On the Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Tony, two weeks ago the Las Vegas Raiders were collapsing they were on a five game losing streak with them scheduled to start a two game road trip in Denver and Seattle all looked bleak until they had break out games resulting in overtime wins in Denver and Seattle.

#2 Tony, when you saw Raiders quarterback Derek Carr nearly broke down after the game after a home loss to the Indianapolis Colts was that a moment of reckoning for Carr and the Raiders that they mad and they weren’t going to take it anymore?

#3 Also owner Mark Davis had head coach Josh McDaniels back after the fifth straight loss and fans calling for his head. Was it a matter of Davis is not going to fire McDaniels and be on the hook for the rest of his salary or he still had faith in McDaniels to persevere through those tough times.

#4 Tony, the Raiders as now have no chance of making the post season at 4-7. The Raiders would have to win the rest of their games and finish 10-7 that’s six consecutive more games and wins to get some daylight.

#5 Tony, Raiders and Chargers as the Raiders return to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to face the Los Angeles Chargers (6-5). The Chargers just got by the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday 25-24. How do you see the outcome between these two teams.

Carr-Adams Connection Beats Denver In Overtime 22-16

By Barbara Mason

Sunday afternoon two teams that have been struggling all season met at Empower Field at Mile High. The Las Vegas Raiders (3-7) traveled to Denver to take on the Broncos (3-7). The Raiders have quarterback Derek Carr and while not a top ten quarterback, he does fall between 11 and 16th so he is in the top half of the league.

The Broncos have a top ten quarterback in Russell Wilson but his team has still struggled this season. The Raiders ended their three-game skid with a 22-16 win and Denver has lost five of their last six games.

The Raiders have been competitive in most of the games they have lost this year, in fact six of their seven losses were one score games. Derek Carr has struggled without tight-end Darren Waller and wide receiver Hunter Renfrow both out with injury. He does have star wide receiver Davante Adams. He obviously cannot target Adams every time he throws the ball and the Broncos defense ranks second in the league so the Raiders face a mighty challenge.

The Broncos scored first in this game, a touchdown and that would be the only action either team would see in the first quarter. Former Raider Latavius Murray rushed for one yard giving Denver a 7-0 lead.

The Broncos would extend their lead in the second quarter 10-0. Denver kicker Brandon McManus kicked a 48 Yd field goal at 9:19. With 5:36 left in the half Las Vegas quarterback Derek Carr found Davante Adams for 31 yards, the touchdown and a Daniel Carlson extra point. Las Vegas was within striking distance trailing 7-10.

The Raiders tied up the game in the third quarter 10-10. Daniel Carlson kicked a 52 Yd field goal and Las Vegas was back in business.

It all came downs to the fourth quarter in a very close match-up. Denver took the lead to start the quarter, at 14:56; a McManus 52 yard field goal and a 13-10 Bronco lead. With eight minutes left in the game the Raiders were threatening in this three-point game. Josh Jacobs was shouldering all the ground work carrying the ball 23 times for 110 yards. The Raiders knotted up the game with a career- best 57 yard field goal from Daniel Carlson. It was all tied up at 13.

After that Raider field goal the Broncos mounted a drive that put them into field goal range. McManus kicked a 48 yard. field goal to break the tie 16-13. The Raiders had some work to do with 3:30 left on the clock. Las Vegas went three and out. The Broncos would now try to run the clock out on this game.

The Broncos needed a single first down to seal the win and could not come up with it. The Raiders had less than two minutes to either tie up this game or win it. Derek Carr found Josh Jacobs for 43 yards with 0:57 left in the game. Carlson would kick a 25 yard field goal to tie up this game at 16. The Broncos had 0:07 to get within field goal range. This game would go into overtime.

The Raiders won the toss and would start their second overtime this year. It could not have been a more dramatic finish in this game. In a beautifully designed play Derek Carr found Davante Adams open for 35 yds and the game-ending touchdown. Las Vegas came away with the win.

This game had its ups and downs for Vegas but they pulled it all together when it really counted. Carr finished 23 of 37 for 298 yards and two touchdowns. Josh Jacobs carried the ball 24 times for 109 yards and had 51 yards receiving.

Carr was able to find seven receivers in this game. Adams had seven receptions for 141 yards. Las Vegas finished this game with 307 receiving yards. The Raiders were pressed and had to go the distance but they persisted and it paid off against a very tough Bronco defense.

Next up for the Raiders next Sunday will be the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:05 PM PT.

On the Raiders podcast with Rich:

#1 Rich, the Las Vegas Raiders (3-7) got a walk off touchdown on a 35 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Derek Carr who threw to wide receiver Davante Adams in overtime at 8:24 against the Denver Broncos (3-7) for the winning touchdown.

#2 The Broncos got on the scoreboard first when Latavius Murray carried for a one yard touchdown at 6:22 in the first quarter to put Denver on the scoreboard 7-0.

#3 In fourth quarter action Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson booted a 57 yard field goal to give the Raiders a second chance with 0:16 left to tie up the game.

#4 After losing three straight games the Raiders seemed more prepared in this game and wanted to everything they could to avoid losing again.

#5 The Raiders hope to put together two wins in a row as they host the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field in Seattle a 1:05pm kick off. The Raiders have not won two straight games this season yet.

On the Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 After the Las Vegas Raiders (2-7) loss on Sunday 25-20 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas the Raider fans booed the team off the field and some fans yelled at Raiders owner Mark Davis to fire Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels not quite the exit the Raiders wanted.

#2 McDaniels to say the least is under media and fan scrutiny for the 2-7 start and said during his post game press conference that the trouble and the loses start with him.

#3 Davis told the media that the Raiders did an extensive search for a new coach in the off season and said that he’s building an organization and that Rome wasn’t built in day.

#4 Talk show hosts and reporters say that Raider quarterback Derek Carr who teared up during the post game press conference after last Sunday’s game sounded like he was looking at the end. There was also mention that there might be a strong quarterback class coming out of the draft next season.

#5 The Raiders are headed for Denver (3-6) for this Sunday’s contest. The Broncos lost four of their last five games and lost by a touchdown to the Tennessee Titans 17-10. Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson hasn’t been world beater can the Raiders stop him this Sunday?

Raiders Fall In Final Minute to Colts 25-20

Raiders Fall In Final Minute to Colts 25-20

By Barbara Mason

Last Sunday Nov 6th the Las Vegas Raiders (2-7) lost to the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars 27-20. Quarterback Derek Carr threw for 248 yards and two touchdowns, enough to win most games. Las Vegas only managed 73 rushing yards and the fumble at the end of the game sealed the loss for the Raiders.

Sun Nov 13th the Raiders took on Matt Ryan and the Indianapolis Colts (4-5-1) and fell on the last play of the game 25-20. The Colts scored the first touchdown of the game in the first quarter. A rush by quarterback Matt Ryan up the middle for one yard gave the Colts the early lead 7-0.

In the early minutes of the second quarter Chase McLaughlin kicked a 48 Yd. field goal extending the Indianapolis lead 10-0. Through the first two quarters the Raiders offense was stagnant. In the final minute, at 0:58 Las Vegas showed some life. Quarterback Derek Carr completed a 4 Yd pass to Foster Moreau and a touchdown. The Raiders trailed at the half 13-7 but had finally gotten up on the scoreboard. The Colts had won the coin toss and elected to start the second half.

The Raiders put together an excellent drive late in the third quarter. On a 2nd and 20 Carr found Foster Moreau for 18 yards driving down to the Indianapolis 17 yard line. Moreau was injured during that play and his return was questionable. Three plays later Las Vegas scored when Josh Jacobs rushed for one yard tying up the game at 13. Daniel Carlson kick the extra point giving the Raiders their first lead of the game 14-13.

With less than two minutes left in the third quarter, the Colts put together a successful drive culminating in a Jonathan Taylor touchdown. The attempted two-point conversion failed. Indianapolis took a 19-14 lead into the fourth quarter.

The Raiders scored in the early minutes of the fourth quarter when Derek Carr found Devante Adams in the end zone for 48 yards and the Raiders third touchdown of the day. Las Vegas would attempt a two-point conversion that failed. The Raiders now had a 20-19 lead with 11:36 left in the game.

To this point Matt Ryan had not thrown for a single touchdown. Derek Carr on the other hand had thrown two touchdowns.

The Colts would take back the lead with 5:07 left on the clock 25-20. This was Matt Ryan’s second rushing touchdown of the game. At the two minute warning the Raiders were in Colt territory 1st and 10 at the 49 Yd. line. Las Vegas drove deep into Colt territory and with 55 seconds on the clock had a 4th and seven. It all came down to one final play for the Raiders. An attempted pass from Carr to Adams failed and Indianapolis came away with the win 25-20. Las Vegas had fallen to a dismal 2-7.

The Raiders waited far too long to get this game going. They had a terrible first half and came on strong in the second half but had to play from behind for much of the second half. It was just too little too late.

They had every opportunity to close out this game in the final minute but could not get any offense going. Carr finished with 248 yards passing with two touchdowns, Josh Jacobs had 78 rushing yards and one touchdown, Devante Adams finished with 126 receiving yards and one touchdown.

Next week the Raiders take on the Broncos in Denver a very tough stadium to manage. The atmosphere alone makes winning a challenge. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:05 PM PT.

On the Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 Tony, the Las Vegas Raiders (1-3) were able to get great ground game from Josh Jacobs who carried for 144 yards for two touchdowns and the defense stopped Denver Broncos (2-2) quarterback Russell Wilson and the offense.

#2 Tony, the fourth quarter looked like it might lean in the direction for Wilson and the offense but the Raiders relied on Jacobs who carried to keep the Raiders in the ball game as Las Vegas scored a touchdown and field goal to keep the Broncos at bay.

#3 This was Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels first win as head coach and since his last head coaching job with the Broncos in 2010 how sweet was revenge in putting this win together?

#4 Raiders quarterback Derek Carr threw for 188 yards going 21-34 with no touchdowns and no interceptions pretty impressive no carries and the Raiders won it by 11 points.

#5 Up next for the Raiders it’s off to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City where the Kansas City Chiefs (4-1) are coming off a 41-31 ten point win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa Bay. It’s Monday Night Football what are the chances for the Raiders picking up a win in Kansas City for this one.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with David Zizmor: How Williams injury will impact the 49ers offensive line; Garoppolo hoping to have breakout game after Denver loss

San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams (71) gets assisted off the field by the 49ers medical staff in the first half during Sunday Night Football on Sep 25, 2022 and will be out from 4-6 weeks due to an high ankle injury. He will miss his first game on Monday Night Football Oct 3, 2022 against the Los Angeles Rams at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara (AP News file photo)

On the 49ers podcast with David:

#1 David, talk about the loss of offensive tackle Trent Williams who will be out from four to six weeks with a high ankle sprain.

#2 One thing that 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is trying to prevent is putting Williams on the injured reserve because NFL rules allow only eight players per season and are allowed to return after missing at least four weeks.

#3 After losing quarterback Trey Lance for the rest of the season and taking a 11-10 loss to the Denver Broncos last Sunday. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was coming off stepping in for Lance and leading the 49ers to a win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sep 18th but things went sideways for Garoppolo and the 49ers in their game at home against the Denver Broncos on Sun 25th.
