The NFL Conference Champs Game Day Thread (AKA The Raiders Coach Game)

[Attyla]

Here it is fellas, the final game before the big game. Who you got, what is ideal for the Raiders and are there free agents playing that you like for us next year. Popcorn at the ready, beer in your hand. I have some Blue Moon on hand. What are you making to enjoy the game? I am making a simple chicken and rice. Weather here is horrible so I Amazon Fresh'd my menu for the week so that I did not have to rush to the store. Ah the joy of winter.

I guess I will go with:
Pats vs Rams for the final game. But anyone other than the Broncos is absolutely fine. I like Stafford, I don't mind Maye. Vrabel getting a crack at another ring after TN dumped him would be justice in my mind for that bitch Amy Adams. And yea, everyone I know around here hates that....female body part....lol

Road tripped through Alabama last year and made a few impromptu stops throughout, it was the first time I've been in that state. Surprised at how much I liked it

We get a bad rap for being inbred rednecks, but as far as Huntsville goes it is one of the top city's to live in the USA, and top of sphere in Technology & Defense of this country, we are in the top 3 of targets for first strikes in a nuke war if that tells you anything:) Luv Huntsville..Roll Tide!

Sam Darnold

3 TD's

Well, if the Raiders don't have a coach in the next two weeks we know who they want.

I know I'm Captain Obvious.

My guess is they will ask for a verbal commitment at Kubiak’s 2nd interview this week—It will be in person. If he says he’s not fully committed and McDaniel is 100% committed then it’s highly likely McDaniel is the next Head Coach. The problem with waiting until after the Super Bowl for Kubiak without am strong commitment is either he could take the Bills job or not leave Seattle at all, and then we have to take 3rd choice if McDaniel signs as the Chargers OC.

Rather have McDermott over McDaniel

Are you comparing California to Texas and Florida? Most things in California are going to be more expensive because the economy is strong and wages are high. Income taxes are higher in CA than those other two states, but they have higher taxes in other areas, such as property tax.

Gas prices in Cali drive a lot of costs way up. Gas doesn't have to be $1.50/gallon higher than the national average, but the state is run by commie stooges, including gov hair gel.

Darnold would have been better than Geno, but not good enough to make us a good team. We might have won enough to still have Pete Carroll and not have the first overall pick. I've moved on from that debate and into 2026. It's time for a new coach and Mendoza

LET’S GO MENDO!!!

[LayneStaley]

All I know is we need a Defense and an Oline to put with Fernando.

Including INTs and Fumbles…

Darnold 25….and going to SB
Geno 21….won 3 games and will be cut

By the way that’s 1 and 2 in total TOs by a QB.

Looks like the Seahawks are 4 1/2 point favorites in the early going. My guess is they cover that easily.

I would rather take a sharp pencil to the eye than live California!

Awww, bummer.

Patriots don’t score points like the Seahawks. Raiders beat the Patriots for Gods sakes, it’s gonna be a blood bath.

I lived in CA for 63 years. Great place. Loved it. Moved to Southwest OH 3 years ago. Great place, I love it.

In general, there are small minded morons wherever you live, but for the most part, people are cool.

Just realize that the BS you see on TV is a very small slice of real life.

[Jeevo]

We’re not going to do the fighting of the f[raiders_icon]cked up world here. Football is a great escape, let’s stick to it.

to be fair, the Patriots are not the same team compared to when the Raiders played them week 1...

[Goodtimes333]

It'll be interesting to see how the Seahawks can run the ball against the Pats run defense. I don't think the Pats have much of a chance. The Seahawks really don't have a weakness. The Pats Oline pass blocking just isn't up to par. Both QB's can make mouth breather mistakes but I imagine Darnold plays better due to his supporting cast. Oh, I'm glad the Broncos lost. f[raiders_icon]ck those guys
