Considering what the Patriots did to Miami yesterday, the Raiders should feel good about last week’s win over a revamped New England coach with Mike Vrabel at the helm. The highlight was Ashton Jeanty’s run. I’m sure you heard the stat of him having 44 YAC with only 38 yards from the day. Brock Bowers… Continue reading Untitled
Quick Thoughts from Beating the Bolts and Facing the Chiefs
Raiders fans have reasons to celebrate any time the Raiders beat the Chargers. Beating them decisively, ending their season and getting their coach fired helps too. It’s especially great because the Raiders have been on the other side of those ass whoppings. Vegas also gets points for doing it on national TV, without running back… Continue reading Quick Thoughts from Beating the Bolts and Facing the Chiefs
Three Points?! And How To Not Get Swept by the Chargers
The Vegas Raiders couldn’t score a single touchdown off a Bye Week. They faced a Vikings team down their starting quarterback, running back and elite receiver. Therefore, the shutout should not be a surprised. Two sacks from Maxx Crosby and the sack from rookie Tyree Wilson were welcomed celebrations. The Raiders also forced nine punts.… Continue reading Three Points?! And How To Not Get Swept by the Chargers
Raiders vs Chargers: Lessons from Week 3 and How to Avoid Losing at SoFi again

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.

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
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
