Among the floundering offensive lineup of the NFL teams, the Las Vegas Raiders successfully etched their name, failing to find the cohesion and consistency in this line in spite of having Jimmy Garoppolo at the helm. The lack of chemistry and a reliable offensive identity have raised questions about the team’s offensive strategy during almost all the games.
These struggling offenses not only diminished the hope and love of the fans for the Raiders, but following the LA team’s latest defeat, frustration was clearly visible in the eyes of the team’s head coach, Josh McDaniel, as the coach was discovered to be confused about their starter role.
Raiders HC McDaniels’ evasive response raises eyebrows
The Raiders’ struggling offense led the team to aspire to add Tom Brady during this offseason. In this process, they framed Derek Carr as Brady’s backup, not their season starter, Garoppolo.
The ball was not on their court, accepting Garoppolo as the only choice at last. The team wished for Brady and certainly can’t be satisfied with Jimmy’s offensive tactic. It was crystal clear after McDaniel hit a query regarding the participation of Garoppolo as a starter in the upcoming week.
“I’m not going to talk about that right now,” McDaniels said, per The Athletic’s Vic Tafur.
McDaniels was noncommittal about Garoppolo remaining the starting QB: “I'm not going to talk about that right now.”

Following a six-year stint with the San Francisco 49ers, Jimmy launched a new chapter with the LA team this offseason as an unrestricted free agent after the 49ers found their offensive solution in Brock Purdy. Under his leadership, the team recorded the 27th position regarding total offense in terms of yards per game, averaging 284.1.
Las Vegas Raiders suffer another ugly defeat against Lions
After kicking off the season with a one point win over the Denver Broncos, the Raiders now sit at the same 3-5 record after being outran by the Lions 26-14 on Monday Night Football to cap off Week 8. The night offered the fans the opportunity be the witnesses of another terrible offensive play of the Las Vegas team.
The Garoppolo lead offense was outgained 486 to 157 by the Lions, converting only one third down without putting up 160 total yards. The team’s starter Garoppolo encountered a tough night by dint of his rough plays. He completed only 10 out of 21 passes for 126 yards and recorded one interception.

The team’s defense can’t be blamed as the defensive lineman’s efforts to pull together a victory was eye-catching during the night. Nevertheless, without a sound performance from the offense, a victory is better to be mentioned as a daydream.
