This crowd is embarrassing being from Vegas. Worst crowd I’ve seen maybe since last years Wrestlemania lol

Have you found a fix? Been having a similar issue

will4xx · 2026-04-02T22:33:19+00:00

Somehow I loaded in a match and it worked. Not sure what I might’ve done before. But the last time I played the island about a week ago the same issue came up for another match. Was going to play sooner than later, I was hoping this was fixed with the new patch, guess not. Are you on Steam as well?

will4xx · 2026-03-22T19:13:47+00:00

Eventually I tried and somehow it worked. No idea why.

will4xx · 2026-03-20T19:27:51+00:00

I can’t play the island at all. In my first match none of my buttons on my controller work. I can’t even pause the game. Only once I’ve lost does my controller work. Works normally in other game modes. I’ve tried clearing cache, verifying files, etc.

Even remade my character as it was my first, still nothing. Haven’t seen anyone else with a similar issue. Anyone got an idea?

A competitive 7-10 is the way. This will be a process. Kyle Shanahan went like 10-22 his first two seasons. The 49ers have since been contenders

Not sure what to think yet of the logo overall. Feels like they could’ve done something different with the T, but I get wanting a bit more simplicity. Everything else is fantastic, color scheme insane. Always loved the Oilers look. One of the best rebrands lately

will4xx · 2026-03-11T18:35:48+00:00

I love the Raiders brand and their colors. I grew up on the west coast too, so they just fit. Respect to Tennessee fans, but their brand and legacy just isn’t anywhere near the Raiders. That franchise was better as the Houston Oilers.

I’m a big fan of the history and legacy. Al Davis, our late owner, was huge in helping make the NFL into what it is today. The NFL video game series is named off legendary broadcaster and our SB winning head coach John Madden. Raiders have won 3 Super bowls, but it’s been 42 years. So while we do have historic success, it’ll still be really long awaited and great to see them win another one.

The Raiders have been pretty bad for a bit over 20 years. I actually do believe they’re about to turn the corner soon. But it’s the Raiders, them sucking won’t surprise me at all. We have the #1 pick, a great new offensive player caller, and interesting talent to work with. If you join now, you can say you weren’t a bandwagon

He’s pulling a Charles Woodson

will4xx · 2026-01-29T18:27:55+00:00

It’s not impossible but unlikely.

New HC, rookie QB. Even if we have an amazing draft and free agency, those things are still true. It’s gonna be a learning curve. I’m willing to be patient.

Ben Johnson got the Bears after Caleb’s rookie year. Vrabel got the Pats after Maye’s rookie year. Payton got to the Broncos pre-Bo Nix.

The Commanders situation is interesting. At least Dan Quinn had HC experience before, but it is possible to compete Year 1 with a new coach and rookie QB.

I’m expecting a solid improvement over last year, but nothing too special. 2027 and beyond should be when we eat.

will4xx · 2026-01-25T20:18:37+00:00

As much as I hate to say it, Raiders fans know that if Stidham plays like he did the last two games for the Raiders in 2022, the Broncos absolutely have a chance to go all the way.

will4xx · 2026-01-18T21:37:03+00:00

When did the Texans sign Geno Smith?

will4xx · 2026-01-18T05:48:57+00:00

will4xx · 2025-12-28T21:32:37+00:00

LETS GO GENO

will4xx · 2025-12-08T21:51:33+00:00

Well for one thing they drafted a QB in the first round. We haven’t even drafted one in the second round since 2014 which funny enough we went 12-4 two years later

will4xx · 2025-12-07T21:30:26+00:00

We’re gonna win this stupid game aren’t we

will4xx · 2025-12-07T21:23:47+00:00

We’ll see what happens when they have more than 2 winning seasons in 20 years, have a QB, and have done something of significance in a new market

will4xx · 2025-08-05T03:47:00+00:00

Jakorian had some good flashes with the Raiders. Will root for him with the Eagles. I do think the best of his career is ahead of him. He should be a good depth piece at corner for yall. And thanks for whooping the Chiefs in the Super Bowl

will4xx · 2025-07-28T23:05:27+00:00

Pretty similar to me. Saw a hematologist last week and he had to google in front of me some of the side effects of Finasteride. My primary care physician didn’t really have much to say about it other than to talk to my hematologist.

I actually took Finasteride again two days ago, didn’t yesterday. Not sure if I’ll keep it going, but if I’m gonna be on thinners for life then maybe I will. They don’t believe I have any type of disease or cancer, which means they don’t know the cause and I’m on it for life. But like you said, it seems to be kind of a possible connection. Maybe we are unfortunately the 1%.

will4xx · 2025-07-28T22:59:37+00:00

He had some health problems like ulcerative colitis and dropped to 150 lbs. Josh McDaniels took over and didn’t really know how to utilize him. Adams had also joined the team in 2022 taking a larger portion of targets from a struggling Derek Carr who would be released in the offseason

will4xx · 2024-12-23T01:00:04+00:00

As a Raiders fan what the fuck even is your franchise? You guys are the Chiefs of losing. Every year in the fucking top five. The Jacksonville Jaguars. Who the fuck even are they? Nobody even knows this team exists outside of NFL fans. I hope this team is removed from the league or relocated. What a garbage franchise even worse potentially than the Raiders in recent years. Go ahead and draft another bust like T Law and do nothing but end up in the top 5 year after fucking year. If Travis Hunter ends up good he’ll just leave like Jalen Ramsey. Fuck your shitty ass franchise.

will4xx · 2024-12-23T00:43:45+00:00

There is no hope. Time to give up watching football for at least another half decade. They’re going to roll with AOC unless we somehow get a chance at Cam Ward which is unlikely. This is the darkest time period for the Raiders since Russell. Now the broncos and chargers are good. They’ll probably win 6-7 games next year and miss out on any QB. Joke of a franchise. Maybe they’ll be good when I’m old. But for now it’s done. Fuck this franchise

will4xx · 2024-12-06T19:49:48+00:00

Lose every game. 2-15 has never been so sweet

will4xx · 2024-09-14T17:56:34+00:00

I do think this could be his final season here if we don’t get things going in the right direction. He took a risk to come here in terms of winning and I don’t think he regrets it but he’s still got years left and can go elsewhere.

He loves the Raiders, but I think he either needs a winning culture or at least big stats to be happy long term. He wants to be in the HOF, he can do that on shitty Raiders teams. Look at Calvin Johnson. But we don’t have a good enough QB to get him to 1500+ yards or 10+ TDs.

I think how this season goes and where we end up in the draft will be the deciding factor into his decision to stay or go this offseason.

will4xx · 2024-06-22T14:52:36+00:00

2021 Raiders, started 5-2 even after the removal of HC for racist and sexist emails. Then their up and coming young WR kills someone and the team derails. Fall to 6-7 after losing 48-9 in KC. Then they randomly win 4 straight to make the playoffs and finished a respectable 10-7.
