He's been in a lot of places and been fired every time.

Why do you suppose that is? Face it, he's terrible. Any influence Allen has only makes it that much worse. The guy had a terrible defense when he was with Denver and somehow got hired as the Raiders head coach because, well... They're the Raiders. The whole defensive staff is stale.
I appreciate what you had to say Burningmetal. That's exactly how I'm looking at the situation and probably not expressing myself rationally in the emotion of the moment. I agree 100% with your take.

I hear you, man. It is quite difficult to contain the frustration for me as well. Felt the schedule was set on a tee for us, and we blew it.

Re: Why Can't We Beat Rookie QB's at Home?

Most of the fans that can afford the games now are fake like their date's boobs...

We have little to no film on them...

We have had no real pass rush since La'roi Glover, Joe Johnson, etc...

We have a two-headed monster leading the defense - way too confusing for the players...

Did I mention the fake boobs can't make noise like the fans of old could?!?

this defense has been in a state of disrepair ever since Williams left.

More simply, why can't we play football for 4 quarters at home?

Re: Why Can't We Beat Rookie QB's at Home?

The massive turn over of veterans was a huge mistake. each year it has been a group of vets cut and a step backwards.

thank god we are almost out of any vets with time here left to cut.

So this is year 3 of the defense Rob has built.

How long do we wait for this to turn around?

So that vets to blame as bad eggs well is just about dry.

I am still hanging hope on the injury history.
