The Las Vegas Raiders were expected to turn things around during the 2025 NFL season, as Pete Carroll and John Spytek were ushering in a new era for the Silver and Black. Oh, and minority owner Tom Brady was the franchise's ace in the hole.
Most of these moves, along with the addition of Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator and Geno Smith as quarterback, were highly praised during the offseason. But things have been a dumpster fire this year, as the team has seemingly been worse than they were in 2024.
There is plenty of blame to go around for the Raiders' shortcomings, as everyone from the front office to the coaching staff to the players has helped create this mess.
