Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders fall to the New York Giants as the season continues to unravel, putting the Raiders firmly in the conversation for the #1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Lincoln Kennedy, Q Myers, & Shantelle Chand break down the Raiders vs Giants recap, Geno Smith’s performance and what a potential high ankle sprain means for the quarterback position moving forward. With Geno likely sidelined, the crew debates who should start next week and whether Raiders fans could see Aidan O’Connell take the field. The discussion also turns to Maxx Crosby being placed on IR, whether it was the right move for the franchise, and if the Raiders should even consider trading their star pass rusher as part of a full reset. Finally, the panel dives into the importance of securing the #1 overall pick, what position the Raiders should target given their many roster needs, and what the future of this team really looks like. Plus, live questions and comments with Linc & Q.

We're also going to be talking a little bit about Max Crosby because we know that he shut down for the rest of the season. Not too happy with that decision. So we're going to break that all down. But first, we got to get into everything that we saw with the Raiders and Giants. The Raiders got smacked again, 34 to 10. And this was another blowout. But in hindsight, a lot of Raider fans did not want the Raiders to win this one. I'm not going to lie. I was one of them because that number one overall pick was in line.

2:34.9

But I'm not going to sit here and lie. Even the Raiders losing, I was still upset on Sunday

2:39.1

because of how they lost. But nonetheless, first I want to say Q the Tupac, like background,

2:46.4

like the record, the platinum record. That's great. I just saw that right now. I thought that

2:50.3

was, that's a new

2:51.0

addition for you yes yes yes yeah it looks great so q studios you know just always making everything

2:57.1

look good um but nonetheless the raiders lose to the giants and we'll go to you first uh cue

3:02.7

what were your thoughts on just how they lost and how they looked on it sunday what were takeaways? It was gross. I mean, to be honest, it was really gross. I was sitting in the in the press box. And I didn't know what to expect in the game. You have no marks Max Crosby. You have no Brock Bowers. I just didn't know what the motivation was going to be, what the leadership was going to look like. And this is coming off the heels of a game that they played really competitively against the Texans. So I thought going into the game, and this is before we knew that Max was going to be shut down, if they play like they play against Houston, they're going to beat the Giants. I just straight up thought that they were going to be better than that. And just the way that they came out and the way that it really started slow, both teams just kind of back and forth putting the ball and you know and then also gino has a little success until he doesn't right and then

3:44.2

there's the interception that you're way that it really started slow both teams just kind of back and forth putting the ball and

3:41.0

you know and then also gino has a little success until he doesn't right and then there's the interception that i thought was the easy pick six that turned into be something difficult you know and i was like what is going on with this game the whole game felt weird and then the giants just you know put the the the vice grips on the raiders and uh the the the raiders defenders there was green grass in front of them the whole time.

3:59.1

It just, I kept looking up and one, looking at the class. put the vice grips on the Raiders and the Raiders defenders. There was greengrass in front of them the whole time.

3:59.1

It just I kept looking up and one looking at the clock saying, man, how long is this game taken? And once the Giants score 14 points, I knew it was over because well, the Raiders don't score usually more than 14 points. So I thought it's a wrap. But it just looked really bad. it was a real bad performance by a team that's not a very good team as they only have two wins
