'Unmitigated Disaster' for Raiders as McDaniels Mocked for Losing to Saturday, Colts

The Las Vegas Raiders lost to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in a game that had an interim head coach.

The Colts defeated the Raiders 25-20 with the help of Jeff Saturday's high school coaching experience. Las Vegas has a 2-7 record this season.

Prior to being hired to replace Frank Reich, Saturday had worked as an analyst. The team didn't have an experienced play- caller on its coaching staff when Saturday took over.

Indianapolis had an identity on both sides of the ball when it came to the run game. The Colts ran for 207 yards while limiting the Raiders to 77. Jonathan Taylor had a touchdown and ran for over 150 yards.

The Raiders lost to the Colts on Sunday in their first-ever head coach game.

The #Raiders are going to lose, 25-20, to the Jeff Saturday-led Colts at home and fall to 2-7.

This is an unmitigated disaster for Josh McDaniels and everyone associated with the franchise.

Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA

Jeff Saturday > Josh McDaniels

Rodger Sherman @rodger

Jeff Saturday beating Josh McDaniels proves that the only thing worse than hiring with absolutely zero coaching experience is hiring someone with experience coaching under Bill Belichick

Lol Raiders just lost to a coach plucked off the streets less than a week ago.

Josh McDaniels ain’t it.

Antwan V. Staley @antwanstaley

Jeff Saturday came off the street and beat the Raiders. Embarrassing

Sam Farmer @LATimesfarmer

Colts at Raiders pits a coach totally in over his head versus Jeff Saturday.

Nick Baumgardner @nickbaumgardner

rrrrrrough L for Josh McDaniels 😬

Andrew Perloff @andrewperloff

This is not a good look for Josh McDaniels.

Josh Dubow @JoshDubowAP

Josh McDaniels has lost 24 of his last 31 games as an NFL head coach. #Raiders

Mike Vorkunov @MikeVorkunov

Maybe everyone focusing on how unlikable Josh McDaniels was in his first time as a head coach actually gave him cover for how bad of a coach he is https://t.co/VK4kobscal

Michael David Smith @MichaelDavSmith

Jeff Saturday is out-coaching Josh McDaniels.

Tommy Smokes @TomScibelli

Jeff Saturday is already a better head coach than Josh McDaniels

lindsey ok @lindseyyok

If the Raiders lose to Jeff Saturday, we can expect Josh McDaniels to get canned right?

Baby Bash @BabyBash

Maaan You can’t lose to Jeff Saturday on a Sunday and NOT get fired on a Monday!!

After the acquisition of Davante Adams, the Raiders were expected to be a more competitive team. The team's offense hasn't clicked, the defense hasn't been strong, and the Raiders may be in danger of losing their head coach just nine games into his tenure.

Las Vegas will look to rebound when it plays the Denver Broncos next week.
