The Las Vegas Raiders' season has not gone to plan, and fans showed their frustrations this past weekend.

As they fell to a measly 2-9, which led to the firing of offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, Raiders fans booed Geno Smith as he came off the field, continuing a trend that began before the game even started.

Smith responded by appearing to flip the middle finger.

Smith admitted that he "made a poor judgment out of frustration" and apologized.

"I’ve got to be better than that, and I’ve got to hold myself to a higher standard. In that moment, I didn’t. I’m sincerely apologetic and very sorry, obviously, for doing that. I just want to make it known that those things will never happen for me again," Smith told reporters Wednesday.

This is the second time, however, Smith has done that this year. He made the same gesture before a preseason game in Seattle toward a fan who held up a sign comparing him to former Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell, one of the biggest busts in franchise history.
