00:00So, the Vegas Raiders fall to the LA Rams.

00:12The big story in this game is that Aiden O'Connell goes down with an injury.

00:16That shouldn't matter.

00:18Gardner Minshew, it was fun, he had the mustache, there was the pictures, all that stuff.

00:24He had this kind of, whoa, thing to him.

00:26He's not an NFL quarterback.

00:28That was, again, a dreadful performance against the Rams defense that should be there for

00:32the taking.

00:33You should not have to kick a late field goal just to get your 15th point of the game.

00:39There was absolutely, it's just, it is a bland offense with a quarterback who has some, like,

00:46location issues, zero pocket sense, all of it.

00:50It is just, it is so bad with the quarterback situation.

00:53And look, I don't think Aiden O'Connell's it, either.

00:56I am now at the point with this Raider team where you draft a quarterback this upcoming

00:59year.

01:00This is, I know all the time, I talk about you gotta get that foundation set and all

01:04of those things.

01:05I think the offensive line is maybe a little bit better, and you don't have Devontae Adams

01:10there to throw to anymore, but with Bowers and Myers and Tucker and Turner there, there's

01:15at least a couple of guys that you can get a little bit excited about right now, and

01:19I think you are not bringing a quarterback into the worst situation in the NFL, anyway.

01:25So I think that the time would be now to go out and make that move.

01:30As far as some of the other highlights from this game, I loved that field goal with three

01:36minutes left in the fourth quarter when you're down by eight.

01:40Not from a game play standpoint, but because I had Raiders plus seven from the pick-per-game

01:45on Friday, and they were down by eight, and so you kick a field goal, hey, covered the

01:50five, congratulations.

01:52From an actual, I-want-to-win-football-game standpoint, it was abysmal and just an embarrassing

01:58note to kick that field goal.

02:00I don't know how you can tell your offense that you are taking them seriously if you

02:04are having your quarterback have to watch as they kick a field goal in the red zone,

02:11down by eight.

02:12You still have to go down and get a touchdown anyway, and to then have to, like, it didn't

02:24make any sense to me.

02:25Sorry, I'm getting off, whatever, because I'm mixing a couple of rants together.

02:30You're down by eight, you kick a field goal, you still need to march down and get a touchdown.

02:35But it's not a two-possession game.

02:37Like you are there.

02:39Just try to get the touchdown.

02:40And I understand the thought of, um, well we have three timeouts, we, look, the Rams,

02:45they don't have Kupercup, they haven't really been able to move the ball, uh, let's just

02:48do that.

02:49This run defense couldn't stop a fucking thing, and so I don't know why they thought they

02:52could get the stops when they did.

02:54Then they didn't use the timeouts in the way that maybe you would want them to, although

02:57again, they weren't getting stops anyway, so put them in weird positions to try to use

03:01those timeouts, but regardless, the thought that this offense could kick that field goal,

03:09and then the defense is going to get a stop, and in a two-minute drill, they're gonna go

03:14out and do anything to move the ball down the field and get points AGAIN, is just, it's

03:21not happening.

03:22There's no read on the situation at all.

03:25Antonio Pierce, I think, has really established now that the Victory Cigars were fun, he brought

03:32a bit of a swagger back to the Raiders, and I was behind it.

03:34I was in on it.

03:36He had really kind of fooled me, duped me even, into thinking that this was a football

03:41team that had just better vibes now with Josh McDaniels, and look, it is easy to come in

03:47and have better vibes than Josh McDaniels, but I think Antonio Pierce has really shown

03:52now that when it comes to in-game management, when it comes to lineup decisions, when it

03:56comes to handling the media, it's fail, fail, fail.

04:01He doesn't know what he is doing, he is not an NFL coach, and you can bring in all the

04:04different advisors and whatever you want, it ain't working.

04:08And so, I'm just, I'm over it.

04:10You could bring in Robert Salah tomorrow, and I'd be fine with it, and I don't think

04:14he's that great of a coach either, but you want to bring someone in for the vibes of

04:18it or anything?

04:19At least he can kind of coach a defense a little bit.

04:22And seeing people this week, and honestly I've been seeing it for a bit, seeing people

04:26make the joke, oh yeah, just draft Shadur Sanders, bring in Dion as the head coach and

04:30see what happens.

04:31And honestly at this point, sure.

04:33Just go with it.

04:34At this point, honestly, I don't even care.

04:37It's just, it is not working, he doesn't have any of the answers to help this team out,

04:41and he has now, I think, by a significant margin, cost this team more than he has helped

04:47them.

04:48But aside from that, everything's great with the Las Vegas Raiders.
