The Official Las Vegas Raiders Thread

Man, every team in the league that needed to lose for the raiders to get in did just that, and all they needed to do was win, and they pulled a raiders on themselves. Figures.



P.S. They set the record for penalties in one season. I happened to notice that they had like 5 or 6 teams in the top 8 of all time penalized teams in one season.

Hue Jackson blaming the players

holy s**t

Al Davis would have fired this guy by now

"pissed off" is censored? They aired it on CSN.

They are, but still I've never considered that phrase anything near cuss level. They actually made it look a whole lot worse with the bleeps lol.

Probably but at the same time I can't blame him the raiders players especially the defensive players don't give a s**t. I think Hue wants to win but his team is unmotivated, even Davis would've seen that the way the Raiders defense played this season. It's not like Mike Nolan who threw his players under the bus but had no idea how to be a head coach, Jackson may not be a GM but I think hes a good coach, he has the right to be pissed at his players his defense was awful. He always took the blame for the defensive shortcomings when they have an opportunity like that and blow it anyone gets pissed off.

Did he ever blame himself for not going for 2 against the Lions? They were up 12 with 7:47 left and the fool took the extra point, allowing the Lions to win by 1. One of the dumbest decisions I've ever seen.

As a head coach, I dont think you throw your team under the bus like that

especially after a season ending playoff losing loss

His team set the record for most penalty yards and penalties. As a coach you have to address that and put that on your self at some point too

Nah, the ball was out. About an inch or 2, but when he went down, the ball was out in the field of play.

I dont know if Id say he threw his team under the bus. He told the truth.
The Raiders have also been the most penalized team for a long long time. Its gonna take a while to change that. To be honest I think the refs get at them a little harder than they would the Saints, Packers, or Patriots. Their reputation precedes them. Holding can be called on 90% of every play of every game.

Hue has them headed in the right direction. I know injuries are a part of the game but if they had McFadden, Ford, and Moore healthy all season, they would have won the division a few weeks ago. Bush played well but McFadden was an early season MVP candidate.
And Im sure I'll get flamed for this but Heyward-Bey had a better season than Crabtree.
If I were whoever it is thats running the Raiders now, Id give Spagnuolo a blank check to run the defense.

I would have loved to see pittsburgh vs oakland in oakland

It's ok Raiders, the 49ers don't play next week either...
