Yes, Tucker is automatic inside 50, but now 1 for 7 from 50 and beyond. Today is was one reason this team lost the game. Staying with kicking, Stout was anything but, today averaging 43 per, with one going only 20 when the Ravens really needed him to boom one. On the season so far, averaging just 37, with 2 inside the 20. His rookie year, 2022, he averaged 45 yards, with 7 touchbacks and 26 inside the 20. Last year, a bit better, 5 touchbacks, 28 inside the 20. His net yards has also gone down each year. Sure, that can be semantics as it is based on coverage. But hang time plays a big role in coverage, so keep that in mind, 40, 39, and 37 this year so far. I know, I am eating my words right now saying it is only game 2, Stout has time to work things out. Getting run into doesn't help, the blocking has been suspect. But they got him for yes, dropping it I side the 20 when a drive stalls around the 50. But more so for when the team is pinned inside its own 20 and they need the field flipped. Today was not the first game he has failed to flip the field. It has been low punts that go far but allow for big returns. Today's 20 yard punt at the worst time, with less than 3 mins left and a one score game, ouch. As with Tucker's miss in the first half, that last punt also played a big role in the loss. Time will tell but we may be seeing the end of a punter and kicker here if they can't turn this around. They will be needed if this offense and defense can get things worked out and the team makes a run toward the playoffs.

1 second, time out, Raiders Yes, players have to play, a coach's job is to put them in a position to succeed, but you also have to teach them how to make good decisions, and they are not making smart decisions. Lamar runs down field, pitches it to Hill who tries to throw it, toward to Staney, game over

Time out Vegas 3rd and 10 Throws deep right sideline to Likely who leaps to catch it, defender hits him ball falls out

It comes down to bad decisions by the players, by the coaches Lamar fires over the middle to Andrews for 11, spikes the ball 14 seconds Cheese and crackers, he holds the ball and scrambles then throws it away 7 seconds

27 seconds

I know, game 2, but this team is too talented to be 0-2, Tucker missing field goals, no one can cover in the secondary Field goal is good, 26-23 Raiders

Run up the middle for 2, Ravens use their last time out. This was a coaching loss. Personnel use, play calls on offense and defense. Run off of the right for 5, 3rd down. Raiders were 0-49 when trailing by 10 in the 4th. Run to the right, no gain 4th down, under a minute now. Should be a 30 some odd number field goal for the win

Minshew over the middle for 12 2 min warning

Run up the middle for 8 Ravens call a time put with 2:12 left. Sure would be nice to have all 3 time outs here. This game was lost by coaching

Punt Stout kicks it short, real short, 24 yards, wow after the penalty, 19 yards.. game, set, match

Draw to Hill on 2nd and 19, gets nothing 3rd and 19 All day to throw, hits Hill on. Check down for 3 yards, yippie

Henry in, no olay fake, Crosby in untouched flattens Lamar

3:54 left Touchback

Coverage was supposed to be this teams strength, well, it appears to be the team's biggest weakness

Minshew with a quick strike to Adams off of the play fake, touchdown. Humph beat Bogus pi call, bogus Tie game

Minshew fires to the wndzone, Stephens in coverage, both pushing and shoving, Stephens called. 1st and goal from the 1

Minshew fires quickly, Adams not ready, incomplete 4:36 2nd and goal VanNoy with another sack!

Humph blew the coverage 3rd and 5 Simpson on Bowers, beat, 11 yards, 1st and goal

Minshew over the short middle to Bowers for 5 At the Ravens 20 All out blitz luckily Adams drops it

7:36 Minshew deep down the left side, ball drops right in the hands of Adams, Stephens beat like a drum for 29 Swing pass to the right, missed tackle in the back field, then stopped for 1 yard Bowers wide open again for 13,

3rd and 6 again Hill in Lamar tries to hit Flowers over the middle, it is knocked down Punt fair caught at the Raider 30

Henry still in Lamar keeps it and is taken down for a loss of one. Looked real awkward 3rd and 6 Off sides on Vegas, 3rd and 1 Henry in Tush push for Kolar, false start on Henry

Kick off deep in the endzone, Kelly returns it, sadly, to the 20 Henry to the right, drags defenders for 5 yards

10:14 from the 6 Pass over the middle incomplete Run up the middle for a gain of 3 3rd and goal 3 of 9 on 3rd downs today Minshew chased by VanNoy to his right, no one open, throws it away. Great goal line stand 23-16 Ravens 9:21 left

Minshew scrambles left, hits Adams along the sidelines, who tip toes and falls out of bounds Harbs challenges it Once again, appears to be a bad challange
