Is Raiders coach Dennis Allen done in Oakland?

Dennis Allen and (currently) his Oakland Raiders are down and possibly already out. The question now is, when is he out?

While it may be a little early in the season for Raider Nation to request his head on a stake, Raiders owner Mark Davis cannot be happy with the disappointing 0-2 start his team is off to.

Oakland looked like a junior college team in their 30-14 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday as the defense was a no-show and Derek Carr beginning to look like a rookie quarterback at times.

“[This] can’t happen anymore,” Davis told the San Jose Mercury News.

Oakland looked like, and was supposed to make strides forward in 2014.

Instead, the team has regressed… drastically.

“We suck,” veteran safety Charles Woodson said in the locker room after the game. “That’s as blunt as I can put it.”

He’s not wrong one bit. The Raiders flat out suck right now.

They can’t run the ball consistently, cannot throw the ball consistently and cannot even decently defend a junior college or semi-pro offense right now.

Need evidence? Texans defensive end J.J. Watt scored on the Raiders goal line defense.

Whatever glimmer of hope and light that we were all supposed to see has been eclipsed by the poor play of the Raiders.

“The mistakes are correctable,” Woodson added. “But we said that last week. How long do we get to say mistakes are correctable before we get to a point where we realize that they are not (being corrected)? I don’t know. Are they correctable? Yeah. But when do they get corrected?”

Oakland’s defense did not recorded a sack against the Texans, ending their 23-game streak where they recorded at least one sack, has also allowed 400 rushing yards in two games (212 to the Jets, 188 to the Texans) and have allowed quarterbacks to get too comfortable in the pocket,completing just under 80 percent of their passes.

“I’m embarrassed for this team. I’m embarrassed for these fans. And the thing about it is, I’m part of it. I don’t know what we need to do as a team going forward. I know something is going to have to be done.”

If Allen couldn’t get this team past the Jets and/or the Texans, how are they supposed to come even close to beating New England on Sunday, let alone Miami in London the week after, or anyone after their bye week?  Remember, the schedule doesn’t get any easier for the Raiders going forward.

He can’t get veterans like Justin Tuck, Lamarr Woodley and Carlos Rogers to play like the players they were when they were part of successful teams like the Giants, Steelers and 49ers, respectively. He can’t get offensive coordinator Greg Olsen (someone else that’s got to go) Maurice Jones-Drew or Darren McFadden to run the ball effectively, or even to put together an efficient offensive line.

The Raiders need another change, whether it’s firing Allen late or after the season or even something as small as taking away defensive coordinator Jason Tarver’s defensive playcalling duties.

But the biggest change has to be the attitude of the front office. Mark Davis and general manager Reggie McKenzie have to put their foot down on everyone, coaches and players alike, and let them know that losing will not be tolerated, period. If the losing continues, they need to let everyone know that changes will be made.

The media has had the Raiders as the worst team in the league entering the season. They were “All In” to prove everyone wrong.

So far in eight football quarters, they’ve proved everyone right.
