What I don't understand is how they plan on staying in Oakland for 2 years in the meantime.  Huh?  How could those people support them for two more years.

ticket prices have gone up also (between 20 and 80% depending on where you're sitting). The one downfall of finishing with a 12-4 record.

Raiders fan base is kinda weird(shocking statement I know) and they really seem to be of the Raider Nation philosophy. Most are Raider fans. Not Oakland Raider fans or LA Raider fans, just Raider fans. The outrage in STL and SD was 100x greater.

It's only one report from a radio guy that works in Oakland but I'm hearing that it's not sitting well at all.

I assume that even Raiders are human beings but maybe not.  Honey I am filling for divorce but will still live with you until my new spouse is ready in a new mansion?  Fug no!!!!

They should go to San Antonio for two years then.  The logistics may make little sense, but better than despicably staying with a market you've just $hat on.

I'm from Vegas so I can say that we only have one realistic temporary venue where we could host the Raiders and it's a bit of a dump. Of course, if the Chargers are really going to play at Stub Hub next season, anything is possible.

Wow, the next 2 season in Oakland are going to be extremely awkward. 

Surprised the Raiders didn't decide to play at UNLV's stadium, it has 10k more seats than the Stadium the Chargers are playing in next year. 

Visiting teams are going to have fun enforcing curfew in Vegas....

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
