Has the Raiders' window already closed?

Shucks, that was fast!

It was never open.

This happens a lot in the NFL. Teams have a decent year and there's the natural assumption that they'll have an even better year the next year. See the Raiders, Bucs, Giants, Dolphins, Falcons....it happens every year

4 out of 5 of those teams I am not sure are worse so much as people bought way too much into the hype. Falcons are just finding out what happens when you go from the best OC in the league to the worst. They'll be back with a vengeance next year, imo.

i guess maybe it felt different because all those other teams are cyclical with their success and can expect to see something good every 3-5 years, at least once or twice (well, except for the dolphins until recently). The raiders were Godawful from 2003-2014, then started creeping back up in '15. They were awesome last year, but had that shitty injury to Carr and laid an egg in the wildcard, but now, shit...are they done, already? I'm curious to watch their offseason, regardless of how this season plays out at this point

The defense is hot garbage. Need an overhaul on that unit. It's Mack and a bunch of garbage. Mainly the back seven.

I'd trade our QB for theirs in a heartbeat.

they played better today, considering the field position the Bills always had

fucking play calling was awful.

That tends to happen when you ignore the one glaring weakness in the offseason

 

[dbldwn711]

Raiders haven't been good consistently since that John Candy lookalike was the head coach.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Cursed for moving to Vegas and shitting on that loyal fanbase

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

They still have a good young QB and some pieces in place. Just need to fix the weaknesses.
