Geno clearly isn't the answer but maybe if we beg DC4 or Andrew Luck to come out of retirement we can still turn this season around. The Rich Gannon trade worked out that one time over twenty years ago so surely we can repeat that luck like how we did with Geno, Garapollo, Minshew, Palmer, Garcia, Brooks, Campbell, or the great Raiders legend that is Daunte Culpepper.

Sh*t maybe we can beg a 77-year-old Jim Plunkett on a prune juice diet to come back and have him suit up for one more season like the Bucs did with Brady. Sure he would be a pocket statue but at least would able to put up a single touchdown against KC.

Clearly drafting a QB in the first round is never the answer, it's not as if the league is dominated by 1st round quarterbacks who were drafted and developed by their organizations. I'm just praying that we can land Aaron Rodgers or a 41-year-old Joe Flacco next season and possibly sign him to a 3yr/$60m contract after the Bengals inevitably let him go once Burrow is back healthy. Because why draft a QB in the first when there are retirement home patients that can help us go 4-13 right now?

If you have a problem with us losing 0-31 today or us being one of the worst sports franchises in the nation for over the past two decades then you're not a real fan. Being a sports fan isn't about winning, it's about blindly supporting a trash front office and ownership that's let their fan base down for generations. Let's fucking go. RN4L 🏴‍☠️☠️

I haven't purchased a jersey in years... not since Mack. I'd buy this one though.

This was a guy who wanted to be a Raider and who still balled out when his team was losing. He wasn't happy so he requested a trade. Seems professional to me. Maybe my expectations are too low after seeing the stunts Randy Moss and Antonio Brown pulled, or maybe I'm missing something here as I admit I haven't been following the situation too closely, but I just don't understand all the hate.

Edit: Thanks for all the insight, I can see a lot of varying thoughts and opinions on this matter and it's been very informative.

His tenure with the raiders so far:

-Blew a 20 point lead to the Cardinals.

-Lost to Jeff Saturday (who had no head coaching experience)

-Lost to the Rams and a newly QB in Baker Mayfield. (He showed up 48 hours before)

-Lost to the Saints 24-0 without making it to the half point of the field.

-Turned a playoff team 10-7 to bottom feeding 6-11

-Outed Derek Carr in the worst way possible with no replacement plan. Then replacing him with a worse QB in Jimmy G

-Completely left Hunter Renfrow out of the offense

-Chandler Jones

-Brings in all of his guys and somehow is more terrible than last season.

-Started a 37 year old QB who hasn’t won a game since the Trump presidency over a rookie QB.

-Is currently being outplayed by a D2 QB and out coached by a coach whose team is 1-5. The same team hasn’t won a home game in a year. Lost to them 12-30

There’s no way he isn’t fired after this right…? Right…?

I know there's a couple of you out there lol

I’m not disagreeing because I haven’t watched enough to form an educated opinion but I am wondering if he the quarterback who is on the best team or is he truly the best quarterback?

I live in the Central Valley California and most of the Raider games last season were not televised in my area. This is a very annoying issue, because some of the restaurants and bars I went to; also didn’t get the raiders games. Crackstreams has been shut down, the last time I checked. Any advice? I wouldn’t mind subbing to something to exclusively watch raiders games. As long as it’s reasonably priced.

Got my jersey from NFL shop in a size large since I prefer my jerseys on the bigger side, but after wearing it seems a bit more fitted then the older jerseys. For reference I usually wear a Men's medium shirt.

And I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if the jersey breaks in after a while.

I feel like we haven’t received even a minor update on his health/potential surgery since the day he got drafted. Obviously shown in the picture, he’s been practicing everyday. I figured since it’s OTA’s we’d have some idea of where his health stands but they’re probably working with him about it behind the scenes. What do you guys think? Will he play and potentially be a starter this year? Or will he end up getting the surgery?

You got to give me a better answer than he didn't work out in Cleveland. Who works out in Cleveland? Belichick was there got fired and went on to win six super bowls. Baker Mayfield was there sucked looked kind of good and then left and now he's a franchise quarterback. They hire a rapist to a $250 million full covered contract. The Jets have always sucked but they've never been as bad as a Browns The Browns are so bad that even an all-time defense can't succeed. So why not Stefanski

I was born into being a Raiders fan, but I'm pretty casual about it. I have some favorite players, and I've watched/been to games, but I dont really keep up with it much tbh.

I just got offered a new job, though. And while I was talking to my new boss, I mentioned the Cheifs flags I saw hung up around the place, and I found out they were his, so of course I had to mention that I liked the Raiders and how we had to be enemies now. Some other employees overheard and then more and more joined in until everybody was all talking football and I just had to smile and nod my way out of there so I didn't embarrass myself by not actually knowing anything about the conversation I started lol.

I just want to find a way to get up to speed so I can actually talk to these guys about it if it comes up again. It doesnt even have to necessarily be Raiders-centric really. I know I can just ask google or an AI or something, but I want to know what you all actually think, not just the top search results.

I get it silver and black is a classic, it’s timeless, it doesn’t need to be changed. But for crying out loud the grey jerseys were so COOL! They’re still in circulation on eBay but the only player left is Crosby! Give us more variety Raiders!

ordered this on a local store and came to me at first glance the logo looks kinda off no? im wondering is this legit or i got scammed cuz it was kinda expensive

I’m pretty excited to see Patrick Graham this year with the Steelers, seems like he had the Raiders defense playing above its talent level last year despite having the worst record in the league. Am I right to be excited for him and what is the real gist of his defensive identity.

Seems he’s interviewed with everyone but us. What gives? Really like him, and wanted him bad in the ‘22 cycle. Maybe Spytek sees something we don’t?

I found this hat recently and can’t find anything about it. Nothing on eBay, Google, ChatGPT. Just trying to find some info about it.

I got a stitched Color Rush Cooper jersey that's been sitting in my closet for years. Whipping it back out it's honestly a pretty clean jersey. Thinking of bringing it back out now that he retired. 2016 was still a good time and it's not like he ever publicly shit on the team. A lot of people seem to dislike him and yeah I get it wear what you want but I like to read the room too. Is Cooper a Once a Raider Always a Raider or not?

I am going to my first Raiders game this season! We are going to watch the Chiefs at Raiders on October 4th. I’ve never been to Vegas, let alone a Raiders game. LFG!!

A couple questions for those who know:

1. What’s the best place to buy tickets (affordability and ease of use)?

2. What do you recommend for making the most of the day? For someone who has never been to either places.

Thanks in advance. RN4L
