In this episode of the Silver & Black Sports Network Podcast, Jesse Merrick reacts to the Raiders’ frustrating loss to the Broncos on Thursday Night Football. He breaks down what went wrong for the offense — from Chip Kelly’s questionable play-calling to the puzzling lack of involvement for Brock Bowers — and the self-inflicted mistakes that cost Vegas a winnable game. Despite another tough night for the offense, Jesse highlights a strong defensive performance and explains why there’s still reason for optimism on that side of the ball. Plus, he looks ahead to what’s next for the Raiders and whether it’s time for serious conversations about Chip Kelly’s future as offensive coordinator.
