DETROIT, Mi.--Coming off a disappointing loss at the hands of the Chicago Bears, the Las Vegas Raiders (3-4) have the difficult task of taking down a Detroit Lions (5-2) team that is chomping at the bit for this upcoming Monday Night tilt.

We dive into the depth of the issues facing the discombobulated Silver and Black in our latest episode of the Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast.

You can watch the entire podcast above.

Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Mick Lombardi discussed why he and Josh McDaniels are encouraged that their impotent offense can turn the corner.

 "I think when you watch the tape and you watch us as an offense, you see every position maybe kind of takes a turn in making a mistake or level of execution. We have to do a better job overall as a coaching staff and from a player perspective of just not letting one mistake affect other plays, and just moving on and moving forward. And then I would say just executing a play all 11 together. We always talk about it. We’re not independent contractors, we all have to work together as a unit. And if one player messes up a certain aspect of the play, the play's not going to work. And it's not like we have five bombs going off at one time. It's really one little thing here and there. That was a four-yard gain, but ‘Man, if we did this a little better that would've been 15 or 20 yards.’ So, I think that's what we have to try and get at. A little bit more strain, a little bit more execution from all 11 guys on a more consistent basis. I think we're right there and we'll see a good performance for us as an offense, and where we want to be at least, or improvement." 

The Silver and Black will stay on the road to take on the Detroit Lions on Monday night, Oct. 30, at 8:15 p.m. EDT/5:15 p.m. PDT.
