    Raiders vs. Panthers
    This is a home game for the Raiders, and the Panthers have been statistically one of the worst teams in the NFL. Two things reflect that: the Panthers have benched their QB and the Vegas Line opened at -7 in favor of the Raiders. I have the score at 22-16, and the line is now -5.5. Andy Dalton is 3-0 in his career starts against the Raiders, including a 24-0 win two years ago in a game that saw Derek Carr benched in favor of Jarrett Stidham. Dalton gives the Panthers a better chance now to win than Bryce Young, but I think the Raiders will win this one.

    Time to get that run O going.

    Bad first half. Everyone is in on it. Can't cover the middle of the field. Can't convert third downs.

    Horrendous start to the second half. Six plays, no conversions. Now down three scores.

    Start AOC, get Maxx healthy, hope the other injuries aren't too serious (Epps?), and get a f***ing running game going.

    It's become all too common with this franchise.

    Let's talk the running game, which is worst in the NFL.
    Yards added = YAC(ontact) running and YAC(atch) receiving
    PRWT is passer rating when targeted

    Mattison 58.8 PFF, 78 snaps, 21 plays, 107 yards, 3 TDs. 3 Broken Tackles. 96 yards added. 101.2 PRWT.
    Mattison has been much more successful than White. He has secured 6 first downs, has 3 TDs, and has been a solid receiver. Note that most of his damage has been done as a receiver and in short yardage.

    White
    45.3 PFF, 77 snaps, 38 plays, 118 yards, 0 TDs. 5 Broken Tackles. 51 yards added. 79.2 PRWT.
    -White hasn't gotten it done in any aspect of the offense so far. He isn't a versatile route runner, had a key fumble, has one run of longer than 9 yards (12), and hasn't topped 50 yards from scrimmage in a game.

    Minshew 7 carries, 18 yards, 1 first down.
    As a runner, Minshew might seem adequate. 5 of his yards have come after contact, but he's been suspect with ball security (3 INT, 2 fumbles). His RUN contribution to QBR is 30th in the NFL, behind only Kirk Cousins.

    Abdullah 57.8 FF, 30 snaps, 6 plays, 15 yards, 0 TDs. 0 Broken Tackles. 34 yards added. 81.2 PRWT.
    -Six plays is a severely limited sample size, but 9 of his yards came on one play. Abdullah hasn't been able to get it going so far.

    Meyers 1 carry, 3 yards
    Turner 1 carry, 2 yards

    Well, I thought the raiders would cover. They did, but they also won. Tried to give it away in the end. Rough season for White.

    Adams looking for a trade. Interesting.

    Built up when Adams wanted to skip pre-season and Pierce had to cater to him. Latter had to deal with the former's less than stellar blocking. Pierce lauded the current receiver's willingness to lay people out.

    Florio also mentioned the possibility of this situation Sunday night even before.

    I don't think Adams wants to do the dirty work, and I understand that. I hope we can shed him without having to pay those staggering salary amounts he's due. Sucks it didn't work out better. He's a top flight talent when engaged.

    The Raiders have won 8 in a row against the Broncos. Reeling from injuries and some internal turmoil, this is going to be gut check time.

    Broncos 20
    Raiders 17
