Game #1 at NE - Game and Post Game Thread

[RunOverByHubbard]

Here we go - new coach, new QB, new exciting RB, and a no-name defense. Not the toughest opening day match up possible as the Patriots also have issues. We are clearly in rebuild mode right? So if we lose I hope this board doesn’t go into melt down mode. Have fun with the new product Raiders fans

May today be the dawning of a new winning tradition for this hallowed franchise that we love so much.

Sounds a lot like Gruden’s locker room victory speeches.

To me, this is more of a player oriented celebration, rather than a coach in the middle doing all the cheering/talking. The team is leading the cheering, not the coach. Coach makes his points, team takes over for the celebration. They exude cohesiveness and confidence and love for their coach.

Gruden stood in the middle and did his thing. The clips I watched, players were sitting on benches, or standing around, listening to Gruden in the middle of the group. Chuckie being Chuckie. It was okay--it wasn't particularly inspirational.

That’s why you don’t cry before the game is played lol

You are right there if I cried about a Raider game I would seek Professional help

[HesterLayes]

started off like the greatest offense ever..after the script we struggled.i wondered if pete would get their shit together at halftime...they did.we haven't had that in a long long long time.

tough one next week.lfg

There will be some growing pains, but we're trending in the right direction. We finally have our head coach.

And a QB that buys us a number of years to find the next guy. Both are huge.

Agree the best part of this game & something we rarely see is "we got our Shit together"

Geno will be 35 in October. That is a lot of years left for a qb in this day and age.

[Hellbound]

This is a TEAM!

Yeah but no one yelled RAAAIIIIIDERS

[Jeevo]

Yup, he buys us 3-5 years I think.

[Hellbound]

Who's hating on Geno...most people had a wait & see attitude & he had a good game...I'm not sold yet, but he played a lot better than I thought he would...no need to make it a thing?

You & that Bo knows dude sure did make it a thing in the Geno thread and all offseason. One of you banged the drum really hard for Darnold instead of Geno too

He had a great game, but I wouldn't climb out on that 3-5 year limb lol

[RaiderandBulldog]

We’ve seen QBs play into their 40s at a high level.

Fight nice, kids . We're all on the same team.... we all have different takes at different times of the year. Some of us see things differently at different times for different reasons. In the end............... RAAAIIIIDERRRRS! I hope my AP impersonation came through.

[Scarpariello]

Ky Blu Kelly gives me some hope for our CBs. Seems like a baller. Nice adjustments at halftime for the D. I was worried after the 2nd quarter. Great to win game 1!
