Fooled repeatedly by the Miami Dolphins’ razzle dazzle Tony Pollard Jersey , the Raiders blew a second-half lead for the third game in a row and lost Sunday, 28-20 .Oakland was outscored 14-3 in the final 7:18, and has been outscored 37-3 in the fourth period this year.“That’s just my responsibility to fix it,” Gruden said.Back on the sideline for the first time in a decade, Gruden has lost seven games in a row. He dropped his final four games with Tampa Bay in 2008.The Raiders have lost their past seven games. They’re 0-3 for the first time since 2014, when they started 0-10.“We have a lot of work to do here,” Gruden said. “We’ll continue to work, and we’ll get this show on the road here hopefully soon.”The Raiders did a lot right against Miami. On a sunny, 90-degree afternoon Noah Fant Jersey , they had a 17-minute advantage in time of possession, and a 25-13 advantage in first downs. They ran 74 plays to 39 for the Dolphins. Derek Carr threw for 345 yards , including 173 to Jordy Nelson.But three trips to the red zone produced only 10 points. Xavien Howard twice intercepted Carr deep in Dolphins territory, and the Raiders were stopped at the Miami 1 on downs.Worst of all, the Raiders gave up two touchdowns on jet sweeps, and another on receiver Albert Wilson’s 52-yard pass to Jakeem Grant. Two of the big plays fueled Miami’s late rally.“Clearly we’re doing a good job at the beginning,” Carr said, “but we can finish in all phases better.”Carr said an 0-3 start is not what he expected, and he feels terrible about it.“Terrible http://www.broncosauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dalton-risner-jersey , but not bad,” he said. “I know how to deal with adversity. You don’t do it by going in the dumps, stop working hard, and give up. That’s what soft people do, and not what this team does.”Running back Marshawn Lynch , who rarely shares his thoughts publicly, said he remains optimistic about the Raiders’ potential.“We’re just like a play away from being the most explosive offense in the league,” Lynch said. “From the outside looking in, it looks terrible. But we know what we have on the inside Drew Lock Jersey , and if we get behind each other, we can turn this around.”They’ll try to start Sunday at home against the Cleveland Browns, another team that knows about losing. The Browns are coming off their first victory since December 2016.___ Running back Frank Gore made it clear in late December that he wanted to extend his homecoming by playing another year with the Dolphins in 2019.The Dolphins’ feeling on the matter has not been revealed. Barry Jackson of the reports that’s because the team is still weighing the prospect of re-signing Gore this offseason.Gore ran 156 times for 722 yards and caught 12 passes for 124 yards before missing the final two games of the year on injured reserve with a foot injury. Bringing Gore, who will be 36 in May, back wouldn’t quite fit with the idea of building for the future that prevails in Miami these days, but he showed he’s productive enough to get time in someone’s backfield.Gore said that he’ll look for somewhere else to play if Miami isn’t interested in a second tour of duty. He’ll be able to start conversations with others a week from now should he remain unsigned for the 2019 season.
