Raiders quarterback Derek Carr’s inability to be impactful when facing pressure became undeniable Sunday in his team’s 26-15 loss to the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

Which,Authentic Leonard Williams Jersey, would be close to impossible at this point if the QB can’t get over this (seemingly) mental hurdle.

The Raiders’ offensive coordinator always answers questions respectfully, thoughtfully and without stark changes in emotion during his weekly Thursday press conference. But this team knows time is running out, and it has showed in recent responses from its two most influential offensive minds.

First Derek Carr displayed more frustration Sunday than any other time this season after a 26-15 loss in Kansas City. On Thursday, Downing seemed irritated by a question probing why the Raiders preferred a bevy of short passes to begin the final drive against the Chiefs,Womens Lorenzo Mauldin Jersey, with Oakland trailing by 11 and under three minutes remaining.

but ask Downing the same question earlier in the season and he likely wouldn’t begin with a retort.,Womens Darron Lee Jersey,That’s certainly a fair answer

Downing has reason to be irritated about this season, given the Raiders’ drop-off in total yards per game compared to last year. Former Raiders’ offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave commandeered a unit in 2016 that ranked sixth in the NFL with 373.3 yards per game. Oakland has slipped to 19th in the league this season, averaging almost 44 fewer yards per contest at 329.4.

After Jack Del Rio’s questionable decision to fire Musgrave after the Raiders’ breakout 2016, the pressure rested on Downing to validate the head coach’s decision. It’s tough to say it was the right call so far, though nobody can say for certain whether a Musgrave-run offense – or one directed by someone else – would’ve fared better.

Carr hasn’t been nearly as proficient as a year ago. Blame rightfully lies on him, too. Some even questioned how much influence Carr had in Musgrave’s firing, Womens Jordan Jenkins Jersey,which can be perceived as a knock on Carr given the result.

Before the Raiders hosted the Broncos three weeks ago – Musgrave is now Denver’s offensive coordinator – Carr shot down any notion that this year’s offensive shortcomings resulted from the coordinator change.

“When we went and played at Denver (in Week 4), I went straight to him, gave him a hug, talked to him, asked him how his boys were doing,” Carr said of Musgrave. “That’s definitely the farthest thing from the truth that me and Coach Musgrave didn’t like each other.”

Asked if the Musgrave-to-Downing switch had factored in Oakland’s struggles through 11 weeks, Carr firmly said, “Absolutely not. Nope.”

On Monday, Del Rio affirmed on 95.7 that Downing won’t be fired before season’s end. Yet one must wonder what Del Rio will do with Downing after this season, especially if the Raiders miss the playoffs, if the head coach fired his offensive coordinator after going 12-4.

Before that decision, though, and before Sunday’s must-win game against the Cowboys, the Raiders have given themselves a hard look in the mirror.

“To me, you have to own up, look, it’s about getting ready for the next one. Whether we’re being praised or we’re being attacked,” Del Rio said Wednesday. “Tuesday is that day of the week for us to kind of own up and move forward. We’ve done that. For us,Womens Devin Smith Jersey, that doesn’t matter. That’s just the noise on the outside, but inside the building we’re being very purposeful of getting back to work.”
