The Las Vegas Raiders currently hold a 4-12 record with one game remaining in the 2024 regular season. Apart from their recent performances, the team has struggled to build a winning culture. Head coach Antonio Pierce discussed the factors behind the disappointing season, mentioning that bad luck played a significant role. He explained to the media that luck is a crucial factor in determining a season’s outcome. “You always want luck,” Pierce said. “You always want the ball to bounce your way. We just weren’t lucky enough this year.”
Pierce’s position has been under scrutiny due to the team’s challenges, with many in Raider Nation calling for his departure. One of the main reasons for this is his recent comments expressing that he’s not focused on the team’s long-term future but is solely aiming to win games now. However, this mindset has hurt the Raiders, as they’ve dropped to the eighth pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after briefly holding the number one spot. As a result, the team will likely miss out on top quarterback prospects like Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward, who are expected to be selected in the top five picks.
