3.2K2Two Raiders named to PFWA All-Rookie team, but not Derek Carr
Two Oakland Raiders were named to the Pro Football Writers of America’s All-Rookie team: linebacker Khalil Mack and defensive tackle Justin Ellis. Many believe Mack’s rookie year was worthy of the Defensive Rookie of the Year award (Aaron Donald took that honor), so his inclusion is not surprising. In fact, being the fifth pick overall comes with such high […]

4.0K26Harbaugh & Kaepernick hit a new low: Raiders 24, 49ers 13
Many wondered why Jim Harbaugh would want to coach the Oakland Raiders. After the Raiders got a good look at the San Francisco 49ers, one might wonder why they’d want Harbaugh. The Harbaugh-49ers marriage will officially end relatively soon, but its true conclusion came at the Coliseum. The 49ers only scored 13 points in an 11-point defeat to a team with […]

We’re a quarter of the way through the season, and Raiders fans are struggling to find much to be excited about. Dennis Allen is already gone, which all but guarantees that the rest of the staff will be gone next year as well. The Raiders don’t have a Hue Jackson lying in wait who might be able […]

3.4K24Raiders return to ineptitude in London blowout, Dennis Allen possibly on his way out
Some fans got their hopes up when the Oakland Raiders flashed some decent play in New England.

2.0K9With no ground game to speak of, Raiders are putting way too much pressure on Derek Carr
Oakland Raiders rookie quarterback Derek Carr has been one of the few things to be excited about this season. The young signal caller hasn’t had any outstanding performances, but considering the company he’s keeping, just staying alive is impressive.

2.6K2Dennis the Menace keeps Carr in the garage
Dennis Allen and the Raiders coaching staff insisted on taking surface streets across town when they had plenty of freeways available, and the Raiders lost to the Jets 19-14 in New Jersey.

2.9K1No pressure, Derek Carr – the hopes of Raiders fans are resting on your right arm, that’s all
If you say “It doesn’t matter much, it’s only the first game of the season”, you are liar and a fatmouth. The Jets and The Raiders used to duke it out once upon a time. But I couldn’t care less about that. We have to see something from Derek Carr and Khalil Mack, but mostly […]

We just got back from a mini-road trip that started in Mendocino and ended this afternoon at a pool at a swanky hotel in Sonoma County (reports that we snuck into the pool are unconfirmed at this time).
