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

A trade doesn’t answer the Raiders problems and keys versus Vikings
Antonio Brown ain’t walking through that door. Neither is Rich Gannon, Jerry Rice or any Raiders great. The only thing that will change the Raiders season is already in the locker room. Jalen Ramsey ain’t the answer either.

This year is even more… Continue reading Super Bowl LIII and more reasons to be Petty
Bye Week Blues: Coop Gone and More
Listen, it’s been a couple of weeks since I have written here. How can you blame me? What should I say after our season’s first win came in OT of a toilet bowl versus the Browns?

Goodbye, Gruden’s Casualties: OTAS
I know it is OTA’s and it is all about moving forward to the 2018 season but I want to take a few moment to remember the legacies of a few Raiders casualties.

Gruden Era Can’t Trust the Process
The Oakland Raiders blew up the process by firing Jack Del Rio and hiring Jon Gruden. You don’t hire Gruden from the booth, assemble of group of experienced and expensive assistants and pay Del Rio off to win a Division title. The expectations for Gruden and company is a Super Bowl ASAP. Of course, that… Continue reading Gruden Era Can’t Trust the Process
