One week after his team overcame a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit to win at Baltimore, Las Vegas coach Antonio Pierce called out the Raiders for a lack of effort in their home opener.
Antonio Pierce - The Canadian PressLAS VEGAS —
“It’s poor, it’s just not good enough,” Pierce said. “The crowd was ready. I appreciate the crowd, everybody showing up, they did their part — we did not.Las Vegas, which never led, allowed more than 21 points twice in nine games after Pierce took over as interim coach last season. The Raiders, who are now 17-18 at Allegiant Stadium, have allowed more than 21 points in all three games this year with Pierce as the full-time coach.
“It’s just the lack of the details on some of the small stuff that we coach every day, that we try to work every day,” safety Tre’von Moehrig said. “Got to get back in there tomorrow and get back to the fundamentals and the basics of what we know how to do.” But Dalton — who replaced the benched Bryce Young — torched a Raiders defense that failed to generate pressure consistently, allowed far too much space for Carolina’s receivers and struggled with poor communication on certain defensive schemes.The Raiders also came into Week 3 having committed a league-low five penalties but were whistled for six infractions against Carolina for 54 yards.
