The Las Vegas Raiders have been the NFL's worst team during the 2025 NFL season, as they sit at 2-14 despite entering the year with playoff aspirations. Things have not worked out the way that head coach Pete Carroll envisioned, and there is plenty of blame to go around for the nightmare campaign.
Carroll shoulders plenty of the blame for his reluctance to focus on player development when it was clear the team was not ready to compete. Meanwhile, the offensive line and Geno Smith also hold some blame for their atrocious play throughout the year.
First-year general manager John Spytek also deserves part of the blame for the Raiders' poorly constructed roster, even though his shortcomings have been largely underblown or flown under the radar.
