HENDERSON, Nev. — Raiders coach Antonio Pierce used a profanity Monday morning to describe the season's first half, but with a week off to contemplate all that went wrong, his attention turns to finding hope over his team's final eight games.

After five straight losses leading to a 2-7 record this season, the Raiders have taken drastic action. Sunday night they fired OC Luke Getsy after just nine game with the team and also let go of two other members of the offensive staff.

Here we go again. Back to the Raiders being in limbo at the QB position. In the third quarter of Sunday's game, looking at a 31-10 deficit, the Raiders pulled starter Gardner Minshew in favor of Desmond Ridder.
