who dat ? I tuned out the NFL
Rumor on the internet is that the O line (all black) got angry at Derek Carr (white QB) because he stood for the anthem while they all got on their knees. In retaliation the O line played matador for a few plays and Carr ended up on the ground in Washington. Throw in a few dropped balls and some messed up snaps and the Raiders stunk out the place.
The next game, Carr got roughed up so badly that he broke three vertebrae. He is getting no protection from one of the best O lines in the league. A beat reporter tried to ask management about the rumors and was supposedly told that if he pursued the story he would be banned from the Raiders facilities.
The Raiders are in disarray. They are losing games on the field and fans off the field. It is all about the protests.
