Growing Pains: Raiders Lose a Close One to the Chiefs, 30-27

The Raiders' 3-0 start is a distant memory after looking helpless vs. the Patriots. With a brutal schedule on deck, can Coach Kubiak and his staff bring the good vibes back to Las Vegas? Plus: thoughts on Fernando Mendoza's NFL debut. 

A lot went wrong for the Raiders on Sunday: questionable coaching decisions, no forced turnovers, and no run game to speak of. But they still lost by just 3 points. What does it all mean? Especially with a brutal schedule on deck? 

The Raiders are playing out of their minds and Luke and Larry rejoice. However, pitfalls may lie ahead. How can Vegas keep the momentum going? 

The Raiders continued their culture shift by winning a tough game in LA -- with no run game to speak of. With a new look defense and Kubiak calling shots on offense, how good can Vegas be this year?

The Raiders won their Week 1 matchup, just like last season. Will this year be any different than that dreadful 2025 campaign? 

The 2026 NFL Draft is all over, and the Raiders got their guy. Can Fernando Mendoza help the Raiders return to greatness? Plus: Tom Brady and Pizza Hut, WTF is happening in the secondary, and second-year Spytek guys who have to step up. 

The Raiders had a dreadful season, and coach Pete Carroll was fired. But the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, and a potential franchise QB, awaits. Can a part-time, part-owner Tom Brady right the ship this offseason? 

It's been a minute since Luke and Larry were on The RIPP. They discuss the Pete Carroll/Chip Kelly controversy, the upcoming NFL draft, whether Tom Brady can fix his mess, and more. 

The Raiders (2-9) suffered a big loss to another struggling team, the Browns, 24-10. Is this the worst the Raiders squad in the Las Vegas era? Plus, we rip Mark Davis for not trying. 

The Raiders showed improvement over their last game but still lost to the Jaguars, 30-29, in overtime. Is the return of Brock Bowers enough to fuel optimism in Las Vegas?
