    A lot of “ifs"

    There are exceptions , but I value your opinion. One thing is we don’t have a ton of draft capital and we (more than likely) are not going to have top 20 picks for at least a few years to come. If the Raiders would take the 32nd pick and 64th for an all world pass rusher like pass Crosby, it...

    Was it too easy?

    Agree as well. It very much reminded me of the Niner vs. Cowboys duels in the 90’s. You knew those two teams were leaps and bounds ahead of any AFC team they could possibly face.

    Never let the 9ers forget this...

    Might want to rewatch the NFCCG if you missed it.

    Debate with wife: "WORLD CHAMPIONS"

    There is no requirement to be US born to play NFL football. About 3 percent of players are international and the NFL actually grants a roster exemption to an international player for every team. Any player that plays for an international league does so because of their inability to qualify for...

    Holy Blast from the Past!

    Fixed it for you.

    Only Seattle!

    Meanwhile in the real world… Teachers will show up (as they are contractually obligated to do), notice there are a boatload of absent students, then decide to either watch the parade on TV or just have a no jeopardy study review during their class periods, perhaps offering a few extra credit...

    Holy Blast from the Past!

    Pretty good QB class right there. I’m glad Sam was first to get a ring, but as a “smaller market” fan, I hope Josh Allen wins a chip someday. He’s a guy who’s really easy to like.

    Home run pick

    There was always an amicable debate on who had greater influence and final say in the draft process during the last administration. I’m sure it was shared, but there has definitely been a shift in early round strategy now that JS clearly holds the deciding vote. I’m kind of leaning toward...

    Yucua

    Being a great football player just isn’t enough for this guy. He wants to be a sensation and build a brand but is too immature or too self absorbed to realize what constitutes a smart decision. Guys like this fizzle quickly if they don’t get reigned in fast enough. Stafford is in the sunset...

    Additions, Subtractions, and Cap Space

    We traded some decent draft capital to acquire Shaheed. I have a feeling we did it with the intent of keeping him around. You are right though, he was not a very effective receiver considering what we gave up. I think by the time he got comfortable we had started the transition to a run first...

    Rams/Niners in Australia

    I go to Australia twice a month. To be honest, heading west from the west coast is easier on my body than going to Europe. The flight can be brutal in coach, but these players will all have lay flats. Take off at about 11pm, watch a movie, eat some dinner, take an ambien and sleep for 7...

    Thank you raiders

    Just a tidbit. There are 32 teams and I’ve been to most of their forums and message boards throughout the year. Every single one you can find multiple threads and posts on how bad their head coach and coordinators suck and should be fired. After the Rams playoff win, I went on their game...

    My too 5 NFL teams this year

    Patriots ? That honestly surprises me. I honestly think they would have come in dead last in our division and would not have qualified for the playoffs had they been in the NFC with a median schedule. They back pedaled into the SB after barely beating Stidman and played a somewhat close...

    Gratz on the Lombardi...

    Here’s hoping your 2026 team stays healthy for the first time in a long time @Marvin49 , you guys will be potent once again. Thanks for the congratulations and happy 30th anniversary on the last time the Niners won a Super Bowl.

    Did Vrabel Know?

    The NE defensive looks early showed that Vrabel knew they weren’t going to be effective offensively. They were superlatively over aggressive in jumping routes and blitzing to try to create turnovers. They threw the kitchen sink at trying to rattle Darnold early. I don’t think you take such...

    Klint Kubiak 'fired up' about taking Raiders' coaching job

    Yep. It’s always easy to give advice to someone else’s decisions. I was thinking about this last week. Bottom line is there are 32 NFL coaching jobs in the world, most offering generational type stability for your family. You just can’t pass it up. Particularly when you used a defense to...

    Penalties

    Speaking of penalties …. Refs held their whistles for the most part and let the players decide. I thought the game was well officiated. A few missed calls on both teams which can always be expected. Nice job Shawn Smith and crew.

    Michael Dickson SB Performance

    💯 💯 💯 From ESPN’s Barnwell “The real star on special teams was punter Michael Dickson, who probably belonged right behind Walker and Witherspoon in the MVP discussion. Dickson punted seven times in this game, and in concert with an excellent Seahawks coverage unit, he yielded just 4 return...

    Bills hire Joe Brady as Head Coach

    They promoted him actually to VP of football ops. The bottom line is they have drafted horribly and have less talent overall than they did 5 years ago. Dude had to create a smokescreen to shield his incompetence.

    Riq Woolen Apology

    I totally get you brother and respect your opinion. My issue is having someone else to deal with opposing WR’s next year. Riq’s stats are actually pretty good this year, it’s just the boneheaded plays were LOUD. Remember all those games where the QB couldn’t find anyone to hit and had to...
