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.
Carr -"You always want people saying good things around this time," Carr said. "But also we know that that’s only because of what happened last year; that's not even this team. We know what we need to do better.
"We didn't even beat Kansas City ... last year. So I don't know why everyone is so excited."
They've watched the film on all those horrible, late, game saving calls...they know.
Carr seems as confused as myself as to why they are getting non-stop hype.
Just saw Charlie Casserly say "The Raiders are the best team in the AFCW"...I guess based on their 3-3 divisional record from last season? Their 0-2 record against KC...games in which they weren't even competitive? Then I saw he was wearing a NFL Network shirt...he's got his league-mandated script to repeat. [Reply]

Mack is going to get 30 sacks (just like Von Miller did a few years back), dontchaknow. Of course they're going to win it. [Reply]
The hate for Oakland isn't quit there yet...not to Denver levels anyway. They have to actually beat KC, someday, then it will happen pretty fast...
What IS starting to piss me off is how every NFL Network mouthpiece already is crowning them AFCW champs...bizarre. Like it's a done deal....
The fact there are very few Raiders fans here...is because they have been terrible forever and haven't beaten the Chiefs in two years. There is no ground for shit-talking.... [Reply]

Soon as the refs try to rob KC of a win...the hate will return. They (the refs) were pretty consistent in keeping the blatant rigging out of divisional match-ups last year.
I'm not actually worried about the Bay-turds as a team....I'm worried about the un-warranted media-generated hype. There is a universal agreement amongst NFL Network puppet-heads that this team is a shoo-in for the AFCC game...which is dangerous. We've seen this play-out before with Manning.
Even Carr said for them to slow their roll...but there is an agenda working. Breaking his leg threw a monkey-wrench in the script last year...
For the youngsters [myself barely among them], it's a double whammy. Because even when the Raiders were competitive in the 90s, they were not competitive against the Chiefs. If there's a single greatest thing about the 90s that isn't Derrick Thomas, it's an undefeated decade against the Raiders.
Of course, Gunther and Chuckie ended that with aplomb knocking us out of the playoffs 48-45 in a last minute FG in 2000. [Reply]

Man, it's amazing what one playoff win does for people... [Reply]

Former Chief Tony Richardson say Oaklands the only team that can take out the Patriots-

Burn your Richardson jeseys-
Well...if the BayTurds get their special "Mexico-style" officiating like against the Texans...they can beat anyone.
It will interesting if the NFL tries that shit against Brady, down there, this year.
Del Rio cant even be competitive against Reid...he's not going to beat Belichick/Brady with a crappy defense. Carr sucks against top teams anyway...2-9. Those two coming against Osweiler... [Reply]
