The Raiders are in midst of their first loss in the 2023 NFL regular season.

Josh Allen and the Bills had a field day against the Raiders, throwing for three touchdowns through three quarters in a 28-10 lead.

The Bills won 38-10.

The lack of performance by the Raiders brought ire to fans who saw lack of pressure by the Raiders defense and no run protection for Josh Jacobs.

It was a lost day for the Raiders after spending a few days in West Virginia.

Another fan is tired seeing the Raiders struggle even after opening the season with a win over the Denver Broncos.

Raiders star pass rusher Maxx Crosby was double teamed at the beginning of the game and got no help on the other side, whether it’s Malcolm Koonce or rookie Tyree Wilson.

One fan is fed up with Wilson.

Another fan said he can basically have a stress-free day for the rest of Sunday.

Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow is healthy and was a non-factor for a second straight week. He caught a pass late in the fourth quarter.

But a Giants fan hopes the Raiders make a trade with New York once again. The Raiders sent Darren Waller to the Giants earlier this year.

One fan is keeping hope in the Raiders heading into Week 3 at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

But the frustration continues to lie with the Raiders defense, which couldn’t generate any pressure on Allen.

Fans hope there’s change next week.
