Over the first two months of the NFL season, no head coach has gotten ripped more than Nathaniel Hackett of the Denver Broncos. Not even Matt Rhule, and the Carolina Panthers already fired him.
Well, let's take a look at the bottom of the AFC West standings after Week 8, shall we?
Hackett's Denver Broncos: 3-5
Josh McDaniels' Las Vegas Raiders: 2-5
Maybe we need to shift at least some of the Hackett jokes and slander to McDaniels, who is having a bad time of it in his second go-around as a head coach. If we go by record, Hackett has been better than McDaniels this season. You just haven't heard as much about how bad McDaniels has been.
The Raiders were listless Sunday in a 24-0 loss against a New Orleans Saints team that came in with a 2-5 record and was without receivers Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry, and standout cornerback Marshon Lattimore. The Raiders trailed 17-0 at halftime and showed no signs of life.
