SB Nation Reacts: Raiders fans have a small rise in confidence after losing 4 in a row

Raiders fans must be excited about the draft position that comes with each loss

The Las Vegas Raiders’ season continues to collapse. After the loss to the Chiefs, they fell to 2-6. They have lost four in a row and face a desperate Bengals team on the road, which needs to win themselves.

Antonio Pierce and Luke Getsy have faced scrutiny this week with the squandered possessions and game management. This has led to questions about whether or not the Raiders would look to a different play-caller midseason. However, Pierce has shown confidence in his play-caller and wants better execution from his players.

In this week’s SB Nation Reacts, we asked Raider Nation about their confidence in the team’s direction. Last week, it fell to its lowest of the season, at 14%. Surprisingly, we saw a slight rise to 16% confidence.

Fans must be excited about the draft position and the play of the young players. While it is a low number, it is interesting that it rose the week after losing four in a row.

The Raiders now face the Cincinnati Bengals this week on the road in a must-win game for both teams. The Bengals hope to stay in the AFC North, and the Raiders hope to continue a tumble.
