In defense of Allen (gulp)

A weak take based on facts. And yours is repeating the laziest of lazy takes with the Raiders being a dumpster fire - despite being a .500 or better club before and after he left.

You think the Raiders shouldve given 4-12, 4-12, 0-4 more time. Thats the weak take, 8-28 wouldve doomed anyone.

Matt Rhule just went 5-11, 5-12 and 1-4 (11-27) and got the axe. DA got the axe in the 4th game of his 3rd season, Rhule got it in the 5th game of his 3rd season and had 3 more wins.

More facts.

Looks like a dumpster fire to me. In 12 years they were 3rd in the division 6 times. The other 6 they were 4th. Not one coach lasted 3 years.
Facts. But I suspect that you only care about the facts that fit your agenda.
