Raiders: Like it or not Josh McDaniels is not the problem in Las Vegas

Final Conclusion

No matter which way you shake it, this year has been a disaster to say the least. The Raiders haven’t lived up to the hype they had going into the season. Their struggles and woes are coming from both sides of the ball and just the overall execution as a whole.

As mentioned before we saw this offense waver down the stretch. The Raiders were 5-5 through Week 11 after three straight losses to the Giants, Chiefs, and Bengals and two lucky wins in overtime against the Ravens and Dolphins earlier in the year.

If those two wins bounce in the opposite direction, they are sitting in a similar situation at 3-7 with a very different narrative on how the season is shaping out.

Yes, Josh McDaniels and company took over a team that previously made the playoffs and still had many of their talented, core players intact. They also took over a team that had many underlying issues that made themselves apparent last year as well as resurfacing this year.

Say what you want comparing Rich Bissacia and Josh McDaniels, but the fact of the matter is that McDaniels was brought in to build a team that would bring success to the franchise for years to come. Giving him time to do things his way, the right way is going to do just that. Raider Nation will just have to be patient and trust the process, two things they’ve had a hard time doing over the years and rightfully so.
