Raiders Fire OC Luke Getsy Following Blowout Loss to Bengals, 2-7 Start to Season

Las Vegas' Offensive Struggles Continue

The Las Vegas Raiders have fired offensive coordinator Luke Getsy following a 34-point loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The Raiders are now 2-7 on the season, with their offense struggling to find consistency.

Getsy was hired by the Raiders in January 2022 after spending the previous two seasons as the quarterbacks coach for the Green Bay Packers. He was tasked with improving the Raiders' offense, which ranked near the bottom of the NFL in several key metrics last season.

However, the Raiders' offense has continued to struggle under Getsy. The team is averaging just 16.1 points per game, which is 30th in the NFL. They are also averaging just 285.1 yards per game, which is 29th in the league.

Getsy's Firing Not Surprising

Getsy's firing is not surprising considering the Raiders' poor offensive performance. The team has scored more than 20 points just once this season, and they have been held to 10 points or less three times.

The Raiders' offensive struggles have been particularly evident in the passing game. Quarterback Derek Carr has thrown for just 1,933 yards this season, with 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He has also been sacked 15 times.

Raiders' Future Uncertain

The Raiders' future is now uncertain following Getsy's firing. The team has a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, but they have not been able to put it together on a consistent basis.

The Raiders will need to find a new offensive coordinator who can help Carr and the offense reach their potential. They will also need to improve their defense, which has allowed 27.1 points per game this season.

Conclusion

The Raiders' firing of Luke Getsy is a sign that the team is desperate to turn things around. The Raiders have a lot of talent on their roster, but they need to find a way to put it all together. If they can't, they could be in for another long season.
