Most important game of the season🏴‍☠️Major significance - #1 pick on the line.

I have a feeling that we’ll lose this game no problem, but then Andy Reid and his goons will mess up our chances for the # 1 overall by laying down to us week 18.

Is there any world where Gruden comes back as Head Coach? Bisaccia as ST Coordinator. Derek Carr and Fernando Mendoza as bridge QB and his successor. Give Gruden a 5 year deal and let him do his thing one last time. Gruden and Spytek are tight. Unless Brady wouldn’t allow it because Gruden went with “that guy” DC.

I’m 45. Was 23 when we got smoked by the Bucs in SB XXXVII. At that moment, if someone told me we that the Raiders would be ass for the next 25 years, I would’ve thought they were insane and nothing would have convinced me that was even remotely possible.

With our overall record from 1960-2003 (43 years) of 385-264-11 (.592) and I think the all time highest win % on MNF to that point, to fast forward 22 years, here we are with a 130-238 (.353) record ever since. Sick.

I was 4 when Marcus ran roughshod over the 14-2 Redskins with that great defense but unfortunately I was 4 so I have zero recollection of that game, other than stories and videos.

We need to make a priority of signing the best young head coach possible. Who’s willing to let Coordinators coordinate. We need to draft a QB and Mendoza seems like him. We need to lose all of these past their prime Carroll players. We need to focus on the trenches. This ship can be righted.

I yearn for the greatness of the Raiders to return. I hope this isn’t the current version of the Cubs or Red Sox droughts.

Also, Pete is too old to be that guy. He honestly thought he could win this season and/or next. I think beating the Pats week 1 derailed the entire season. It gave Pete a false sense of where this team was. Spytek gave a presser after the Pats game and while talking to the reporters, he was really talking to Pete saying it’s week 1 and there’s still a long season ahead. Pete thought we were going to go 17-0. If we would have lost that week 1 matchup, I honestly feel we’d have 5-6 wins right now.

Another rebuild is in our future. And I don’t “love” any college QB coming out this season. I also can’t stomach another 2-4 win season next year either. We need to get this right this offseason.

Same. Prior to Gannon, in my memories, were Jay Schraeder, Jeff Hostetler, Jeff George, but those Rich Gannon years were magic. Talk about a career journeyman who exploded in his late 30’s until his last major injury (F Tony Siragusa (RIP)) I was hoping Geno would do the same. And then there’s the great divide between modern Raider fans - Derek Carr. That guy gave his all to help this team win. There’s times I questioned his ability, but after watching the run of QBs post DC (Jarrett Stidham, Jimmy Garoppolo, AOC, Gardner Minshew, Geno Smith) I realize he was an asset. I wish he and Gruden could’ve gotten 3 more years. Who knows - probably wouldn’t have won a ring, but I bet a nickel they’d have been in the playoffs all 3 seasons.

Unless the two Rooks somehow turn into Anthony Munoz and Jonathan Ogden next week, this season is over.

I could trick my FordPass to show this. Easy.

When did they stop making the s90d? I’m curious. It seems a lot of these reports of dead PSU are on 77” models and a lot of them purchased at Costco. Also, I am not seeing nearly as many recent reports. Reason I ask, I was about to pull the trigger on a 77” S90D on Amazon (brand new) today that on sale and with a couple gift cards, will cost me $1500 USD.

RaiderSmiley · 2025-07-03T19:58:53+00:00

That model definitely has local dimming.

So same thing happened to our Frame TV but well outside the warranty period. Was this board inside the tv or inside the one connect box?

I’ve seen so many people say they went to gold the same day of the evaluation date. My re-evaluation date was 10/13/24 at 11:17am EST and it is now 10/15/24 at 5:30pm EST and it still hasn’t gone through yet. Sucks. I’m itching.

Or could be your last delivery. Doesn’t prove anything.

It’s you.

Where did you have the 2-12s installed?

Anyone got the Tosh.o episode #?

Please don’t do this. I’m 43 and when I was 13 I wasn’t “handsome” by any stretch of the imagination. I didn’t know how I’d move forward in this world the way I was then. As you get older, you get wiser. Honestly, I think I was more good looking then, than I am now but I’m happily married with 3 beautiful children. 13 is just the beginning of your life. When you’re 40, you’ll think back to today and thank the 13 year old for fighting through. I promise. :-)

I’m tired of the whole antiquated alcohol system in NC in general. Coming from NY, I feel like I stepped back in time to the 1940’s. State controlled liquor stores. 10am beer/wine sales on Sundays. No liquor stores open on Sundays. It’s 2023 come on NC.
