Raiders have been like the red-headed, deformed step-child that you keep locked in a cage, under the stairs. You let him out twice a year on Sunday for a few drunken laughs with friends...then stuff him back where he belongs.
Since the NFL seems hell-bent on pretending this team is legit after a 15 year absence...A dedicated repository is needed for all things negative about this ass-boil of a team.
Donks seem destined for AFCW purgatory for the next half decade...so they dont really count anymore.

No one is disputing that. Heck, I wish the hype would die down. But you are insulating that the refs are going to carry the Raiders when in reality, the Raiders are usually near the top for penalties. [Reply]
I've been a Chiefs fan all my life, for the same reason that I've been a Royals fan, because I'm from Kansas City and I value loyalty. The last time the Chiefs won the AFL/AFC, I was 4 years old. The Raiders have won 4 conference titles since then, when I was 11, 15, 18 and 37 years old. The week before I turned 16, the Raiders came into Arrowhead and beat the Chiefs on a late 4th-quarter TD, 21-16, while 26,307 fans were in attendance. That was Marv Levy's 4th-from-last game with the Chiefs. After Marv Levy left the Chiefs, he won 4 AFC championships with the Bills. Although the Chiefs haven't won a conference title in close to 50 years, there have been highlights for being a Chiefs fan. Indeed, during the 14 seasons that the Chiefs didn't make the playoffs, from 1972 through 1985, and during the two 22-year droughts in between Chiefs playoff victories, from 1969 to 1991 and again from 1993 to 2015, we Chiefs fans could at least take solace in the fact that every once in a while, we might potentially either give the Raiders a close game, actually beat them, or have home field advantage locked up through the playoffs, which we were always savvy enough to conserve by only using one game per opportunity. Sure, that might not seem like much compared to actual Super Bowl Appearances, but that's only if you're being objective. Besides, the AFC championship trophy is named for our founder. Go Chiefs!

I'm reposting from #144....
Raiders net points of +31 is the lowest total, for a 12-4 team, in NFL history. The late, one-sided, officiating made this glaring anomaly of a stat possible....it's never been done before. You have to barely win every close game just to pull it off..
The margin of victory was 2 1/2 points...
You were the luckiest 12-4 team in NFL history....but hey, at least the NFL ripped off Vegas's schools, tax payers and community services for the next 30 years...and conned Oakland out of their team in the process. Nothing like billionaires screwing over the public...then tricking them into loving it. [Reply]

You're in a safe space now, BlackOp. Go on. Show us on the doll where the Raiders hurt you. [Reply]
Well, he is right. You were GIFTED 4 victories. They weren't even trying to hide it. Weird how a sudden move to Vegas causes magical late game calls. [Reply]

The Raiders haven't hurt me...the billionaire class is hurting everyone. When funding for schools drops and teachers lose their jobs...all so they city of Vegas can meet their financial commitments (debt) and have a NFL team...yeah.
What's the Vegas over/under on the refs killing Titan's scoring drives? Timely holding calls vs. pass interference? Penalties in the final 4 minutes? Points taken off the board?
I'll be keeping track...
There is no way the NFL let's the Raiders lose the opener to Tennessee...they have a tough late schedule. [Reply]

They won those 4 games because Carr drove his team 80 yards and won those games with under 90 seconds left in the game...
Something you as a Chief fan has never experienced a Chief QB ever do- And likely will never see that happen-
That's why Carr was up for MVP last year before he broke his leg- [Reply]
