This is Raider football. We have an interim head coach, a rook qb playing his heart out and a fucking insane person playing DE on a fucked knee. The Chiefs sub would be burning down if we won this game. they’re fickle fans. sack up, move on and let’s enter this bye week with poise.

    i am not at all upset. sure, a bit disappointed but after enough time you realize that none of this is in control and all you can do is cheer for the right direction. JMD was such a toxin that yes, i would rather lose without him. the guys are playing hard but we really are missing a few parts. this will be the continuing JMD effect. at least these guys are trying.

    Appreciate your post and feel similar about the current situation. I don’t think we are a playoff team yet but feel better. If we would have beat the fins and KC I think we would be freaking out

    I’m not sure if AP is a good HC or not, but the players have been ready for every game (no lackadaisical starts), and, with the exception of Marcus Peters, have competed until the end.

    JUST WIN BABY. i’m not worried about shit. they got rid of the obviously bad head coach. Next year is gonna be a new year with a better head coach. I won’t speculate on anything because it does no good. All of the folks here trying to call all of the shots for the team just take a day off. You’re a fan, it’s out of your control. It’s okay to care, I care too much sometimes about this shit. At the end of the day don’t let it ruin any part of your day. Just sit back and ride the wave. Better days ahead.

      You guys been saying that for 20 years. Just give up already. The Raiders are just another Vegas show now. Time to find a new team.

          I mean when you book it down following a football team is just entertainment. It is entertaining to you to follow an organization that left your city twice, jacked the price of tickets to the highest in the NFL and then makes stupid head coaching and player personnel decisions year after year? It’s a circus and will always be a circus as long as Mark Davis is the owner. Yet all you Raider fans are like an abused spouse, you keep coming back for more hoping one day to recapture the glory of the 70’s. It will never ever be that again. It’s over. Just pick a local team that actually hires smart people and puts a product in the field that’s fun and “entertaining” to watch. And don’t forget the reward…. The playoffs. You ain’t gonna get no reward being a Raider fan.

    Raider fan of over 40 years. I like where we are going. Our team fights and plays hard. Our HC has changed the culture here. We are going in the right direction.

      Same here, ~40 years. Absolutely headed in the right direction. AP today: “We will protect the brand; the shield; the integrity of this organization.”

      McBaby never understood nor respected any of that.

      Shoot, I thought it would be 35-0 Chiefs at the half. The fact that we scored two touchdowns is awesome!!!

      Team needs a whole new offense scheme, we gotta remember the playbook was meant for jimmy and not Aidan, defense is solid enough but offense has been our biggest issue. Need a new style or scrap the book after the season is done, would love to just freestyle it in the last two games to see if Bo really has what it takes to be OC

      I only want a team that fights hard and has heart, that are playing for each other and not running out the string.

      That’s why I’m down with this roster and the new coaching staff. It doesn’t fucking matter what talent you bring in if the culture ain’t right and your team isn’t playing with heart and passion. Football has too big a cost physically to accept guys half-assing it. These guys are warriors and I’m gonna honor them as such, win or fucking lose. I’m proud of our team now, and fuck McDaniels and the bitch-made Patriots Way.

    I expected to be 6-6 or 5-7 when we were 3-5. We’re 5-7 . 4 very winnable games. The 7th seed is up for grabs. You win the next 2 at home and you’re right there again. If crosby is dealing with something big though, shut it down and let’s just tank for a top 8 pick. We can’t just risk it our players.

    I swear - after dumping JMD, all I wanted was a competitive team with motivated players. We got that, and how the hell are people disregarding that we played the #4 defense in the league today? AOC looked good today. Maxx is insane in that good way, and his leg didn’t fall off. Let’s have a nice bye and see what we get in two weeks with players healed and rested.

      This … looking much better and playing with that Raider edge … this is all positive so far. Win or lose given the in-season circumstances, I’m content.

    I can’t believe I’m being the optimist here…

    McZieg fucked this team up. Our first round pick is a fucking bust (at the very least this year). Our QB situation is fucked, AOC is not that mutherfucker (but the team still believes in him), and apparently we still have McDickFuck’s mid af playbook. WITH ALL THAT SAID, AP is one of three interim HCs to win his first 2 games. We were competitive with probably 2 of the best teams in the NFL. I’m not upset we lost. I believe in this FO to draft properly (I got nothing to back this up, it’s just a feeling). Does it suck losing to the Chiefs? Sure. At least they weren’t dancing on us like The Raiders under McCockSuck.

    The expectation here is to win games, period. This isn’t the Browns.

    That said, the team is competitive. We obviously have a bunch of needs (QB, RG, C, LB, CB, DT), but also have a pretty good foundation here. I expect to win some more games this season and go into the offseason with some momentum.

    The idea that this coaching staff and AOC were magically going to be hidden gems that turned out to be elite was always a pipe dream so I’m not heartbroken over it if it doesn’t work out.

    I do feel for the fans that over-pivoted and somehow think we’re now the 49ers, a couple of pieces away from an elite defense with AOC as some kind of Brock Purdy figure. This loss must be really disappointing for those people
