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.

    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!

    I’d rather the current players get a taste for winning than cross our fingers on picking the right college kid for next year. Franchise needs to get in a habit of building with what it has vs constant recycling. Game is played to be won, and should be treated as such every week. But that’s just me.

    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.

    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…

    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.
