Miserable Raiders QB Derek Carr breaks down in TEARS and says he’s “p***** off” after the team fell to 2-7 after the Colts loss and lashes out at his teammates for “wishing.” that everyone feels the same” … but insists he loves coach Josh McDaniels
The Las Vegas Raiders quarterback let his emotions wash over him in his post-game press conference after breaking down and expressing frustration at his team’s loss.
The Las Vegas Raiders, entering the game 2-6, lost to an Indianapolis Colts team that fired their head coach and replaced him with an ESPN analyst who had no experience coaching the college game, let alone the NFL.
With former Colts center Jeff Saturday as interim head coach and first-time playcaller Parks Frazier leading the offense, Indianapolis embarrassed the Raiders to a 25-20 record in Vegas.

That loss put more pressure on Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels and his team, who are bottom in a competitive AFC West division. That pressure seemed to take its toll on the quarterback, who let his emotions run free after the game ended.
“Sorry to be emotional. I’m just mad at some of the things a lot of us try to do just to practice. What we put our bodies through just to sleep at night. ‘ Carr said in his press conference following a 25-20 loss to the Colts.
“And that this is the result of all that effort pisses me off – pisses off a lot of guys. It’s hard to know what some guys do – like I said – just to practice what they put into their bodies just to sleep at night. That’s the only way we can be there for each other.

“And I wish everyone in this room felt the same way about this place. And as a leader, if I’m being honest, that pisses me off.”
Carr completed 24 of 38 passes for 248 yards and two touchdowns, with 126 yards going to former Fresno State teammate Devante Adams.
