Was over there in 2011 (4 days in Edinburgh), would go back tomorrow if I could. Incidentally, I was wearing my Raiders hoodie when we flew into Heathrow. First thing anyone said to me in London was “Hell yeah, go Raiders.” I was up in Aberdeen and Inverness. But yeah, same all around. Hoping to get moved back over eventually. And yep, I had the same flying into Heathrow and again in Edinburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bosses here that are hometowners are still pissed off at me for the home opener last year. They even tried sending me stuff to do before the Ravens game since we can "technically" work til 10. Now we have a shut down looming, and they're all sad they gave their tickets away beforehand 😄. Week 4 is the Saints true home opener. Karma for a crappy bunch.

And of course I’m biased with it being my home town, but on a serious note there are plenty of Raiders fans about. I’ve watched a few games in the bars on a Sunday and you’ll always hear some cheering when we score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans getting cocky. We've hit the trifecta. Cross country road trip win in an early slot game and winning our home opener on MNF against a contender. Wait why does this sound so familiar? Oh it's because we did it last year as well with our wins over the Panthers and Saints. Then we played against a pretty average Patriots team, came in flat and got our arses whooped. If we play well this week and beat the breaks off Miami it will be more impressive to me then our first two wins. Over the last couple of years we've been able to play well in big games but we always seem to ish the bed against bad/average teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were supposed to Tank For Tua all the way back in like 2018. The first game Carr doesn't ball out, my guess is someone will start screaming Quit For Quinn 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last couple of years we've been able to play well in big games but we always seem to ish the bed against bad/average teams. Actually yeah I agree wholeheartedly with this. Tell me their biggest problem as being that they can beat anyone and lose to anyone. If they can’t win this game it shows that we could never believe in them. winning this game would prove that they’ve been in their own worst enemy which is hype. Do I think they’re in a better position this year than last year or the year before to do that ? yes because they have the right veterans on this team as opposed to last year where they have fake alphas like Malik Collins and Abram. I also think you’re the type of team that can be anyone and lose to anyone when you have a really good office but you have a really bad defense because anyone can score on you right now our defense is playing much better than I’ve ever seen them Play since 2010. this week will be very telling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakdb36 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Difference with last year is the defense was already playing bad while we were winning those first 2 games. I'm not expecting the offense to have a great game this week against a talented secondary. I can't wait to see the dline though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
