Earlier this week, Raiders Head Coach Pete Carroll was open and honest about his feelings regarding the Raiders’ 2-7 start to the season. Las Vegas has lost three straight games and have lost seven of their past eight. The Raiders’ skid was unexpected for Carroll, as he is not familiar with losing.
“How do I handle it? Not very well. It’s been crappy, and this is not what I expected to happen. And I didn’t feel that we would be this far behind the start of the season. And so, we’re just trying to just keep driving the messages home and trying to get better each week and do some things that we can build from. ,” Carroll said.
“And it’s a kick, it’s a blocked kick, it’s an OT catch, it’s a — and there’s four or five games here that could have flipped just like that, just small margins of better play and better execution, better calls and all of that, that we know. But unfortunately, it still is what it is, and then we have to deal with it.
“So, I’m not very well-versed in being in this situation, and I don’t have the experience about that, and I’m happy to say that, but I don’t like it one bit. And it’s been hard, and so fortunately, the coaches and we’re all — we keep grinding with our players, and we’re communicating well. They’re communicating well with us, and we’re keeping it together. And it’s just like the next opportunity feels like it’s going to turn. So, mom said something good is just about to happen.
