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.
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.
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 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!
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…
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.
Same post from the last 10 years.
But this time it’s different
right?
And people still equate moving up a few spots with definitely getting a better player. Without looking I can guarantee if we swapped the player we took with our first round picks with the team 5-6 spots behind us every year we’d have had more success the past two decades.
Everyone freaked out because the Texans lost their 1st pick to Carolina…turned out to be the best thing they could have done.
The draft is way too much of a crapshoot to care about moving up a few spots. I’d rather win games.
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?
We lost by 7 to the best offense in the league on a rookie’s 4th start. I’ll take that. You can’t win them all and this is one I wouldn’t have marked as a W on the calendar. I just can’t wait to see how this energized defense handles Kelce.
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.
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.
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
Not a rebuild necessarily, we need to bolster what we already have.
The time for tanking is over. We need to evaluate our current coaching staff and see if they’re worth bringing back. It’s amazing how the media and many fans seem ready to give AP the job as if he’s fully earned it.
Win as many games as possible and hope for the longshot 10-7 which I actually wouldn’t be surprised by.
If we really want a top QB, try and trade up. We aren’t getting a top 5 pick on our own. There is a world where Chicago trades the #1 pick for a ransom if Fields looks good enough
Otherwise, maybe we grab BPA or take a Bo Nix/Jayden Daniels in the 10-20
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.
