Las Vegas Raiders vs. Buffalo Bills Instant Reaction
Las Vegas, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders fell to 2-2 on the season when they let the Buffalo Bills (4-0) come to Allegiant Stadium and take a game the Raiders should have won, 30-23.
The story of the game was two-fold. First, the Raiders defense is struggling. Certainly, injuries are not helping, but every player on the roster is a paid professional, and that side of the ball struggled.
The Raiders defense allowed the Bills to garner 350 yards and score 30 points. It looked worse than it sounds.
Secondly, the Raiders are a good team. They have the talent to make the playoffs, but they are not good enough to beat their opponent, any NFL opponent, and beat themselves.
The self-inflicted wounds are what was worse. Poor plays, turnovers, and stupid penalties are too much to overcome. They had seven penalties for 66 yards and two fumbles lost.
Derek Carr now has 151 career touchdown passes. He passes the legend Kenny "The Snake" Stabler for the franchise record. He also has zero interceptions thrown through four NFL games this season and eight dating to last season.
Those are the only highlights for the Silver and Black today.
The season is far from over, and now is not the time for a knee-jerk reaction. But if the Raiders are going to make my pre-season prediction of 10 wins and the playoffs, they are now going to have to win a game that I think they will lose.
Could they get that one next week in Kansas City?
