Raiders Trade Kirk Cousins: Mendoza Is the Starter

Atomic Punk Media LLC — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 03:18:00 GMT

The Las Vegas Raiders traded Kirk Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings for a third-round pick before the NFL trade deadline, and Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick, will start Sunday at Allegiant Stadium against the Seattle Seahawks. Scott Gulbransen went live after the news broke. He says he told people this morning the trade wouldn't happen, and that he was wrong.

Scott starts with the price. He argues a third-rounder is fair, since the Vikings had no real competition for Cousins, and that the $10 million coming off next year's books and about $66 million in projected cap space (eighth most in the NFL, by his count) belong in the grade. He plays clips of John Spytek saying the move is not a punt on 2026 and Klint Kubiak on Mendoza's accuracy, command of the offense and game-speed reps against the Raiders' own pass rush. He defends Cousins' handling of the situation and says the defense, the run game and the lack of an X receiver are all still problems.

Calls and video drop-ins: Raider Sky on mixed feelings and wishing for a receiver. Tariq in Texas on why there's no perfect time. Christopher in Denver on why Mendoza might have been better off sitting, with the Mahomes and Jordan Love comparisons, and Scott's answer. Bruce from the Philippines on the Raiders tight ends. Phone calls from John in Oroville, California, and Vandy in Minnesota. Scott also takes chat questions on Brock Bowers as a wide receiver, the nose tackle spot and the offensive line.

Mendoza's first start comes against Seattle, then Denver before the bye. Scott says to judge him on his decisions and accuracy, not the win total.

Ridin' w/ the Carpenters, a Las Vegas Raiders Exclusive: A Mind for the Business Side of the NFL

Raiders Defense: Scheme, Roster or Rob Leonard?

Atomic Punk Media LLC — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 09:00:00 GMT

The Raiders lost 38-17 to the 49ers and allowed 30 or more points for the sixth game in a row. Scott says that ties an NFL record, with AP counting the Raiders as the fifth team to do it in a season. It's 214 points over six games, about 35.7 a game, from a defense that started 3-0.

Scott goes through the six games in order: Chiefs, Patriots, Bills, Rams, Jets and 49ers. Then he tests three suspects. The run defense comes first, with 1,171 rushing yards allowed through eight games (31st in the league) and 190 more from San Francisco. Next is Rob Leonard's play calling, including the league's highest Cover 0 rate and a pattern of slow starts. Last is the roster, starting with a 3-4 front and no real nose tackle. He also looks at what Nakobe Dean, Quay Walker and Kwity Paye cost this offseason, about $125 million over three years between them, and why it hasn't shown up yet.

Scott's answer is a split. The run defense looks like a roster and structure problem. The slow starts and the reliance on pressure are on Leonard. He says Leonard deserves the rest of the season, and he also says why he doesn't expect him back next year. Fan calls: Generation X Raider on why he's optimistic about Klint Kubiak, Vandy from Minnesota on the fumbles and Kirk Cousins, Raider Eddie from Denver on the trenches, and Pastor Mike behind bars on starting Fernando Mendoza against Seattle.

The Seahawks come to Allegiant Stadium next, and another 30-point game would make it seven straight.

Raiders Disappoint: Silver and Black Fall in the Bay

Bleav — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 03:06:00 GMT

The Raiders return to the Bay Area but leave with a disappointing 38-17 loss to the 49ers. The defense makes history for all the wrong reasons, while the Silver and Black offense turns the ball over five times. We break down what went wrong and ask the question: Was there anything positive to take away from this performance?
