Chip Kelly has been known as an offensive genius

Plus they got Pete Carroll

What gives

They’re stupid. Bowers had 3 TDs last week. He got 3 targets this week. That’s crazy! Broncos defense is insane which certainly affected everything but they didn’t even try to get the ball to their best player.

Kelly was an offensive innovator in college over a decade and a half ago. He’s not some NFL offensive genius and players don’t like him.

1) Geno Smith
2) Pete Carroll
3) Rookie RB going against top 5 D
4) It’s the fricking Raiders

Offensive line & Receivers are hot garbage.

Geno ain’t great either but he isn’t really being set up to succeed either, same with Jeanty.

They're bad at OL, WR, and QB.

They have a great TE and a rookie RB who looks above average. How many good offenses have that as a backbone with the other flaws?

The broncos were even without Surtain tonight. The offensive line is horrible and WR's are the worst in the league. Geno threw a couple of deep dimes that were dropped. Can't believe they didn't throw to Bowers more though.

I'm not even sure Flacco could make this offense decent.

It doesn’t matter how good your one good player is if everyone else is hot garbage and you can double team the best player. TE can only do so much.

They went up against arguably the best front 7 in the league and a top 5 defense.

Lets not act as if they choked vs the saints or jets.

They were truly great in the 70s and 80s

Broncos finally get a week off now. They need it bad. Gotta get Surtain back and the offense just looks spent. They need to get refreshed.

Oregon had more talent than 10 of the 12 teams they played every year

It’s the NFL. If you don’t have an offensive line you’re screwed.
- Your offensive plays are limited due to less time to throw.
- Your run game is impacted, which makes you somewhat one dimensional
- you’re relegated to short and underneath routes which basically makes open lanes even smaller to throw into

Add to that poor WRs, and you’re screwed

Outside his first year in Philly, Chip has gotten shite on in the NFL every times he’s been there. Other teams were laughing at his scheme simplicity when he was in San Francisco

Because nobody scares you in the Raiders WR room. Their biggest threat is a TE (Bowers).

OL is hot garbage. Not sure if it's changed, but as of a game or two ago, Jeanty had a negative yard before contact.

And Geno is who we thought he was.

ETA: No longer negative, Jeanty has 0.6 yards before contact on the year.

This regime will be a 1 and done. I turned it off after the QB sneak on 3rd and 2. I won’t watch another play this season. Maybe Gruden wins his suit with the NFL and the raiders bring him back to fix this disaster. fricking Goodell is a POS.

The raiders have had a season and a half of real football over the last 20 years. Why the raiders are still an NFL team is the better question.
