Las Vegas Raiders Look Disconnected on the Field

The Las Vegas Raiders' leadership needs to take control of this team before it’s too late.

Frustration has hit another season-low for the Las Vegas Raiders.

After dropping the game to the Indianapolis Colts at home on Sunday, players are expressing their frustrations on the team’s commitment to win games.

"Just don't got enough guys who are fully bought into that right now. I think people like the idea, but when it's time to execute -- it don't turn out that way," Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams said after the game.

While no one is pointing fingers at anybody just yet, the Silver and Black has shown inconsistent play on both sides of the ball.

Unproductive players have made them look disconnected from the team sport.

The offense has taken some time to move the ball downfield and put points on the board, while the defense has nearly allowed every team to score at least 20 points per game.

The Raiders allowed 415 total yards against the Colts on Sunday, as running back Jonathan Taylor feasted in the running game with 147 rushing yards and a 66-yard touchdown.

Colts quarterback Matt Ryan was benched earlier in the season, but he found himself back in the starting lineup on Sunday and ended up leading his team to a fourth-quarter comeback.

It is clear that this Raiders team is staying on a losing course and as a result is having one of the most disappointing and self-inflicted seasons of all time.

The Raiders need the leadership to get this team together and salvage what they can, and give players who are willing to put the team first a chance to play out the remainder of the season.
