Welcome to episode 146 of The Autumn Windbags! THANK YOU for subscribing to our channel and helping us reach 5,000 subscribers! Question of the day, what are we calling the final play of the Raiders-Patriots game? It was one of the wildest plays of the NFL season at the end of the raiders Patriots game and needs to be encapsulated with a great name. Chandler Jones earned the fan's adoration with the play and the Mac Jones stiff arm. The NFL released the rosters for the 2023 NFL Pro Bowl. The Las Vegas Raiders will send Davante Adams, Josh Jacobs and Maxx Crosby. All three no-brainers. The only Raiders players that have a case for going that didn't are punter AJ Cole and kicker Daniel Carlson. The Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium is a different environment that the days of the LA Coliseum or Oakland Coliseum. A video of a Raider fan harassing a Patriots fan went viral at the Las Vegas Raiders vs New England Patriots game. Raiders president Sandra Douglass Morgan even tweeted that the Raiders will reach out to the Patriots fan. Former Raiders first round draft pick Damon Arnette is back in Raiders news. The camera footage from the police who arrested Arnette just got released. Damon Arnette was even dumber than we thought. ESPN released with their power rankings the biggest "surprise" for every NFL team. ESPN chose the NFL's leading rusher Josh Jacobs as the Raiders'. Josh Jacobs was always a good running back but the way Josh McDaniels has utilized him has made him an All-Pro. Steelers Raiders Predictions: Its the 50 year anniversary of the Franco Harris and the Immaculate Reception. The Raiders-Steelers Rivalry runs deep and continues on Christmas Eve on primetime. Raiders vs Steelers game will come down to Derek Carr, Davante Adams, Darren Waller, Hunter Renfrow and the rest of the pass catchers making big plays against the boom and bust defense of the Steelers. Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett should be back in action and test the raiders poor pass defense. In What Up, Windbags the guys compare last season's last four games vs this season's last four games, celebrating sloppy wins and slowly building a team.

Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots traveled to Sin City to face Josh McDaniels and the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders last play was one for the ages as former New England Patriot Chandler Jones intercepted a lateral to Pats quarterback Mac Jones and returned it for the game winning touchdown in one of the craziest raiders endings in history. The lateral came from Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and the decision cost his team a shot at overtime and perhaps the NFL playoffs. It all started when Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson fumbled on the play. The raiders last play will live in infamy considering the history between the Raiders and Patriots. The Raiders winning touchdown was needed considering how disappointing the season has been. The Patriots lose not only the game but drop to 7-7 and could miss the playoffs. Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow returned for Raiders Pats after being on injured reserve for several weeks.

Welcome to episode 144 of The Autumn Windbags! Now that the Raiders fell disastrously to the LA Rams on Thursday Night Football, the question of the day asks why are you watching the last four games of the NFL regular season? Raiders radio host and insider JT the Brick reported that general manager Dave Ziegler is looking to revamp the Las Vegas Raiders. The Windbags discuss if this is a strategy by Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler as damage control to push the blame to the roster and not the coaching staff. The offensive line has continued to improve but the right guard and right tackle situation could be up in the air. Davante Adams is a lock to stick around. Josh Jacobs, Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller will all be expensive next year. And finally quarterback Derek Carr is due for a jump in salary next season. On defense, only Maxx Crosby, Nate Hobbs and Chandler Jones are a lock to stay. Trevon Moehrig and Divine Diablo likely stick around. Everyone else is replaceable. In Raiders news today, starting guard Alex Bars went down against the LA Rams and then the Raiders cut John Simpson. They potentially lose the started to injury then cut the backup. Trevon Mullen was traded to Arizona Cardinals then cut but that team turning into a 7th round pick. Linebacker Jayon Brown is headed to injured reserve AND Divine Deablo is not back from injured reserve. The linebacker room is down to basically three guys. NFL Pro Bowler Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller are designated to return to the team off injured reserve this week and should be able to play against the New England Patriots. The goals are to get them more comfortable in the new system and get the two players as much production as possible to potentially trade them. Patriots Raiders Preview: Mac Jones, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots travel to Las Vegas to take on Belichick's protégé Josh McDaniels and the Raiders. In What Up, Windbags the guys discuss what you can miss for Raiders games, crying in sports and why Josh McDaniels isn't tanking.

Episode 142 of The Autumn Windbags comes a day early thanks to a Thursday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Rams! The question of the day: With the Raiders sitting at 5-7 and on a three game win streak heading into NFL week 14, how long does the win streak have to be for you to think playoffs? The Las Vegas Raiders still have the Los Angeles rams, New England patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs to close out the season. Its a giant uphill battle to reach the playoffs but is there a certain win streak that would get you excited at the prospect? The Good: The Las Vegas Raiders are on this run on the back of a big win over the Los Angeles Chargers in NFL week 13. Josh Jacobs, Davante Adams, Derek and Josh McDaniels all had big performances. The offensive line had its best performance of the season pass blocking. Nate Hobbs returned from injured reserve and had a great game. Chandler Jones had his biggest game of the season BY FAR with three sacks. Defensive backs Isiah Pola-Mao and Duron Harmon came up huge as well. The Bad: The turnover monster appeared against the Chargers. Josh Jacobs is one of the best ball control running backs in the NFL but he lost a fumble. Derek Carr threw a pick six as well. The third down offense and 4th down defense both need work. Justin Herbert is great on 4th down but its still not an excuse. The Ugly: The NFL referees missed a pass interference call that led to Derek Carr's interception. In Raiders news, Raiders vs Patriots was supposed to be on Sunday Night Football in primetime. It made sense with Josh McDaniels vs Bill Bellichick and two teams that were supposed to be in playoff contention all season. It didn't pan out that way so the NFL flexed the game out of primetime and replaced it with the Washington Commanders vs the New York Giants. The Raiders made a move at defensive tackle as well releasing Kendal Vickers and signing Kyle Peko. With the recent success, are the Raiders finally set at offensive line? Currently, Kolton Miller, Dylan Parham, Andre James, Alex Bars, Jermain Eluemunor are the Raiders starters and have performed well recently. The Raiders and Josh McDaniels rotated offensive lineman all season trying to find the perfect match and it looks like they might have found it. The Las Vegas Raiders visit the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football. The Raiders Rams matchup pits the Rams terrible offense against the Raiders vastly improved defense. Raiders vs Rams 2022 also comes down to the Rams' two back up quarterbacks and beat up offensive line against the Raiders newfound pass rush. Another big Raiders Rams matchup is the poor pass defense against Derek Carr and Davante Adams and also potentially the return of Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow. Also, The Davante Adams vs Jalen Ramsey matchup is the most important one-on-one matchup of the game. On what up, windbags ... we discuss Soto playing sick, we found the hot blonde that was sitting next to Mark Davis at Raiders-Chargers and how big is the talent gap between Derek Carr and Justin Herbert?

Welcome to episode 140 of The Autumn Windbags! Question of the Day: with our channel closing in on 5,000 subscribers, the Windbags wonder what we should do to celebrate the milestone? The Las Vegas Raiders NFL Pro Bowl running back Josh Jacobs is having the best season of his career. He leads the NFL in rushing running for more yards than Saquon Barkley, Nick Chubb and Joe Mixon. Plus, Josh Jacobs has improved every part of his game. But the Josh Jacobs injury history is a big deal. Bringing his asking price down is a slew of big name running backs hitting the open market at the same time including Saquon Barkley, Miles Sanders, Tony Pollard, David Montgomery, Kareem Hunt and others. Does Dave Zeigler and the Raiders sign him to a long term deal, franchise tag him or let him walk? And how much did Davante Adams cost the Raiders with Josh Jacobs? In raiders news today, Anthony Averett goes to injured reserve and the Raiders bring up from the practice squad Tyler Hall. Tyler Hall Raiders time has been trending up. Tyler Hall is taking time from Amik Robertson and other Raiders corners. Former Raiders first round NFL draft pick safety Johnathan Abram got picked up by the Seattle Seahawks. Will he find more success in a new environment? Nate Hobbs is officially back from injured reserve and should hopefully play against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Los Angeles Chargers in NFL week 13 at Allegiant Stadium. Justin Herbert and company lead a passing attack that will be a major problem. It is up to Maxx Crosby and the pass rush to get to the quarterback. The Chargers run defense is worst in the NFL so Josh Jacobs should have another big game. The Chargers will be without JC Jackson, Joey Bosa and multiple defense tackles so Derek Carr should not get sacked six times like he did in their first game. Jermaine Eleumanor vs Khalil Mack is a big matchup to watch. in What Up, Windbags, the guys discuss how much blame should the defense shoulder, why the raiders never tanked and more evidence Derek Carr is the ultimate teammate.

The Las Vegas Raiders faced off against their old AFC West rivals Seattle Seahawks. Derek Carr and the Raiders offense put up 40 points against the Seahawks defense. Raiders running back Josh Jacobs went nuts on the ground and in the air with one of the best performances of his career. The Alabama running back looked like Bo Jackson against the Seahawks in the raiders overtime winner. The Las Vegas Raiders highlights include Derek Carr's three touch down passes, Maxx Crosby's clutch play and Davante Adams play as always in the Raiders overtime winner.

The Autumn Windbags delivering episode 138 a day EARLY in respect of Thanksgiving Day. The Windbags ask, what is the best Thanksgiving Day food? Soto brags about his jalapeno bacon mac and cheese. RJ goes with the traditional stuffing or his patented deep fried turkey. This conversation went WAY longer than it should have. The Raiders vs Broncos game brought out the best in the Las Vegas Raiders locker room. The Raiders released the locker room celebration and it showed head coach Josh McDaniels delivering a great victory speech. It showed Josh Jacobs, Davante Adams, Max Crosby and others celebrating. But mostly, it showed the team not fully celebrating until quarterback Derek Carr was in there. Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon was released this week. Gordon's fumbling problems have to be a big reason why. The Melvin Gordon fumble on the goal line was all Maxx Crosby punching the ball out. Maxx Crosby played a huge role in ending the career of a Bronco. There are also other rumors that Melvin Gordon may have also been cut because he played the music of Russell Wilson's ex-fiancé in the locker room. The New York Jets have one of the best defenses in football and have a great team when the line gets healthy. Except Zach Wilson is holding the team back. Derek Carr's name was floated out as a possible target to be a good fit for that team. Its hard to find a comparable quarterback trade to assign value to Derek Carr. Matt Ryan, Carson Wentz, Matt Stafford, Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson all involve multiple variables. The Windbags took a closer look at the depth of the Raiders organization. @Haberman & Middlekauff played a clip of John Middlekauf describing how he got fired as the Raiders post game radio host for tweeting about the raiders 0-10 start. The Raiders fired Middlekauf. Is this petty and a sign of how the Raiders do business or was Middlekauf in the wrong for bashing his employer? In What Up, Windbags, the guys answer if Josh McDaniels was the biggest winner Sunday, does the Raiders time of possession point to the defense or offense and does a listener want to share his girlfriend with the Windbags?
