Following their disappointing loss to the Carolina Panthers, Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce faces questions about his team’s performance. While not singling out any individual, Pierce expressed concerns about the team’s overall effort and execution.
The usually potent Raiders offense struggled to find its rhythm, with quarterback Gardner Minshew unable to consistently connect with his receivers. Defensively, the Raiders struggled to contain the Panthers’ balanced attack, surrendering over 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing.
With a 1-2 record, the Raiders will aim to regroup and address these issues before their upcoming matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
