Yes, I did just reference two separate comedy classics. After the Raiders' loss to the Jaguars, their fans could use a laugh or two.

After losing to Jacksonville, the Raiders currently sit at 6-8 on the season. Considering both the Steelers and Titans currently sit at 8-6, Oakland has absolutely zero room for error moving forward. A single victory or tie by either Pittsburgh or Tennessee over the final two weeks of the regular season would eliminate the Raiders, as would a single loss or tie in either of their two final games against the Chargers and Broncos, both of which are on the road.
Even if the Raiders won out while both the Steelers and Titans lost out, that wouldn't necessarily guarantee a playoff berth for Oakland, as both the Colts and Browns currently sit ahead of the Raiders in the AFC playoff hunt.
