If I were into betting...Vegas Raiders, in an inaugural season with a new stadium, would be my only interest.
NFL corporate has already seen to it that the Saints and Chiefs are PR fodder...if you go to a Raiders forum, check out how excited they are. THAT was/is the goal...generate new fan interest and land a "low hanging fruit" post-season position. Sell hope.... If you think the officials are done at just manipulating the KC/NO games...you didn't pay attention to their 2016 "convince Nevada politicians to green-light the move" tour. Carr actually set a NFL record for most 4th quarter comebacks...yeah right...then that "best ever in history...ice in your veins" magic just vanished...never to reappear. So how do you immediately fall off this imaginary cliff...only to start to redeem yourself a few years later? Simple...build a stadium in the gambling capital of the universe. They were *cough* "good" in 2016..when they were seeking relocation approval...suddenly, they are "good" again in 2020 when the move is complete...just shave off 18 points from the SB champs and you're magically a "winner". 2015 7-9, 2016 12-4, 2017 6-10, 2018 4-12, 2019 7-9...their one winning record was when they were "lobbying" politicians.

It also seemed to me that on at least one of those long TDs someone blew their assignment.
Overall, it was a combination of risky play calling on defense, with a little bit of a poor performance by the defensive line, AND poor performances from the O-line, and the receivers and tight ends. The receivers had their hands on a lot of passes they didn't catch, and most of those passes were on the money. Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk |

Do people remember, prior to their 2016 season, all the pundits...seemingly out of nowhere, universally started hyping the Raiders? This was across the board...it was the strangest thing.
I couldn't figure out why as they went 7-9 the year before. Usually, to generate this level of off-season buzz...you have at least one "statement" game. You handedly beat a contender or two...even though you ended up with a losing record. This dictates your team is on the "rise"...and improving. These were the teams the Raiders beat to earn the 2016 hype... 5-11 Ravens 3-13 Browns 4-12 Chargers 10-6 Jets (Fitzpatrick was injured after 5 passes...backup Geno Smith came in. It was his only appearance that season.) 3-13 Titans 12-4 Broncos (Carr was 12/29 for 135 in a 15-12 game against backup Osweiler) 4-12 Chargers So essentially their only "impressive" victories, against winning teams, were against back-up QBs. The rest were teams with 5 or fewer wins... They were 17th in offense and 22nd in defense. In their final 8 games...they scored 14, 13, 15 ,17, 20, 20, 24 (3-13 Titans) 23 (OT 4-12 Chargers). Half way through their "miracle" 12-4 season...it was publicly announced they were meeting with Nevada politicians about a potential relocation. All the preseason hype...created out of thin air...suddenly made perfect sense....as did the record amount of 4th quarter comebacks. They promptly went back to sucking once the move was approved.

Whether or not there was an agenda is immaterial. The bottom line is that the Raiders likely lose (and probably by double digits) if they had called an obvious DPI and not wiped two TDs off the board. But, by all means, get your shots in for a few more weeks. Lord knows you haven't had the opportunity for about 20 years. ![]() |

I'm a Raiders fan who has long been frustrated with the refs always being against us, and so far this year the tides have seemingly changed, we've gotten several calls in our favor that previously the refs would take glee in ****ing us over with.
