There wasn’t much to hold in high regard when a football team gets shellacked by an inferior squad.
Such is life for the Las Vegas Raiders after the 36-22 thumping they took at the hands of the visiting Carolina Panthers this Sunday. The thorough defeat even prompted head coach Antonio Pierce to emphatically note there was “nothing” positive to take away from the loss that dropped his football team to 1-2 overall.
The rollercoaster of efficient and embarrassing Raiders football has to be wearing on Pierce, his coaching staff, and his players — and Week 3 of the young football season just closed.
