The Raiders looked legit last week against the Chiefs. They were a few special teams errors short of being undefeated. Most importantly, the team maintained its energy and kept fighting. They looked like a legitimate playoff contender against a real playoff contender. Now, they travel to New England to face the defending AFC champs. The… Continue reading It’s too early to not rebound versus Pats
3-0 and Beat the Chiefs
There’s not a lot to be said. The Raiders are 3-0 for the first time since 2021, and it feels different. Now, they head into an undefeated matchup versus their AFC West rival, the Chiefs. The Raiders played a young Saints team tight. They edged out the upstart team despite being down double digits on… Continue reading 3-0 and Beat the Chiefs
Finally winning at SoFi + How to win in New Orleans
Last week, my column was going to start with “Don’t get your hopes up. Vegas started last season 1-0 too.” However, the Raiders finally did it. They finally won at SoFi with fans in attendance. Honestly, the whole day had that winning vibe. Raiders fans always take over SoFi, no matter how much they shrink… Continue reading Finally winning at SoFi + How to win in New Orleans
Let’s See How This Goes
It should not be hard to be optimistic heading into this season. The Raiders again have a change at head coach. This time, it’s a first-time, high-energy, player-focused head coach with an offensive background. They finally drafted their QB of the future with Fernando Mendoza in the first round. Maxx Crosby is back, even after… Continue reading Let’s See How This Goes
Are you ready for the future of the franchise?
The Raiders seemingly only have one move to make tonight. You never want a draft first overall again. That’s why drafting QB Fernando Mendoza from Indiana makes too much sense. Still, Vegas could shake things up with a trade. Both the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals desperately need a quarterback. The Raiders have a… Continue reading Are you ready for the future of the franchise?
A quick catchup before facing Denver
I witnessed another ass whooping at SoFi last week. Didn’t even blog because I did not want to jinx it. It was a good time and a beautiful day, though. Raiders just never really kept it competitive. Even when it was close early, it did not feel like the Raiders were in reach. Mind you,… Continue reading A quick catchup before facing Denver
MNF Shame and the Shadeur Show Arrives in Vegas
Here’s a cleaned-up, tightened version with minimal rewrites while fixing grammar, flow, and clarity: Raider Nation is in full crisis mode after getting blown out by the Cowboys. Already, memes to fire Pete Carroll are everywhere. Why would you take a risk on such a high-profile coach and not even give him a full offseason?… Continue reading MNF Shame and the Shadeur Show Arrives in Vegas

For all the shit people talk about Raiders fans, I think most agree the Cowboys are worse. The Silver and Black needs to beat the Cowboys in Vegas or else we won’t hear the end of it until these teams play agin in a few years. The Raiders damn near got another bye week since… Continue reading Untitled
Just Beat the Donkeys
The Raiders got embarrassed again by the Jaguars at home. This one wasn’t as bad as some of the other losses this year — at least the Raiders showed up and competed. The offense looked a lot better with Brock Bowers back. However, it came down to the last play. The Jaguars’ defensive tackle made… Continue reading Just Beat the Donkeys

The Raiders have one job this week. Win at all costs. Last time we saw the Raiders, they fell to the Chiefs by more than 30 points. They got no sacks and couldn’t rush for over 40 yards or pass for over 100 yards. Kansas City was literally taking shots during the blowout. It was… Continue reading Untitled
