NFL Is Here!!! Let The Smack Commence!

Yeah, Mar - I couldn't believe no one had posted on this thread for a week - and no one all day Sunday or Monday until I did. Anyway, glad you're a good sport about it, and sorry you guys are in such sad shape right now. We all know how fast the tables can turn, too!

It's all in good fun Bel.

I know some Packer fans who are just complete a-holes (and Bears fans too!) about the rivalry, and that's no fun.

ya we suck, it is what it is. (im still rooting for whomever GB is playing the following week though lol)

here's a couple good ones for ya...

I'm still not sold on Carr either...

He's our future. There isn't a star receiver or tight end on that team. Plus when there is ZERO run game and the defense knows it then there is only so much he can do. Don't forget he's the only rookie to start all games. He needs seat time, he already had the IQ.

Yeah I know all that, It's more out of frustration...

Most of the games aren't blow outs, they've been somewhat competitive "at times",
with a couple exceptions;
Like London with Miami & the 2nd half meltdown with Denver are embarrassing...

I'm just saying I'm not 100% sold on the guy yet,
I'm well aware of his college career too,
I follow the Fresno State Bull Dogs {this ain't college}
I know he's a damn rookie,
1st ever season starting rookie too, since AFL Tom Flores 1960,
but none of that crap, doesn't mean anything in the NFL !!
you need to win, right now out of the gate...
or it stands for NOT FOR LONG

the management & coaching sucks a$$

{I know it's a messed up year, injuries etc., interim head coach Blah Blah Blah, BS}

Just Win Baby,
no more damn lame excuses,
get the right people,
in the right places,
make the right choices...

they'll probably have the #1 overall pick again next draft,
probably squander/screw it up too...

they squandered $60+ million of cap money $$$$$
only a select few players performing

I will 100% agree that he needs more support for sure, a couple of marquee receivers,
at-least some damn protection & a running game, to set up the passing game
& it would help tremendously to actually have a durable RB,
that's not going to be injured 1/2 way thru the season always
also better coaching & game planning would help too...

I hate the zone defense crap they play allot NOW, get physical,
bump them off the line, they're playing off the receivers, way too damn far,
just giving the OP offense 7-10 yards every damn pass...

OP's dink & dunk them to death, then they get burned if they play run support with the safeties...
The special teams is weak, even the punter King has been sucking,
Raiders have always had great punters, only guy that's doing good is SeaBass,
seems they're always giving our opponents great/mid-field position...

Staring in the hole...

Getting a lead in some cases, then folding like a damn lawn chair...

It's really hard to be a Raiders fan the last decade
Don't get me wrong
I still bleed Silver & Black, always will....

I'm just really disappointed/frustrated, pissed a little too,
like every fan of a losing team, of a once proud winning franchise would be...

go from the winning-ist % team in 50 years after the NFL/AFL merger/history,
to the worst team in a decades time
 
It sucks, it really does. And it does mean something that he is a rookie. They guy that just stomped his as was 3-13 his rookie year. He has a leanring curve. Especailly coming out of Fresno State and not an SEC team. He's already better then Jamarcus Russell.

0-9 sucks. But when Oakland starts winning again we will know who the true fans already are.

that's not setting a very high bar there,
hell I think my 80+ year old aunt is better & smarter football senses
than Jamarcus Russell was

I feel your pain Bud, I really do. Like I've said before, I have never been a Raiders fan (especially when the Seahawks were in the NFC West) but I almost always enjoyed watching Raider games. Especially back when they were the team to beat. Some of the best pro games I've ever seen were Raider games back in the '70s and '80s. Sad to see them fall this far. It's been happening for a long time. Maybe when they start seeing empty seats and losing revenue somebody will finally come in and clean house. You can always hope.

yeah it sucks,
my 1st love is the Raiders, pretty much born & raised...

My Oregon Ducks are kicken a$$ thou, #2 right now...

Lions look relatively good too, finally...
yet another team that has been a long time favorite, since I was a kid my Pop Warner team was the Lions
& I have serious levels of frustrations, assoc. with that team too...
I was use to that, but not the Raiders, losing so much, until recent years...

But, I still love football & can watch other teams, that have changed the scope of the NFL
 
Greetings from Downunder.

I've only become interested in the NFL in the last 18 months, some NFL games are now shown on local TV. Hitched my wagon to Brady, Gronk and the crew after watching a game. Doing okay this season!!

Budnicks, I dunno how anyone couldn't also have a soft spot for the Raiders. That bunch of misfits are a great story :)

Phil Villapiano was awesome. I even tried to get a jersey with his name on it but the NFL won't sell one with a past player name on it!!

All I'll say is that first half against the Broncs made me nervous as hell. I used a few expressions that my sons shouldn't have heard. There is still a Raiders spark there, they just need to figure out how to light the torch again.

I genuinely miss hating the Raiders because it's hard to do when they're on their @ss.

I can remember back in the day going to games at Mile High just looking for the guys in Raider garb and trying to pick a fight. Don't see them too much anymore.

I do however still swerve at the vehicles with Raiders decals in the back window though. You would be suprized at how many you see in Denver.

Keep the faith Bud.

There is no losing money in the NFL. It's a non profit with profit sharing between teams. (Awesome business plan). But the Oakland area has plenty of black outs.

Every team has droughts. Some longer then others.

Lions - Poor Barry Sanders
Browns - Cleveland. period.
Seahawks - Just got their first SB
Dolphins - Dan Marino?
Cowboys - 1 playoff win in 20 years
Jaguars - So bad they want to move them to London

BUD - you better be watching this game! I'm stuck at work watching Carr and Murray tear it up!!
 
What!! The Raiders are winning......I'm in shock!!!
 
correction - RAIDERS WIN! RAIDERS WIN! RAIDERS WIN!!

Superbowl 50 bound baby!!

Pretty good game. Raiders are getting a little better as the year goes along. They have the talent to win when they get their act together. Bud should be celebrating tonight.

Just Win, Maybe

yea ha, finally got a damn win... just baby steps...LOL

too bad Murray got a concussion,
Carr looked pretty good in that rain & mud
& no penalty for that helmet to helmet hit either, that took out Murray I may add...

dummies tried to give away at the end, with the premature celebrations,
coaching & Tuck called a time-out

me too...

Especially against the Chiefs,
they've had the Raiders number for a few years, Great rivalry games always...

1st rushing touchdown, not one but two, against the #8 rated NFL defense,
that haven't gave a up a rushing touchdown all season...

Defense actually did decent too,
Special teams sucked & left the Chiefs in good field position,
like the 40-50yard line, way too often thou,
glad the defense stood up finally....
