Game Day Thread, Raiders Visit Washington
Raiders are still a dog in this one even with Mariota tossing the ball. I call that a bad lie but who am I to know. Weather will be nice, so a good day if you are in the area to watch a game.
Prediction, Raiders cover and win 27-17

Why not shut down the run and force mariota to make plays with his arm. But we keep playing the pass like it’s his strength

A QB, and O-line will fix all problems. Unfortuantely they don't have that.Dr Death wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 12:37 pm PC, Spytek, Brady and Kelly............... not the answer..... what is?

When is the last time a Raider team played with heart? I honestly cannot remember. We know they're running it right at us and we can't do anything to slow it down. Bad coaching and a lack of effort.

Yea.......... f[raiders_icon]ck Fields. I watched enough of him with the Buckeyes. I told everyone he would never be a viable NFL QB.Sloth_Fratelli wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 12:40 pm Easy, gamble on Darnold, Jones, even Fields.
All guys under 30, none of them would’ve costed us a pick. All taken in top 10(Fields maybe out of that).
We could’ve gambled that they became like a Baker Mayfield, the guy the Dolphins had who went to Tennessee.
Just hope a talented quarterback that finally puts it together. But naw, we trade for the oldest one of the bunch whose team was desperate to get rid of after 10 wins.

I’d actually keep the coaches, minus Pete’s kid, and groom the DL coach(Leonard) to eventually take over. Fire Spytek, tell Brady to butt o it & bring back Telesco or finally give Ed Dodds his shotDr Death wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 12:37 pm PC, Spytek, Brady and Kelly............... not the answer..... what is?

Probably after Gruden got fired. That was the last time.Roll Tide Raider wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 12:41 pm When is the last time a Raider team played with heart? I honestly cannot remember.

Coaching makes a difference. Davis just tends to hire the worst ones (0-5 so far, right). I'm sure he'll hit before he dies (he won't).

I agree somewhat. The coaching still sucks. PC aint the guy.... along with Kelly or Graham.... from what Ive seen so far.CHAMPION316 wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 12:41 pm A QB, and O-line will fix all problems. Unfortuantely they don't have that.

I agree OL is worse but when protection holds up he doesn’t get rid of the ball. It’s not about blaming Jeanty so much as it was he was a stupid pick and I don’t see him as eliteRoll Tide Raider wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 12:37 pm We can't run block or pass block at all. I don't know how you can blame this on the running back and quarterback. Neither have the time to get the downfield.
But our oline has been ass for a long time. Same song and dance with a different coach in a different year.

Keep Spytek. Dude ain't the reason we suck. He's not even a year into his GM job.Dr Death wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 12:37 pm PC, Spytek, Brady and Kelly............... not the answer..... what is?
Force Davis to sell the team so we can get an actual owner who f[raiders_icon]cking cares. That's where you start.

It was the right call to go for it - the lost point doesn't hurt too much, but had they made it, it would have been a potential two score deficit. Trying to power through a run up the middle with this line was stupid, though.
