Sunday the Raiders hit five straight losses, more than their previous four-game losing streak earlier in the season, dropping them to 2-9 on the season. Only this time it was to another two-win team, the Cleveland Browns. Let's read the tea leaves and see what it says about the team the Raiders put on the field.

1. Wide receiver
Jack Bech is still barely seeing the field. The second round rookie saw just nine snaps, fourth among receivers on the team. It's rather odd that he is so far behind in the offense that the Raiders would not make him a bigger part of the offense. Especially considering the time is now for getting the rookies playing time.

Brock Bowers led non-QB offensive skill position players in snaps. More than any wide receiver or running back. That is pretty much as it should be considering how bereft of talent the team is in the wide receiving corps and how difficult things have been getting the ground game going. Michael Mayer saw just 13 snaps because he left with an ankle injury and didn't return.
3. Interior offensive line
Speaking of rookies not getting playing time, Caleb Rogers still hasn't seen a snap. He was active for this game and center Will Putnam left with an ankle injury and he still didn't get in the game. The team instead opted to keep former starting center Jordan Meredith at right guard and bring in Alex Cappa at center.

Charles Snowden had near as many snaps by himself (30) as Malcoln Koonce and Tyree Wilson had combined (31). His 59% was his highest of the season. He had an interception and a tackle for loss in the game.
5. Overall snaps
How the offense could put up nearly 30 more snaps than the defense and still only come away with ten points -- only three of which actually mattered -- is kind of mid boggling. This offense is so utterly inept it's staggering.
