The AFC team of TFF is the Oakland Raiders. A long time juggernaut that has been run well for millennia and who's owner is a fashion icon. How does this work? Well, we all watch different games. The N/V and aftermath threads are not focused and participants can't really get in depth, so this is an attempt to focus the forums on two interesting teams. The only rule is that you need to focus on the Raiders. If you're talking about their opponent only talk about them as they relate to Oakland. Example: "Russel Bodine Is poo poo." Bad. "Russel Bodine got worked by the Raiders DT but he's been poor overall so I'm not certain it was great play by them." Better. What do I need to do? Whatever, as long as you're contributing. This is not the place to talk about the tuck rule or how the Chargers are way better or whatever. Post game summaries, ask questions, whatever. Just don't go off topic and this probably isn't a good venue for game day thread style posting. What if the Raiders end up sucking more than we expected? There's no commitment. If you lose interest just stop posting. This is an experiment. Do as much as you like. I'll compile Game posts in the next post so we have an easy reference.

Will the Raiders break .500 for the first time in almost a decade and a half? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24QXGz0k7Ak

FIRST TIME posted:Will the Raiders break .500 for the first time in almost a decade and a half? To do that the Raiders need to win 6 games out of: DEN, @DEN, SD, @SD, KC, @KC, NYJ, @PIT, MIN, @DET, @TEN, @GB The games against Denver, at Green Bay and at Pittsburg are sure losses, but I think the 8 other games are winnable for Oakland, my prediction is 8-8.

Ok, so I've now watched (condensed) all 5 Raiders games. Observations: 1) The Raiders are fun to watch. 2) They've been in every game other than that Bengals fiasco. 3) They should have beaten the Bears. 4) Derek Carr looks very good for a second year QB. Good arm, good targets, etc. 5) Carr does seem to really rely on Crabtree uber alles though. 6) Great to watch a team with a decent run game, although the run game seems to only go through Murray and to fail when others come in (screens work with Reese, but that's the only really successful plays I saw with Reese). 7) It's great to watch a team with a decent defense. Not great, necessarily, but at least decent defense. e: 8) It turns out I only know enough to watch football for fun, not to break it down like Menamino et al. ulmont fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Oct 18, 2015 |

the Raiders will play in the Oakland Coliseum until it literally crumbles to dust, as the NFL doesn't want Mark Davis to drive his Grand Caravan anywhere near Los Angeles

I sort of think that this @Chargers game is showing more about the Chargers (total inconsistency - the Chargers hung with the Packers until the end last week) than the Raiders, although what I may be seeing instead is a young team growing up in front of me. I'll rewatch it in condensed form Tuesday or Wednesday, but I don't know that I'm taking away a whole lot about the Raiders so far.

It probably helps the Raiders had two weeks to gameplan for the game but until they took the foot off the gas the Chargers weren't getting anything going. Having said that giving up 23 points in a quarter is never good.

What you saw was a lot of hatred built up for the Chargers finally getting released. That game had a similar feel to the Tom Cable led blowout of the Broncos a few years back.

This game (Raiders-Jets) was summed up here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3749145&perpage=40&pagenumber=13#post452199981 Summary is from a Jets perspective, but it was a fun game to watch for the Raiders.

Eifert Posting posted:There's no commitment. As a Raiders fan I'm not entirely sure what to think of the last two games cause the Chargers hasn't been playing well and didn't have Weddle and Gates (although they might've sucked it up too for all I know), and the Jets lost Fitz to start the game and I think they had a bunch of injuries coming in too. In any case they've at least shown they can beat up on a team now (at least for three quarters) vs the games earlier in the season. And their 4th quarter clock management (or play execution I guess) was only topped by the Jets' plays on those last few drives

The Raiders running game is still a breath of fresh air to someone used to no running game though.

The Offense hasn't been this much fun since Hue Jackson was the OC. Not to mention how improved the defense is. Shame about Seabass losing a step though.
