Defense is getting tired

OAKLAND – Don’t let the nice words fool you.

The Raiders defense is mad.

Though they won’t say it publicly, defenders said off the record it’s almost impossible to win with the way the offense is playing.

And they’re angry Chris Carr, one of the better guys on the team, will be blamed for the loss for getting beat for the game-winning touchdown.

Mention the offense to defenders off the record, and expletives are used to describe it.

This when Lane Kiffin’s job gets really tough. He was brought in to fix the offense. He better do it soon or he’ll have to fix a locker room chasm, too.
