Any you don't? I'd like to see Jacobs in 8. Would love to see Jacobs in 8 again. Looked real good on him in college. Mullen I’m not really feelin at 1, but if he thinks it’ll make him play better, have at it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good 'ol boys network who owned for the love of the game. Now they operate like fortunate 500's, more concerned with the bottom line than the fans that support them half the time. Look no further than the "black tie hole" at the new stadium. Luxury boxes in the endzone is greedy to me. We've been such a laughing stock of a team for so long I don't even care. I know it sucks for the average fan but I'm so tired of seeing our team as the cheapest/poorest/saddest team on the list season after season. Besides, I love going to games, but I've been sitting at home watching them for 20 years. I'll be alright. I am going to move to LV and buy season freaking tickets when I retire from the military though. That's a fact. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparatively speaking, Vegas can be cheap too (operating word being "can"). I'll forever be bummed that I missed the last Oakland home game though. Had tickets too. I know many people had issues with Oakland and the Coliseum in particular, but boy was that a tough pill to swallow. I can't wait to see a game in the new digs, but I know somewhere deep down I'll have to temper my expectations. That said, it definitely felt good getting texts from friends who are fans of some of the most successful franchises (Packers, Saints, Seahawks mostly) about how sick the new stadium looks. They kept calling it the Death Star, and I was quite proud of that lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no more talking trash about our stadium. That's for sure. I don't care if it looks like a rhoomba lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I read an interesting article on TheAthletic about building around rookie QBs for the Jets and Jaguars. Kind of compared their situations. Brought in the Bills as an example of how to successfully build around QBs. Mentioned KC and Mahomes as well. But I was really intrigued by what they said about the Bills. The article talked about how bringing in mid tier FAs instead of signing big name FAs like the Jets did is why the Bills have had more success. Instead of signing 1-2 big name players, the Bills filled a bunch of positions with players on reasonably priced contracts via FA. Kind of like how we've done this offseason with the DL. I know it isn't the flashy, exciting offseason we wanted, but I do think our DL will be much improved this upcoming season. We may not be a top 10 DL, but I think we'll be closer to the middle of the pack. I think signings like J. Brown, the DL (other than Ngakoue because he was a big name with a big contract), and the recent CB signing, are all the little moves that tip the scale in a positive direction. I think having a reasonably priced OL is going to help as well, at least in terms of our ability to be able to distribute the cap more evenly between the offense and defense. I'll continue to be optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I don't like is the Al Davis torch. I like the idea behind it, but man it looks like an eyesore. Wondering how it looks in person.

Didn't realize it would just be a bunch of orange/red lines just wrapped around a giant cone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I thought it would be real flame you could see from the strip on game days. Instead... the strip view just gets the back of a giant cone. It really was a poor design and execution from what I've seen in pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Hearing it was a fake flame definitely killed the allure of that torch. I'd rather it be outside somewhere and a real flame or something rather than it be inside + be fake. Beggars can't be choosers though. LV dome + fake flame >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anything Oakland ever had us play in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
