Official Oakland Raiders 2016-2017 Season Thread

Worst play calling I've seen all year. 3 times we had the ball in the red zone with a 3rd and short and instead of trying for a 1st down we take a shot at the end zone. Those 3 trips lead to 3 points.
The last drive in the red zone really annoyed me, floating those 2 balls up to our 3rd and 4th receivers in the end zone to finish the game instead of shooting for a 1st down was seriously cringey. It was pretty obvious Carr was having trouble throwing the ball with his busted finger, Murray was averaging 5 yards per carry....yet they float jump balls to the end zone lol

Yeah man there was one drive in particular where the running game was beating and then it came to 3rd and 1 and they throw it. Why keep throwing in those situations when the run game is working and almost guaranteed to get a yard? Oh well, coaches had an off game and so did a lot of the offense. Carr was 17-41 that looks bad on the stat sheets but there were numerous dropped balls and KCs defense was good.
Not the end of the world - they got SD, Colts and Broncos, all winnable games, still a chance at first place.
Although KC has has Titans, Broncos and SD. Titans are up and down though so you never know with them, could be a tough game and the broncos only lost by a FG to KC a couple weeks back in OT in a whacky game Broncos could have won.
And the Broncos got the Patriots, Chiefs and Raiders, so their chance seems pretty slim obviously.
It's going to be interesting to say the least!

Raiders vs. Patriots is on for Mexico City next year and we're the ones losing a home game yet again.
NFL is all like "we need a team to fly 2500 miles and fuck their entire schedule up, let's just throw the Raiders in their yet again, they're used to flying".

Just read on CBS Sports that it's because of our stadium issue and if the issue doesn't get resolved we might be giving up even more than 1 home game a year and end up playing at more random places.
Raiders bout to get fucked with like 5 home games in 2018 if this weeks meetings and votes for Ronnie Lott's new stadium in Oakland don't work out lol

LMAO just read the Chargers have been blasting fake crowd noise during practice to basically mimic this being a Raider's home game.
Love how the So Cal Raider Nation invades San Diego every year.

Looks like the NFL didn't find Ronnie Lott's stadium plan suitable. Goodell sounds like he's now on team Vegas.

Sounds like Fortress Investments the group funding Ronnie Lott's plans is corrupt as fuck and the plan can bury both the city of Oakland and the Raiders if something goes wrong and both the NFL and the Raiders doesn't want to work with them.
Apparently Fortress wants all negotiations to be held in confidentiality with the city of Oakland and keep both the Raiders and the NFL completely blacked out, which is retarded because the Raiders and the NFL are the ones putting up the biggest sum of money.

This was Tuesday, the NFL shit all over it on Wednesday. The Raiders also don't like the deal. The city of Oakland and Ronnie Lott's group are basically trying to move forward without the Raiders or the NFL even involved, which is obviously going to back fire. An NFL official literally called the deal that was put on the table "a joke" and Roger Goodell said the deal wasn't viable.
