Everything Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said, post Rams

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – The Las Vegas Raiders (2-5) literally fell apart today, losing 20-15 to the Los Angeles Rams. Their season continues on a downward trajectory that makes no sense whatsoever.

Aidan O’Connell left the game early with a hand/finger injury and Gardner Minshew had three turnovers for a Silver and Black team that looked like they had been hit in the face with a Mike Tyson haymaker.

The Raiders kept the game relatively close with a few field goals (Daniel Carlson was outstanding at 5/5), but the only reason it was close is because the Rams are terrible.

After the game, Silver and Black coach Antonio Pierce spoke, and you can watch his entire press conference below:

With 1:06 left in the third quarter, trailing 20-9, Nate Hobbs intercepted Matthew Stafford and it was the outstanding bright spot on a dark day.

But he stayed true to form for the 2024 season and almost immediately self-destructed with an unforced penalty on first down.

They failed to score and settled for their fourth field goal of the day.

Towards the end of the game, trailing by eight, the team cost another penalty and conceded a field goal.

There’s no shame in losing a game in the National Football League, let alone a road game, but despite all the injuries, the Raiders have too much talent to sit here today and stare at 2-5 and the offense beat weekly the Raiders themselves.

Credit the Raiders; They haven’t given up, but they’re also a team that’s limping into the core of the schedule and they look desperate.

With injuries making team headquarters resemble a M*A*S*H* unit, there are legitimate reasons why the team is struggling. However, mistakes from players and coaches alike made the games look bad.

To put it simply, injuries and youth are a real problem, but a pathetic offensive plan and execution with player errors are too much to overcome.
