The Raiders whooped the Bolts butt and it was amazing. I got to witness the greatness of the Raiders in its native home one last time. Shoutout to the Sacramento butcher who hooked it up with a nice cowboy steak. Also shout out to the dude who stole our compact toll box grill. The compact… Continue reading What we want to see versus the Bengals
How the Raiders Close Out TNF with a Win Over the Bolts
All aboard the Josh Jacobs train. As long as the Raiders have him they will have a chance versus the Chargers. Oakland will need Jacobs to help neutralize the Chargers aggressive ends. The offense will also need Derek Carr to once again make crucial throws in tight spots on third down and in the red… Continue reading How the Raiders Close Out TNF with a Win Over the Bolts
Lions or Cubs
The Oakland Raiders are fresh off a loss to the Houston Texans that should have been win. Oakland put the pressure on Houston for most of the game until the Texans were able to squeeze one out. That’s not surprising given they were a home team with more talent. The Same question, new week Who… Continue reading Lions or Cubs
Raiders trade options at the deadline, Texans and RIP Willie
The Raiders have moved every first round player from the Reggie McKenzie days, except Karl Joseph. However, Joseph could still get moved before Monday’s deadline. This week Oakland traded Gareon Conley after missing some crucial tackles last week. Rumors say the talks went on for weeks but the timing makes even Lane Kiffin’s infamous departure… Continue reading Raiders trade options at the deadline, Texans and RIP Willie
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
Time to rev the Carr
If the Raiders play like they did Sunday it will be a long season. Oakland came out with a 3-and-out faster than you can imagined. The defense wasn’t much better. The Raiders got beat as soon as they got off the plane. Now, they’ll go into Indianapolis. The Colts are well coached and still strong… Continue reading Time to rev the Carr
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. The Raiders have already invested too many high draft picks in the secondary over the past four… Continue reading A trade doesn’t answer the Raiders problems and keys versus Vikings
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. Oakland looked like they could be sneaky good when they were up 10-0 early versus their rivals. Then, the Chiefs turned it on… Continue reading Lessons from the collapse to the Chiefs
Forget AB, for Oakland’s Sake and more game notes Week One 2019
Week One is upon us and Antonio Brown is behind us. The entire, short-lived Antonio Brown situation was nightmare for the Silver and Black. However, the biggest loser in the entire situation is Oakland. Without Brown, the Raiders are that much less talented and that much harder to support in their future ex-home city. Oakland… Continue reading Forget AB, for Oakland’s Sake and more game notes Week One 2019
