Minshew left the game in the fourth quarter after being sacked by Cody Barton and Jonathon Cooper. Desmond Ridder finished the game at quarterback for the Raiders, completing five of his 10 passing attempts for 64 yards and a 70.4 passer rating.
Las Vegas will now have to decide between Ridder and 2023 fourth-rounder Aidan O’Connell as their starting quarterback next week. O’Connell is still on injured reserve after a broken thumb suffered in October, but he is eligible to return this week. He is likely the team’s preferred choice – the Raiders only signed Ridder after O’Connell’s injury – but his original return timeline was expected to be four to six weeks.

Well, a little bit.
Okay, it won't make any difference. But I'm trying to be nice here.
on the contrary he was proven to be our best tank driver
if AOC starts against you guys there’s a solid chance he will screw around and beat you, again. As much as I won’t be torn up about the Raiders beating the Chiefs, it’s more ideal to not right now. [Reply]
Minshew avoids a much more severe beatdown coming this Friday. Good on him. Another year of failure for the faiders. silver & black gonna die Friday. RIP. [Reply]

They’ll probably play us deep into the 4th and we’ll squeak one out like this week [Reply]
After this week, I'm a firm believer in the "Any given Sunday" stuff. I mean, the Raiders are toast. They hate us. They would love nothing more than to beat the Chiefs in our house like last year.
There are no gimme's with the Chiefs. We are better than most any team we play, but that doesn't mean we can't lose.
We better be ready for these fuckers on Friday. [Reply]

I don't expect a blowout, but Ridder is far worse than the typical back up who steps in and has a game or two honeymoon. If this isn't a get right game for the defense, I'll be pretty surprised. [Reply]
