After being dismantled by the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, the Oakland Raiders took a fall down all the power rankings across the web, including SB Nation. It wasn't that they had much further down to go but still, a loss like that deserves that you take somewhat of a hit.

SB Nation dropped the Raiders from No. 28 to No. 31 and harped on the fact that the Raiders had shown so much promise over the last few years and appear to have now reverted back to rebuilding mode.

ESPN dropped the Raiders from No. 25 to No. 30 and mentioned that the next three quarterbacks the Raiders will face are Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning and Matt Ryan. And this is for a team that lost both starting cornerbacks in the first two weeks of the season to injuries. Yikes.

Sportsline dropped the Raiders from No. 23 to No. 27 and chastised them for not even showing up against Miami, even with the short turnaround from the previous week.
