I feel for you and your family, best of luck going forward. Nothing worse then trying to relax on a sunday by watching football, and being a Raider fan. Anything but relaxing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a classic Al Davis pick. Huge HWS guy. I remember all the mock drafts were having us select him due to Al Davis wanting the best athletes Get the best athlete and teach him football. May of worked in the 70s or 80s, but in 2000s not so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geezy Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I remember we were all terrified we’d take Campbell at 7, instead we got him in the 4th rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackinBlack Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) while I agree our O needs to play better; this shows what Ive been trying to sayPoints per game- 14th Drives per game- 32nd Points per drive- 9th Avg field position- 30th Time per drive- 1st 3rd down%- 22nd RZ TD%- 22nd Offensive Turnovers- 7, Tied best We dont get enough chances in a game, because our D cannot get off the field. Need to obviously clean up 3rd and RZ O, this has been true for what 5 years minimum haha. When you have the lowest number of drives per game, it is not a good recipe for scoring a lot. On the flip, we have long drives to give our D time to rest. Edited November 16, 2022 by BackinBlack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackinBlack Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 LOL another YIKES stat for the D. Making every QB play better than Mahomes lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackinBlack Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Our O, again, average, needs to play better no argument there. Our D, giving up 20% more than the average the opposing team scores. (This is not good or average for the D, this is very very bad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilshark69 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I liked Rey Rey, definitely. I’ve always touted the islanders. They’re just bad mofos, anybody who could canoe around the pacific to go to war gets my respect. Lol. I didn’t hate dhb, but would never have advocated taking him at 7.....ever. Passing up crabs pissed me off so bad. And that’s what I posted back then, if AD had his heart set on dhb, then trade back. But AD never traded down. Hindsight being 20/20 obviously dhb wasn’t even worth a third. But at least we’d have had extra picks..... to waste that is. 4 yrs, 4 bad nicknames....jawalrus, mcfragile, Darius heyward stone hands and slowlando. Jeez. SMH. Btw, I’m goin Denver 28-17.

big_palooka Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Lost in all of this nobody is talking about how the Raiders STs sucks too. Kicker and punter are fantastic. Coverage units have been suspect and they are 30th in average field position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You rag on the defense so much lol take away the defensive tds and we’re 23rd in points per game. but you’ll be happy cause the def is just going to get worse. Everyone tapping out, literally don’t know who’s gonna start from week to week on def. you think the offense will get better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take away points from every other team lol, how many times do i need to say that LOL. Can you understand why what you are doing makes no sense? You are altering our stats, while changing no other teams. Arizona has 5 D/st scores. ... - I hope the D and O both get better. I have much more faith that the O could get better vs the D. - The D has no talent. It needs to be addressed. The D sucks, it needs help.

jpaulthe1st Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Raiders over Broncos : 27-17 I’ve seen this movie too many times before. We will come out and somehow manage to play competently, Carr will play well enough to quiet the naysayers, and we will win a meaningless game. This will cost us valuable draft position and cause us to lose out on potentially franchise changing talent. Carr’s penchant for winning meaningless games when the lights are off has arguably done just as much damage as Gruden, Mayock, or Reggie.

Slow day at work so I actually subtracted def points from every team who actually had that stat. we ended up a 18th on offense points per game Wonder where the def actually would be ranked if I subtract the short field fgs and other points the offensive failures pins on the def 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little below, but 18/32 is around average. Our team is built to be better than that no doubt. But losing 2 of the top 4 guys obviously hurts, even still we should be around 12 IMO. To your last point, I wonder where the O would be ranked if they werent last in possessions, close to last in starting position, last in turnovers 5 (gotta get rid of the 2 returns that we took points away from them on), etc. They have the least amount of chances per game to score, and the 3rd worst starting position. Also, I wonder where our D would be if we werent tied for 1st in fewest give aways? Or having long drives, or yards per drive etc Edited November 16, 2022 by BackinBlack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
