There was a blocked punt, several missed blocks and tackles, and Las Vegas was down 40-3 in the third quarter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/games\/raiders-at-colts-2025-reg-5?tab=recap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">against the Colts<\/a>. Even with four starters out on Sunday, that\u2019s rough. Ultimately, the Raiders again looked unprepared in what was their fourth loss, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/games\/raiders-at-patriots-2025-reg-1?tab=recap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Week 1 vibes<\/a> long gone. With two more turnovers and an 0-for-4 showing in the red zone, Smith\u2019s starting job should be on the line. I\u2019ve been a big supporter of his over the years, but they can\u2019t keep trotting him out without improved results.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Things are getting dark around this team, with Geno Smith struggling again, throwing his eighth and ninth INTs&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":284232,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[529,7140,6328,532,8995,8996,531,8997,1544,8998,8999,9000,9001,2505,9002,8017,3570,535,8986,9006,9003,8812,533,9004,4716,5287,530,1105,1545,94785,9005,7149,62,3528,9007,67,132,68,534],"class_list":{"0":"post-284231","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-analysis","9":"tag-arizona-cardinals","10":"tag-atlanta-falcons","11":"tag-baltimore-ravens","12":"tag-buffalo-bills","13":"tag-carolina-panthers","14":"tag-chicago-bears","15":"tag-cincinnati-bengals","16":"tag-cleveland-browns","17":"tag-dallas-cowboys","18":"tag-denver-broncos","19":"tag-detroit-lions","20":"tag-green-bay-packers","21":"tag-houston-texans","22":"tag-indianapolis-colts","23":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","24":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","25":"tag-las-vegas-raiders","26":"tag-los-angeles-chargers","27":"tag-los-angeles-rams","28":"tag-miami-dolphins","29":"tag-minnesota-vikings","30":"tag-new-england-patriots","31":"tag-new-orleans-saints","32":"tag-new-york-giants","33":"tag-new-york-jets","34":"tag-no-minute","35":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","36":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","37":"tag-power-rankings","38":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","39":"tag-seattle-seahawks","40":"tag-sports","41":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","42":"tag-tennessee-titans","43":"tag-united-states","44":"tag-unitedstates","45":"tag-us","46":"tag-washington-commanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
