Episode 177 of The Autumn Windbags LIVE from Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Raiders have had some hard times so lets look at reasons to be optimistic. The Raiders can't lose so many one-point game again. The Raiders have four players that could be the best at their position next season: NFL All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams, NFL All-Pro end Maxx Crosby, NFL rushing leader Josh Jacobs and Pro Bowl kicker Daniel Carlson. The pass rush should be good with Maxx Crosby, Chandler Jones and first round NFL Draft pick Tyree Wilson. The targets will be great with Davante Adams, Pro Bowl slot receiver Hunter Renfrow, Jacoby Meyers and rookie tight end Michael Mayer. Josh Jacobs has hall of fame numbers. He has the seventh most yards from scrimmage through 25-years-old behind only Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Edgerrin James, Walter Payton, Ladanian Tomlinson and Marshall Faulk. Now that Las Vegas Raiders passing leader Derek Carr is on the New Orleans Saints, should Raider Nation root for Derek Carr to show Mark Davis the Raiders need more accountability? In What Up, Windbags, how a Raider becomes a Raider, paying Josh Jacobs and Skip and Shannon 2.0.

Welcome to Episode 172 of the Autumn Windbags LIVE from Shanghai, China! Question of the day, was the Las Vegas Raiders passing problems in 2022 lie with quarterback Derek Carr or head coach Josh McDaniels? The Raiders passing game was not up to par during the 2022 NFL season. Derek Carr put up some of his worst numbers despite having NFL All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams, Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller and Pro Bowl slot receiver Hunter Renfrow. Derek Carr was known as a great comeback quarterback. But according to one stat, Jimmy Garoppolo is even BETTER at comebacks than Derek Carr. The stat comes from 4th quarter wins. Tom Brady leads the category. In Las Vegas Raiders news, Raiders owner Mark Davis announced that Future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady will be a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. The Tom Brady Las Vegas Raiders relationship is the question. ESPN did their NFL Power Index Rankings. The Raiders did not do well: W/L 7.6/9.3 #24 Playoff probability 21.4% #28 Win Division probability 7.2% #30 Make Divisional Round 9% #28 Make Conference Championship 2.9% #27 Make SuperBowl 1.1% #27 Win SuperBowl .4% #27 Bleach Report listed the number one area of concern for all 32 NFL teams. The writer chose the Raiders offensive line. With so many issues all over the defense, why is o-line the biggest area of concern? The Raiders line played better as the season went on. In What Up, Windbags, should the Chargers be the Raiders biggest rival, Aidan O'Connell getting Derek Carr #4 jersey and can the Raiders continue to own the Broncos?
