—three teams with losing records and ones that mostly lack the high-caliber pass-rush attacks of other teams the Raiders have already faced. That could give the offensive line a chance to boost their confidence and cohesiveness even further by the second half of the season.
This brings us to the third point: the AFC playoff field is a lot shallower than many of us believed ahead of the season. The Colts and Broncos are a total mess—last week’s Thursday Night Football wasenough proof of that—yet Indianapolis is on the bubble for a playoff spot at 2-2-1.
