before you crucify me… I just wanna say, losing this week isn’t ALL that bad.
We need a semi rebuild. Yes we have key role players in Jacobs, Adams & Crosby but losing this week isn’t all that bad.
Every loss gives us a better draft position lessening the chances of us spending draft capital to move up to get guys of need.
As long as AP and the team seem to be in good spirits and headed in the right direction, I’m not overly upset at us losing atm.
We just need to show improvement and draft some more studs to fill the gaps.
Everyone needs to chill. We’re 2-1 in the new era, and we DEFINITELY could have beaten Miami. We’re doing great. 6 more games to go. If we’re 5-4 since AP take over we’re headed in an incredibly good situation.
These sub reddits hang everything on last weeks performance. Let’s see how the rest of the season pans out.
Kind of a win win situation. If we win we win. Great. If we lose we get better draft positioning. Great. Moving on from McDaniels was already a W move by this team this season. There’s no expectations. This is the first time in a while we can all just be fans and enjoy the Raiders play.
Right attitude. All I wanted was to move from McD and we have done that. Any wins are just icing in the cake. Next year we can develop our own playbook and style and then motive on personnel as needed. This is a easy second half of the season as a Raider fan. ☠️🏈💪
It’s been a couple years since I could literally enjoy watching this team win or lose. Is this how other fans feel generally? I mean I want us to win. But the fact we are competitive regardless is a real breath of fresh air. And instead of sitting here cursing the coaching or the play calls or the refs I’m thinking “damn we didn’t fucking suck complete ass”
Edit: I still curse all those things, but it just feels different. Hopium is a helluva drug frens
I sometimes describe the Raiders season as:
- Hope phase (often…preseason)
- False hope phase (when it’s clear we’re not great but still hope it’ll get better)
- Lost hope phase (“ehhhh next year”)
Rn I’m just still feeling joy that McDaniels is gone and wow we’re not terrible. Feels strange…
It’s better to be on Hopium instead of Copium.
We’re far from a rebuild or anything near that, we need to stop tearing down and starting over, it’s taken this long to get a top 20 defense.
Draft and trade well in free agency, keep stacking on what we have and if we hit on o-line, d-line, and DBs we’ll be fine, can address QB later…
We lost to a future division winning playoff team that was the 1st team to hang 70 points on anyone since the 60s…by 1 score. Pretty much every media pundit out there had them putting up 40 points. We held them to 20 and brought it down to their all-pro, probably future hall of fame CB, picking it off…
The only people that are mad, don’t actually understand how important it was for us to just play a CLOSE game against a great offense with a top 10 defense.
Now that team that gave up 70 and lost by 50 is ahead of us in the standings. NFL, you crazy!
Another lets “tank” post. Oh lord. Losing helps no one. Literally.
It’s about to be full rebuild mode. New qb. Josh Jacobs most likely gone and Adams has one year left on his deal
What?
I’d rather have a loss to a good dolphins team than a loss to an abysmal bears team. The playcalling is better. Even just challenging that first fumble was something McDumbbitch would have never done. That doofus really set the bar low, but at the same time AP still has a learning curve to go through. The team just feels better and I also feel like we have Raiders culture back, as cheesy as that sounds. The corporate faux patriots shit was driving me insane.
That’s what I’ve been saying since yesterday. We were all expecting a blow out, but they took it down to the last play.
Nothing says RAIDERS like consistently winning the early rounds of the draft. Remember when they got um, oh wait, he’s gone. And that other guy is gone. And that one dude messed up my happy meal order last week. But what about um, oh wait, he’s in jail. Gimme a minute. I’m gonna think of someone.
JACOBS! Yeah! That guy. See! Raiders make the draft their bitch every year!
This doesn’t sound like a “Happy Meal”.
Also, by the way, sir, this is a Wendy’s.
Not to mention we can get back to the task at hand. “Victory Monday” is great. But we are essentially starting from scratch with new plays, additional formations and personnel, different timing - we need all the time on task we can get. Especially for a rookie who needs to build chemistry with Davante.
I’m taking the loss as a learning experience we can use to better prepare for bringing it to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Adams will be gone after this year, and Jacobs may be as well. Raiders have no QB option, and I guarantee they take the wrong choice in the draft. No matter who it is, it’ll end up being the wrong choice lol. Get rid of the Davis family, they’ve had 2 successful years since 2005
All this bullshit hype about AOC needs to fucking stop. He is not our future. He is not a starter. He holds none of the same traits as elite or even effective NFL QBs have.
Stop drinking the kool-aid and stop being delusional.
Why do we want a better draft position? I’ve been following the Raiders draft for almost 30 years, we have a terrible track record with first rounders, second rounders for that matter too.
I think AP is doing a good job of building culture, which is something we have lacked.
I’m on board with bringing him back next year since we will be strapped for cash paying out two additional head coaches.
I agree it’s not all bad losing but I don’t want us to put too much faith in the draft. Another Leatherwood or Arnette might be in the cards.
Not a rebuild necessarily, we need to bolster what we already have.
reality has nothing to do with being a raider fan.
