The Official Las Vegas Raiders Thread

I know I'm gonna get flamed big time for this, and might be asked to turn in my Niner card... but I'm kinda starting to like the Raiders.

Honestly, there is no real rivalry between the Raiders and Niners anymore, not with the current schedule system. We see them once every 4 years(I think), and I don't know. I don't feel like I'm betraying the Niners at all by liking the Raiders.

Of course, my allegiance to the Red and Gold is unquestionable, but I just can't help but to cheer for the Raiders on Sundays.

Also I live in the bay, so I kinda have an excuse to like all the bay teams.

Except the Warriors, f**k the Warriors.

Eh I try not to hate on them too bad because my little cousin is a raider fan but good god it's annoying hearing about "the greatness of da raidahs!!!!11" by everyone on tv, radio, and all the raider fans I know after one freaking win. Everyone at my cousin's birthday yesterday asked me "did you see the RAIDERS GAME!?!??" "omg the raiders won" and then on csn before sing's press conference I had to listen to them cover the raiders and I felt sorry for them a bit when they kept losing, but now they're getting real annoying just after 1 friggin win.

Nice win by the Raiders yesterday.

No. But the raiders do have much more impressive wins over far better teams than we do.

Only time will tell, but Murphy sure looks like he's gonna be bad ass. Steal WR in this years draft. Colston like.

What? There is no real rivalry anymore, I don't feel it. Games are too few and far between to get that old school feeling.

Personally, I don't mind the raiders as a team, but I HATE their fans.

well, if you look at the stats you linked, he's only behind crabtree and most of those other dudes in receptions. Besides that, just the way he plays. He's super aggressive and plays with fire whether blocking or running down the field for a pass. If he were on a decent passing team, his stats would be much better.

He also looks much faster then crabtree. I think Crabtree will be ok, but this draft did have some pretty good WRs. You got Murphy, Percy Harvin, Maclin, Kenny Britt, Hakeem Nicks all these guys look pretty good so far.


The first one picked DHB might be the worst one of them all.

lol, true. Where did Murphy get picked? They need to switch his and DHB's paycheck.
