NYRaider Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 3 minutes ago, G said: Agreed but that gives us months to 'prepare' mentally and our 'D' is unseen by the opponent. Growing pains no doubt but if Bradley is good then that's an advantage for us. Physically we added some athleticism but we don't have any big stuffers other than Hankins but heavy rotation expected to keep everybody fresh. Yannick might have a little something extra to give to a team he just played for too. Gruden better have many unseen offensive wrinkles added by then too cause if not then WTF is he doing? Making commercials so his 'brand' grows. Being a winning successful coach will do more for his 'brand' and he needs to get the team ready to play for at least 60 minutes/all 4 quarters as his game plans are garbage in the 4th quarter. If our players are healthy and on point with wanting a successful season, then everybody looks better. I'm willing to trade for a defensive leader to take this team and make them accountable. Problem is...I don't think that guy is available. So develop some fight in our guys but use their heads too. Probably asking too much as things open and the young guys see all that glitters in Vegas. The Ravens are just very good and Jackson is one of the most dynamic players in the league. It's a tough game to open the season with especially with a new DC/a ton of new defensive players and a very young, inexperienced OL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also sucked against the run last year. Ya the Raiders are going to get blown out just like last year with NO. I know you don't like Gruden or Carr but months is too long of a time frame to give them to come up with a game plan. Plus the Raiders always do well with it beginning of part of the season I'm more scared about the second half of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They where 6-5 and then they won 5 in a row but only one team had winning record and that was the Browns. They never went to the west coast, they didn't play on Sunday and then on Thursday.

NYRaider Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Being a Raiders fan teaches you optimism. We legit had the worst defense in the history of the franchise last year and everyone's acting like we're going to be a defensive juggernaut this year, lol.

Multiple people in this thread have referenced how easy it is to stop Lamar like we'll be able to do it. He's putting up 45+ against us.

Because wins loses are only on QBs 😆😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you didnt even argue it, cause you know 100% that if we did lose that game 35-45 youd be blaming Carr instead of the D. Your hate is next level, i can respect you sticking to your gut on it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hate is next level, i can respect you sticking to your gut on it lol Our offense has taken a significant step down over the last 6 games in each of the last two seasons while we were 6-4 and in the playoff hunt. Over the first 10 games during the last two seasons combined: 25.5 ppg, 30+ points in 8/20 games, 12-8 record Over the final 6 games during the last two seasons combined: 19.6 ppg, 30+ points in 2/12 games, 3-9 record Fricking Derek Carr Edited May 12, 2021 by NYRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
