  • Not so good anymore.

    This used to be a good show when Moe was on but (Merv?) is a little too much for me.

  • Step it up

    You guys are too whiny. Constantly complaining about something. You often sound like my 3 year old. Continually bringing the glass half full approach. We are RAIDERS FANS, and deserve more optimism than you are capable of. You put your stock into the people who reply to your posts. They speak for such a small percentage, that it’s amusing you take them so seriously (if they are even being serious in the first place). Most of which are the same handful of people. I come from a true RAIDER family ... more

    Love this show because Scott and Moe keep it real and avoid recency bias. They don’t just echo popular takes or tell fans what they want to hear — it’s objective, honest Raiders talk. If this team’s going to stink or not be as good as other outlets think, they’ll say it, and I respect that.

    Do you guys need to upload 4 shows each time? Just keep the full episodes and if someone wants to skip ahead they can. No need to have a separate upload for each segment.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Raiders vs Chiefs Postgame: So Close. What Went Wrong in the 30-27 Loss
Q: Can Kirk Cousins throw deep?
Murf questions whether Cousins' arm strength can consistently support deep throws. Scott suggests the team may be building around Fernando Mendoza and could invest more in receivers as Mendoza takes over.
Raiders vs Chiefs Postgame: So Close. What Went Wrong in the 30-27 Loss
Q: Do the Raiders need a wide receiver at the deadline?
The hosts and callers see a need for more reliable receiver production, but question whether an available trade target would improve the long-term roster. They suggest focusing on the draft and potentially free agency instead.
Ashton Jeanty and Raiders Run Game Failure Film Breakdown with Zain Dhanani
Q: How do you know if this situation is getting better? What can people look for this week against the Rams or next week when they go to New York to play the Jets?
Dhanani says to look for more runs that avoid being blown up in the backfield. He expects the Jets game to be a better checkpoint after the unit has had more time to gel, and says persistent problems could warrant personnel or scheme changes.
Ashton Jeanty and Raiders Run Game Failure Film Breakdown with Zain Dhanani
Q: When you look at this from a macro 50,000 foot level at first, how do you first assess what the problem is with a team like the Raiders unable to consistently run the ball well?
Dhanani says the offensive line is the main culprit, while Jeanty also has areas to improve and the scheme may not suit him as well as a gap-based approach.
Raiders Are 3-1 With the Worst Run Game in the NFL & Here's Why
Q: What is making this defense so good against that run? What are they doing well?
Price says New England is strongest inside, with Milton Williams and Robert Spillane, but has struggled to contain the edge. He suggests the Raiders may find more success running outside than between the tackles.
