I won't blame this on Reid. The raiders just got the best of us in this one. We had opportunities to win it. We just dug ourselves too deep early on.

The Raiders lack depth and were getting tired and sloppy on defense. Keep pounding the ball, especially once it was tied, and those runs would have started breaking. Instead, Reid got all pass happy and had to settle for only a 3 point lead that left a lot of time on the clock for the Raiders offense.
