There will be no repeat with Jon Gruden this . Jersey

The last time an Oakland Raiders coach watched his team lose back-to-back games when leading after three quarters Cheap Khalil Mack Jersey , late owner Al Davis brought out the overhead projector and fired Lane Kiffin.There will be no repeat with Jon Gruden this week, even if that doesn't ease the pain of these late-game collapses in Oakland.The Raiders became the second team in the past 20 seasons to start the year with three straight losses after leading the first three games at halftime with the latest blown lead coming Sunday in Miami when Oakland lost 28-20 to the Dolphins."Nobody cares right now. They want results," Gruden said Monday. "We want to win. I think the players see a lot of things to be confident about, but we know we got to finish football games much better."The Raiders (0-3) have spent most of this season playing from ahead, holding the lead for nearly two-thirds of the time and trailing for only 22:28 over the first three games. In fact, there hasn't been a single second played in the first three quarters of any game this season with Oakland behind on the scoreboard.But the fourth quarter has been an utter disaster. The Raiders fell behind the Rams in the opener on the final play of the third quarter and then were outscored 13-0 in the fourth thanks in part to two interceptions by Derek Carr.Oakland then was outscored 10-0 in the fourth quarter in a Week 2 loss at Denver before falling apart late again in Miami on Sunday. Carr threw another costly interception and the Raiders let Miami turn two gimmick plays into long touchdowns that have kept Gruden winless in his second stint as Raiders head coach."We've got to take a deep breath and look forward to the moment," Gruden said. "We have to apply pressure, not to say we feel pressure. We've got to continue to remain confident and poised and do our jobs individually, so we can do our job collectively. I think at times we have some guys trying to do too much. That's something we really have to solve quickly. We do have good enough players to finish."This marked the first time since Kiffin's final two games in 2008 that the Raiders lost consecutive games when leading after three quarters. They joined the 2011 Minnesota Vikings as the only teams in the past 20 seasons to start the year 0-3 when leading all three games at halftime.Oakland has started with the ball each week and all three games have begun with the Raiders scoring and the opposition going three-and-out. That has led to the Raiders outscoring the opponent by 18 points in the first half, tying for seventh best in the league heading into Monday night. But Oakland has been outscored by 47 points in the second half Youth Aaron Lynch Jersey , 22 points behind the next worst team in Arizona.The problems have been in all three phases. The offense has scored TDs on just four of nine red zone trips, committed five turnovers and fallen flat late in games with just one field goal in the fourth quarter all year.Oakland has failed to generate any big returns on kicks or punts and had an extra point blocked in Denver that proved to be the difference in a one-point loss.The defense has allowed three TDs on shovel passes and struggled to generate big plays after trading star edge rusher Khalil Mack. Oakland ranks last in the league with three sacks and tied for last with just one takeaway, contributing to Oakland being the only team that hasn't started a drive this season in the opponent's territory."It's a big reason why field position is what it is," Gruden said. "Really a turnover is getting a three-and-out, too. Getting a three-and-out, getting the ball back immediately can almost be as good as a turnover. We need some of those and we need to get the ball back, whether we intercept it or strip it away."NOTES: K Mike Nugent has an injured hip and the Raiders are bringing in kickers for tryouts this week in case he can't play. ... S Karl Joseph has an injured hamstring and will likely miss at least one game. ... RT Donald Penn has concussion symptoms but Gruden said he thinks he'll be OK. Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy understands the temptation to compare, given the way his present and past quarterbacks are performing.Mitchell Trubisky and Patrick Mahomes were top 10 selections in the same class and the first two QBs drafted in 2017.But while Trubisky 鈥?the No. 2 overall pick that year 鈥?has turned in two shaky performances for Chicago this season, Mahomes has been lighting it up for Kansas City."Well, what's fair to compare is you have one Youth Allen Robinson II Jersey , in Patrick, who has had a full year in this offense to understand it," Nagy said."Now, regardless of playing in it, he's had a full year, more than a year to sit behind it and learn and understand and watch tape with those quarterbacks last year and get to see all the talk, all the discussions of where you go on this play and that play, whereas Mitchell hasn't had that. He's being forced into this thing right away, and so that's where these growing pains are going to occur."Nagy spoke Tuesday, a day after the Bears beat the Seattle Seahawks to give their coach his first career victory.Trubisky threw touchdown passes on Chicago's first possession and early in the fourth quarter http://www.chicagobearsteamonline.com/kyle-long-jersey , but got intercepted two times by Shaquill Griffin.The offense stalled for large portions of the game, and a defense led by Khalil Mack carried Chicago, sacking Russell Wilson six times.That allowed the Bears to leave Soldier Field with a good feeling after they blew a 20-point lead in a season-opening loss to Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in Green Bay."I'm trying to get over just dwelling on plays too much," Trubisky said. "I think it's hurt me more than it's helped me."So getting over plays and just building on what I did good and forgetting about what I did bad and continuing to improve and get better and learn this offense and Coach keeps saying, it is going to be a process. We want immediate results, but finding ways to win is very important and we did that."But it sure would help if Trubisky started emerging as the franchise quarterback the Bears envisioned him becoming when they traded up a spot with San Francisco to draft him.The organization figured it would take time and was planning to have him mostly watch from the sideline last season with Mike Glennon starting.Of course, it didn't work out that way. Glennon struggled through four games before Trubisky replaced him as the starter.The Bears then spent much of the offseason building around him by hiring an offensive-minded head coach and giving him some new options 鈥?most notably signing former Pro Bowl receiver Allen Robinson away from Jacksonville. But through two games, Trubisky has plenty of room to improve.Trubisky has an 80.0 rating, with a pair of touchdown passes and as many interceptions. Compare that to Mahomes with a 143.3 rating and a league-leading 10 touchdowns with no interceptions.Or maybe don't compare.The fact that Mahomes has a year in the Chiefs' system and isn't learning a new offense again isn't the only difference. He also got what basically amounted to his redshirt year, sitting behind Alex Smith last season."It's easy to compare two people because they were drafted in the same draft Authentic Jordan Howard Jersey , top 10, one ahead of the other," Nagy said. "So those comparisons are easy. But what's real behind that is what I just said. You have one guy that has had plenty of time now to learn it."In the opener against the Packers, Trubisky at times was quick to scramble and abandon plays rather than stay in the pocket. He also couldn't lead the Bears past midfield in the closing minutes when they needed to get into field-goal range.Trubisky thought he did a better job staying in the pocket on Monday night."O-line did a fantastic job all night giving me time when I needed it and just finding those receivers, but they got a good scheme on their side," he said.
