Well, the run-game was working until we stopped using it or ran Kamara inside...

Playcall was weird. It was like we went from running on them to when we were still ahead, and with injured wide receivers, we just decided to throw every down. Defeats the purpose of keeping the defense off the field. Also, is Murray just a token running back? We don't do anything to use AK as a decoy and let him blast.

Gruden ran 35 times vs 19 for Saints.

Penalties 10-129 vs 3-13 (Oakland)

Time of possession 36:18 vs 23:42 (Saints)

That's pretty telling on why we took an L.

Agreed, it’s pretty much what I saw also. And of those ten penalties, five of them gave the opposing offense a first down. It gets harder to win when you’re “giving” first downs away.

Admittedly there may not be a connection, but leading the NFL in penalty yards is exactly the type of thing one could reasonably expect from a team that spent a good portion of the off season infighting over identity politics.

Saints 1-1.
It was one game.
I will wait

That and Raiders were like 100 of 100 on 3rd down.

I don't know what's wrong with Lattimore, why does he always struggle against these nobody receivers?

Shuts down guys like Evans, Amari Cooper, DJ Chark and then gets beaten by Hunter Renfrow and some other random player that beat him for 15 yards on a 8 yard curl on 3rd down!

Lattimore better get it together.

Devante Adams is a very good WR.
