I’m all for the love of the Raiders and what the new coach AP has brought to this team but we need to be real.
We beat up on a Giants teams that finished the game with what might be the worst NFL QB I’ve ever seen.
Let’s keep this same energy if we lose to the Jets next week.
We are making the right moves and I love the energy from this sub right now but I dont want no sunshine fans. We were born in the darkness.

This offense would have to shit the bed for any type of hate to come from the fans. Like a shutout or maybe a game where we don’t score a TD. I highly doubt this team goes out and shits the bed, I’ll explain
Yes Jones got hurt and they played a backup but the backup was seeing 2nd team reps since Jones been injured, not saying he’s great or good I’m just saying. You can’t undersell Saquon as well, and the defense isn’t the same with Williams gone but they still had Lawrence and Thib the rook out there on the line and in no way shape or form is that DL bad or solid, it’s good at the very least.
To stay on the OL topic I think that’s where the concern was, well atleast from me. We have WRs that are complete dogs, and if you follow AOC closely you know he’s an accurate kid with NFL level anticipation THEN sprinkle in a new OC that will mold the offense to AOCs strengths, i was worried about the OL. They played a lot better and once again they went up against a good DL.
Yes the Jets have a crazy defense but they also have one of the worst QBs in Wilson. I watched his last game and Jesus, this guy was missing layups and everything else. The pass rush seems to bug him and Raiders have creating steady pressure for the most part so I expect the same outcome.
With that being said I think 2 TDs and a FG or two will win this game, I’ll be surprised if Jets score anything more than 10 pts. Not saying our defense is elite but the Jets offense is terrible.
Yes the nation needs to relax BUT it was a great win and this isn’t the same team in no way shape or form. We have an OC that’s playing to playmakers strengths and looks like he has some trick plays up his sleeves and that’s BIGTIME. You have to keep the offense fun to keep everyone engaged. Also this is basically an interview so Bo will pulling out his best tricks and imo Mayer is going to finally get a TD and have a breakout game.
From reports it sounds like Graham was being held back by JMD so I expect this defense to finally be what Graham envisioned. I believe just like the Giants, this is a game we SHOULD win, and like last week I think it happens unless for some reason Wilson has the game of his life against a Raider defense that has been good.
My concern is the 2 KC games and MIA game. Those are games that will test the team IN WHOLE. Jets will test our new offense and defense won’t be put to the test as much. I think with those games we as fans need to realize those are top teams that will put this team through the ringer. I have faith, and if AOC keeps improving and Bo keeps calling a good game, man this team is scary
