Las Vegas had a real chance at beating the Patriots. They left too many points on the board by not converting touchdowns in the redzones. Settling for field goals versus a well coached Patriots team is not the answer. Still, the defense forced a turnover with Johnathan Abram’s interception. Maxx Crosby registered a couple of… Continue reading Raiders Versus Bills Preview

3-0 in sight? Week Three 2020 Preview
Las Vegas opened with a bang as the Raiders upset the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. The Raiders weren’t without their flaws. Their pass rush was still non-existent. Alvin Kamara and Latavis Murray were effective as receivers and runners versus the Raiders defense. Our run game still averaged less than four yards a… Continue reading 3-0 in sight? Week Three 2020 Preview

Week One Welcome Back
There’s a lot to talk about ahead of Week One 2020. Unfortunately, I haven’t met my duties as a Raiders blogger this offseason. Between COVID and taking in my two brothers and sister, I’ve been busy. I was covering the Lakers, doing a two-times weekly podcast and started my own newsletter. However, that all came… Continue reading Week One Welcome Back

Sticking to the Script versus the Chargers + One Last Goodbye/Homecoming
The Oakland Raiders have to beat the Chargers this week. There is not much to play for this week for either team as both AFC West teams are virtually eliminated from the playoffs. You might even argue that a win here would hurt the team’s draft pick. However, the Raiders are still a young team.… Continue reading Sticking to the Script versus the Chargers + One Last Goodbye/Homecoming
A Goodbye to Oakland and Beating the Jags
Oakland is an Experience Everyday for the past four years I’ve woken up and looked at the Oakland Coliseum, Alameda Coliseum. O.co or whatever it is called. A few years back someone bought me a picture of the stadium printed on canvas. It’s a reminder of the place I feel most at home. Gruden hit… Continue reading A Goodbye to Oakland and Beating the Jags
No Bye Week Blues, Zay Jones and No Pack No
No Bye Week issues this year minus Trent Brown’s off-the-field civil lawsuit for alleged DV against an ex girlfriend. The Oakland Raiders beat the Khalil Mack led Chicago Bears in London, the Silver and Black acquired Zay Jones and they’re sitting above .500 in the playoff pick. Either way, the Raiders are in a good… Continue reading No Bye Week Blues, Zay Jones and No Pack No
Building momentum against the Mack Attack
The return of the Mack is here and this ain’t an Andrew Yang rally. The Raiders are lucky this game is in London and not Oakland. Khalil Mack’s return to the Bay would be nuts especially if the Bears win and/or Mack dominates. Imagine Khalil Mack getting by Kolton Miller and saying I’m so glad… Continue reading Building momentum against the Mack Attack
Lessons from the collapse to the Chiefs
What did we learn from the Raiders collapse versus the Chiefs in a 28-10 loss despite the Raiders early loss? First, the Chiefs are again the class of the AFC West still.
