The Raiders season just went from bad to worst. They had the defending Super Bowl champions the Kansas City Chiefs on the roads and let them off the hook. The Raiders were down 19-17 but driving inside Kansas City territory at the 35-yard line. Quarterback Aidan O’Connell was not ready for the snap and it hit him right in his stomach and the Chiefs recovered the fumble to ice the game, giving the Raiders their 10th loss of the season as they fell to 2-10.
Raider fans getting all mad and upset today. Waste of energy. Must be new to all this?
It was all in your faces earlier in the season. Business decisions were made. I’m not going to say the words but if you’re to stupid to understand it then that’s your fault. This is weekly. pic.twitter.com/gV4LyiqxEP

Newly appointed starting quarterback Aidan O’Connell played great and outperformed Patrick Mahomes going 23 of 35 for 340 yards and 2 touchdowns. Compared to Mahomes throwing for 26/46 for 306 yards and 1 touchdown. O’Connell put the Raiders in a position to win the game until his lack of focus at the end of the game cost his team a victory. Unfortunately, this just adds to another disappointing performance as the Raiders seem to not be able to get out of their own way this season. Fans were shocked to see O’Connell perform at a high level on the road.

They barely beat the Raiders with O'Connell, against AIDAN O'CONNELL!!! who has a total of passing yards as same as Caleb Williams this season, or Jayden.
What an ugly performance against a poor Raiders team.
Ifthe NFL is rigged, at leastmake sure the Chiefs play at their best

Did Aidan O’Connell switch jerseys with Mahomes? Dude didn’t even throw for 100 yards in almost all his games this year. I bet his under and now he balls out

#Raiders had 2 TD passes of 30+ yards all season before Aidan O'Connell threw 2 in a span of 3 offensive plays vs Chiefs to take a 17-16 lead

Aidan O'Connell : 23/35 for a career-high 340 yards, 2 TD's & a 116.4 QB Rating (Game-ending lost fumble with 11 seconds left after the Center Andre James snapped the ball while O'Connell wasn't looking) pic.twitter.com/WbMm7rPYqW

Watching Aidan O’Connell do that was like watching Max Jones. See how he made a great throw to Bowers. Then Bowers drops one then he takes like a 15 yards sack and puts his team out of FG range.
That was Mac Jones problem

Fans are frustrated with the season and at this point, have given up hope and are ready for a change. Draft position is on a lot of fans’ minds at this point as the Raiders currently are at the No. 2 spot in the 2025 NFL Draft. Buckle up Raider Nation, this season still isn’t over yet and more results like this are likely to occur.
