The dropped to 2-6 with a lo s in Week 9 in Jacksonville, which followed a similar script. They jumped out to a big lead but fell apart late. It was their third lo s after leading by 17 or more points this season, already tying an NFL single-season mark of futility.You can point fingers in a lot of places, including Josh McDaniels, but I'll start with one of the best QB-WR duos in the NFL. was 10-for-10 for 146 yards, two touchdowns and a perfect 158.3 pa ser rating targeting in the first three quarters in Week 9. Then it all fell apart.Adams caught 0-of-7 targets in the fourth quarter. It was the most targets without a catch by any player in any quarter of a game since 2003 when Isaac Bruce also went 0-of-7 in the fourth quarter.

So it's been nearly two decades, 19 years to be exact, since a receiver caught 0-of-7 targets in a quarter. Consider between those goose eggs there's been 713 instances of a player getting seven targets in a quarter, including playoffs.That seems to be just the tip of the iceberg for the former college teammates. Carr has completed just 8-of-29 pa ses to Adams in the fourth quarter and overtime this season. That is the worst completion rate (27.6%) among any duo in the NFL through 8 games in the last 5 seasons. That's among 397 duos with 10 pa s attempts. In just the final three minutes of regulation they are 0-for-12. I repeat. 0-for-12.It's not like they are struggling the rest of the game. They've connected on over 70 percent of their pa ses in the first three Alex Iafallo Women Jersey quarters, good for a 132.2 pa ser rating.

Carr is 3-for-17 (17.6%) targeting Adams in the fourth quarter and overtime of those games.So what's going on? I watched all 29 of their late-game pa ses this year and have come to this conclusion: There's not one glaring i sue, but a multitude, and they are so close to clicking. Here's a look at those i sues:Pre sure: Carr has been pre sured on 45 percent of his pa ses to Adams in the fourth quarter and overtime, up from 25 percent through three quarters. He had Adams open for a big chunk on Sunday, but pre sure in his face caused this throw to be off, ever so slightly.Off-target: Even when he isn't pre sured, Carr has been uncharacteristically off, like this mi s on the run to a wide-open Adams in the same game.Miscommunication: Despite their time together at Fresno State, Carr and Adams apparently don't share a Nick Shore Jersey telepathic relationship. Carr expected Adams to be ready for this back-shoulder fade on 3rd-and-2, but they weren't on the same page.Just a tick off: As this throw (a completion overturned by replay) against the proved, it's a game of inches and they might just be a tick off, or one play away from finding a groove.When explaining Sunday's frustrating collapse, Adams seemed to point to the coaching staff. "The way we were attacking in the first half, it was working Tobias Rieder Jersey ," Adams said. "We got away from that and started playing the game a little different."McDaniels may eventually be the one who falls on the sword, but it's hard to ignore the staggering numbers above. Carr and Adams are the second-highest-paid QB-WR duo in the NFL (behind and ), making $68.5M combined per year. The Raiders gave both big contracts this offseason and traded a first- and second-round pick to acquire Adams and reunite the best friends. They hitched their wagon to the pair and so far the wheels are falling off. They are putting up some of the worst crunch-time numbers in the league. Whatever the reason for those struggles, the Raiders desperately need better production down the stretch from their star duo. The pre sure will only mount on this pair to produce as they are placing two Pro Bowl pa s catchers on IR, tight end and wide receiver .
