Raiders far from playoffs after record number of blown leads

Associated Press  

HENDERSON, Nev. — Las Vegas first-year coach Josh McDaniels spoke at training camp about learning “how not to lose,” but at the season’s midway point, the Raiders have found creative ways to come up short. At 2-6 after back-to-back losses at the New Orleans Saints and Jacksonville Jaguars — teams that are a combined 6-11 — the Raiders are nowhere near the playoffs, and McDaniels is facing tremendous heat from a fan base that isn’t shy about bringing up his 11-17 record more than a decade ago with the Denver Broncos. “There’s only one way to get through this, and that’s to work hard and earn the right to win.” As far as what changes McDaniels might make, he indicated not to expect anything dramatic. But even with Adams at receiver, the Raiders are in the middle of the pack in scoring offense, averaging 22.9 points a game, not much different from last season’s 21.8 figure.
