Forget about the Raiders and Chargers on Monday Night. It is not worth remembering the poor line play, ineffective running game and our QB falling into old ways. Vegas got 21-0 skunked in the first half after the lightning delay. They came out and made plays but they never really got the offense rolling on… Continue reading Keys For Battling The Mack Attack And More From A Weird Week For Raider Nation
Keys to Blacking Out the Bolts In Prime Time
When the Raiders take on the Chargers tonight, there’s a good reason many anticipate a home game. That’s what Derek Carr called it already and that’s what we’ve experienced each time the Raiders come to Los Angeles. This is the city where they won as the Oakland Raiders won a ring and they are the… Continue reading Keys to Blacking Out the Bolts In Prime Time
No Trap or Revenge Needed in Week 3 Vs Miami
What we learned in the Raiders win over the Steelers, why this ain’t last year and keys to establishing an identity versus the Dolphins in Week Three.
Good, Bad and Other Takeaways Before Steal City.
Good news, the Raiders won their opening matchup versus the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night. It was an official blessing to the Silver and Black’s new home in Vegas. Bad news, Vegas almost didn’t win. Even worse, Denzelle Good went down with a season ending injury. Good suffered the injury in the first game of… Continue reading Good, Bad and Other Takeaways Before Steal City.
2021: Back and More Silver than ever
Last season doesn’t really deserve an exit blog post. That is why you won’t find one on this blog. It’s also cause I’ve spent the last year raising teenagers. Thus, this is probably the least I’ve written about the Raiders over the last five years. Time to make up for lost time before the Raiders… Continue reading 2021: Back and More Silver than ever
The Exclamation on 2020
Last week was the first week I missed publishing a column this season. It was part I forgot about the Saturday kickoff and part my disgust with the team. It’s one thing to miss the playoffs but it is another to miss it off an overtime national loss to your rivals. If the Raiders can… Continue reading The Exclamation on 2020
Just Don’t Lose, Please
Almost everything hit the fan a few days ago when the Raiders got dominated by the Colts. Big runs broke, safeties got beat and the Raiders gave up 40 points. It was the latest memory we have of Derek Carr driving meaningless down the field while down more than two scores. He and the offense… Continue reading Just Don’t Lose, Please
A Playoff Push Starts With Indy
Did the Raiders win the game or did the Jets lose last week on the final play? It probably depends who you ask. Mainstream media and the Jets mainly blame the play caller Greg Williams who was fired after the winless Jets stayed that way. However, Vegas pass protected, made the throw and completed the… Continue reading A Playoff Push Starts With Indy
Jet Set on Just Winning
The Raiders did their best to kill any argument they belong in the playoffs. A 43-6 loss puts them in ninth place and outside the postseason. The only good thing is Baltimore lost in their J.V. Wednesday game. Vegas still has head-to-head matchups with the Colts and Dolphins who are ahead of them in the… Continue reading Jet Set on Just Winning
Raiders Rants: No Let Down Vs K.C., How to Beat the Falcons and more.
Last week’s Sunday Night Football loss to the Chiefs was hardly a setback. The Raiders fought hard, down four starters and limited practice time due to COVID. Don’t get me wrong, I am not sure Cory Littleton, Clelin Ferrell or any one else prevents the Chiefs from carving up the Raiders on that last drive.… Continue reading Raiders Rants: No Let Down Vs K.C., How to Beat the Falcons and more.
