It goes without saying that the Oakland Raiders were not very good in 2018, as they finished the year at 4-12. There are many reasons for this, and we could go into all of them, but I’m sure if you’ve been around Twitter at all you hear the narrative around the team.
The Raiders gave up too many sacks, and didn’t get enough sacks, or the Raiders didn’t use Amari Cooper correctly, or Derek Carr is washed, etc. All of these are just what I said earlier, narratives.
Narratives are fun, they help drive story, but they can also be misleading.
