One last home stand for the greatest fans in football. A sad farewell to a city that loved this team through it all. Let's do things a little different this week: What is your favorite memory of the Oakland Raiders since returning in 1995? - Chucky part 1. 3 straight division titles and a Super Bowl trip was the most success we've had during my fandom. The memory you'd like to forget? - Al with his projector Their biggest winning moment? - AFC Championship against the Titans Their biggest mistake? - Drafting JR over Megatron and AP Who was your favorite Oakland Raider in this era? One offensive and defense player - Timmy B and CWood Veteran player who became a Raiders you wish never had? - Javon Walker If you could choose anyone to light the Al Davis torch for this game, who would it be? - Rich Gannon And finally predict how badly the Raiders are going beat the Jags on Sunday - 27-17 We Love you Oakland.

Home games will be a lot different, mostly for the good, but the absence of the black hole is going to take a lot of time getting used to. I couldn't be more excited to become the Las Vegas Raiders. I was talking to a Raider fan I met at random last year. I do that a lot. He said his relative already bought his season tickets...... in the Black Hole. Maybe it's not a thing of the past. It's those who make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodo Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) I first started watching in 2006 so I'm going off what I directly experienced; On 12/11/2019 at 2:07 PM, agarcia34 said: What is your favorite memory of the Oakland Raiders since returning in 1995? Oakland 59 - Denver 14 ....*laughs in DMC* The memory you'd like to forget? Trent Cole breaking Carr's fibula. Would've beaten the Broncos and gotten a bye if not for that Their biggest winning moment? Beating the Panthers in 2016 after Carr dislocated his finger. Felt like everything went wrong and was over with the Kelvin Benjamin touchdown, then the team just rattles off an onslaught like I haven't seen since. Mack ends it with a sack. Felt like a team of destiny. There's no doubt that team was a fraud, but there's no telling how far that fraud could've gone in the playoffs Their biggest mistake? Jamarcus single-handily made the case for the rookie wage scale. Very close second is the Palmer trade that we didn't even make the playoffs for. F'n Hue Who was your favorite Oakland Raider in this era? One offensive and defensive player. McFadden and Asomugha Veteran player who became a Raiders you wish never had? LOL it would be easier to list the signings that didn't rip us off. I'll go with MeAngelo If you could choose anyone to light the Al Davis torch for this game, who would it be?

But kind of summarizes the Raiders recent tenure in Oakland that the most worthy Oakland Raider is a guy who won a Championship and MVP with another team.

Darius Heyward Bey was a close second Who was your favorite Oakland Raider in this era?

NYRaider Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I was at the game last week against Tennessee. I was planning to go to the game this week but after that pathetic performance, I'll probably just watch it somewhere in Oakland. I went to two games this year, the Chiefs game and the Titans game. We got blown out in both. The only reason I want to go is to throw a beer on Carr as he walks through the tunnel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justwinning Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I'm from LA so I've only gone to two games up in Oakland and one game on the road at Denver (2017; when Carr broke his back). I really loved making the trip to the Bay and really enjoyed the passion that my fellow fans showed at the games. I was at the recent game against the Lions so that was a great experience. However, my other game came in 2014 when we were 0-10 and beat KC on TNF. Nothing will ever top that experience for me (sports-wise anyways). Pouring rain, primetime TV, and it being my first time at the Coliseum was special. Happy to say we are 2-0 when being at the Coliseum lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
