Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce appears to be losing patience with his offense, at least in its current form.
On Wednesday, Pierce issued a stern message to Raiders offensive coordinator Luke Getsy as the team’s offensive struggles persist. Pierce emphasized that the offense’s issues are a shared responsibility rather than solely Getsy’s, but he made it clear he expects more from his coordinator.

“Yeah, I think it has to get better,” Pierce said of Getsy’s play-calling, according to Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk. “We’ve had a lot of chances to score and create opportunities. And, yeah, that’s on the play-caller. But like I told our staff and players, it’s on all of us. It’s easy to just point at Luke, or at me, but you also look at O-line play, quarterbacks, running backs, turnovers, missed blocks, missed executions on plays, alignments on details — all of that needs fixing.
“So yes, it starts with the coordinator. He has to take the blame and lead that improvement, but it’s a team effort.”
Despite these remarks, it’s not exactly a vote of confidence for Getsy, who wasn’t even the Raiders’ first pick for the role.
With the Raiders ranking in the bottom ten in points scored and total yards, and facing a tough quarterback situation, Getsy may only have so much control over the team’s offensive potential.
