It took 59 years, but the Raiders might have finally hit rock bottom as a franchise. 
In a 2018 season that's already been a nightmare for the Raiders, things officially turned into an unmitigated disaster on Thursday as Oakland got blown out of Levi's Stadium in a 34-3 loss to the 49ers
Even though the Raiders have been bad this season, this was a game they were supposed to be able to win. Not only were they playing a 1-7 49ers team (now 2-7), but they were going up against a second-year quarterback who was making the first start of his NFL career. Oh, and the game was being played just 40 miles from Oakland, which meant that roughly half the people in the stadium were there to cheer for the Raiders. 
It also meant that roughly half the stadium went home depressed after another embarrassing outing from a team that looks like it's given up on Jon Gruden. It's not easy to lose the locker room just nine weeks into your first season, but it's starting to look like that's what's happening in Oakland.
This game had everything we've come to expect from the 2018 Raiders. You want Gruden getting frustrated with Derek Carr? We've got that
Although Gruden has insisted that he won't be trading Carr anytime soon, you have to wonder about the state of their relationship, especially when you consider that they seem to get upset with each other every game. Of course, Gruden had plenty of legitimate reasons to get upset in San Francisco, and that's because Carr struggled with his decision-making all night. 
For instance, Carr got sacked seven times against the Niners, but it's hard to blame the offensive line for all of those. At least two of the sacks appeared to be Carr's fault, including the one you see below, where Carr basically ran into the defender for a five-yard loss.
