Official Silver & Black Thread

If my Raiders have faith and trust in each other and play hard all the way out, I can see the remaining game results looking like this:

10/30: Raiders vs. Saints (L)
11/6: Raiders vs. Jags (W)
11/13: Colts vs. Raiders (W)
11/20: Raiders vs. Donkeys (W)
11/27: Raiders vs. Seagulls (L)
12/4: Chargers vs. Raiders (W)
12/8: Raiders vs. Lambs (L)
12/18: Pats vs. Raiders (W)
12/24: Raiders vs. Stealers (L)
1/1/23: 9ers vs. Raiders (W)
1/8/23: Chefs vs. Raiders (W)

Hope I'm wrong about the "L's" though...

Although my Raider was favored by about 1 point, I didn't think they could win but gotta at least show up...kinda of like what I said about my 9ers last week...

Getting shut out like that when you're favored is just ugly, very disappointed.. .

[theking]

I'm a Raider Nation member and I'm NOT "feeling good"...As I've said back in January, should've just given the coach that the players believe in, trust and have faith in an opportunity after he took my Raiders to the playoff.

What's done is done so hope the coaches and players can find a way to do better..becaus e the shutout today was ugly.

Raiders can't be feeling good about their Josh McDaniels hire

Over the first two months of the NFL season, no head coach has gotten ripped more than Nathaniel Hackett of the Denver Broncos. Not even Matt Rhule, and the Carolina Panthers already fired him.

Well, let's take a look at the bottom of the AFC West standings after Week 8, shall we?

Maybe we need to shift at least some of the Hackett jokes and slander to McDaniels, who is having a bad time of it in his second go-around as a head coach. If we go by record, Hackett has been better than McDaniels this season. You just haven't heard as much about how bad McDaniels has been.

The Raiders were listless Sunday in a 24-0 loss against a New Orleans Saints team that came in with a 2-5 record and was without receivers Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry, and standout cornerback Marshon Lattimore. The Raiders trailed 17-0 at halftime and showed no signs of life.

Derek Carr had 43 yards passing in the first half against a defense that has struggled most of the season. Just to show the first half was no fluke, the Raiders came out flat in the second half and immediately gave up a long touchdown to Alvin Kamara. Carr took a ton of punishment and was replaced in the fourth quarter by Jarrett Stidham. It wasn't a competitive game.

The Raiders shouldn't be 2-5. They were a 10-win playoff team last season, and then added Davante Adams in the offseason. Maybe the Raiders should have kept Rich Bisaccia. He had five losses in 12 games as the Raiders' interim head coach last season. McDaniels has five in his first seven.

The Raiders were a bit lucky last season and a bit unlucky this season. But some of the Raiders' bad luck this season is their record in close games, and some of that is coaching.

NFL team owners couldn't give up the idea of McDaniels being a great head coach. They didn't quit on him after he bombed with the Broncos many years ago. They didn't cross him off the list after he told the Indianapolis Colts he'd take their job but backed out before he got on the plane for his introductory news conference. Everyone ignored that practically all Bill Belichick assistants have failed as head coaches, and McDaniels had already failed once.

I’m willing to give coach a chance. It’s time to tank the season.

RIP RG:

Raiders Hall of Famer Ray Guy, considered the greatest punter ever, dies at age 72

Ray Guy made the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a punter.

You can sum up his greatness in that one statement. Punters don't get the same level of respect as those who play offense or defense, but Guy did. He is considered the greatest punter ever, the template for the position since he broke in with the Oakland Raiders nearly five decades ago. The award given to the best punter in college football is the Ray Guy Award, which is telling.

Since my Raiders are in FL playing the Jaguars this weekend, I wonder if this Jaguar fan also supports my Raiders  :

[theking]

Man, favored by 2.5 points over the Jags and still loss, getting ugly. Disappointing for sure but my Raiders are my team through thick and thin...

[ProudLao]

That’s for sure, but damn, we can’t play ball for four quarters.

[DuMa]

I grew up watching phil sims with them giants.   Glad to see him on TV as an analyst today.

[ProudLao]
