You are living in a parallel universe...or more correctly, a fantasy world.

I like Steve Wilks, but as a head coach he's heavily overrated by the fanbase here for last season.

Hell, he's running a defense with some of the best talent in the league and in danger of getting fired.

Exactly, he wasn't a good HC and helped us win 7 games.

We won 7 games with f'in Steve Wilks, the much maligned Sam Darnold and PJ Walker last season.

How are expectations now "well it's a first year coach and a rookie QB (that we sold the f'in farm for), so be happy with getting your ass kicked every week"??!?!?!?

COMPLETELY different team this year.  Completely.

Only thing I like about this is that I now strongly believe you should always hire your coach and GM together. It's the only way to ensure a full reset, no baggage, and sends a message to the next tandem that they must work together for results.  That said - the new GM should be able to hire his own choice of Head Coach.

Any bets that Belichick gets fired in NE and McDaniels ends up as HC? 

I think there was at one point a path for McD in New England.....but he now has 2 shitshow attempts at HC.  You generally never see folks get a 3rd attempt after being horrific 2 places.

...against mostly terrible teams.

He really only had one quality win (Detroit) but also one painful loss in a horribly coached game against the Bucs where he stood by and watched Mike Evans score the same way repeatedly.

That performance probably cost him the job as much as anything else.

They waited until after the deadline so Adams wouldn't leave lol

Adams basically since last year

I’ve made a huge mistake gif 15 » GIF Images Download

I mean, it wasn't even a secret.  Adams 1000% went to the Raiders to play ball with his friend.  And then they benched and fired his friend when he got there.

McDaniels wasnt making "newbie" mistakes, he just sucked as a coach.  And as far as their GM goes I think Davis is taking the (correct IMO) approach of bringing the gm and coach in together so they are both in agreement and have the same timeline.

But again I get your overall thought process but mcdaniel just really sucks and he has sucked at 2 places now.

Fitterer is most certainly regressing and lord knows what Reich is doing, he comes off very Rhuleesque in some of his pressers.


Josh had a track record of not improving so he deserved to get fired. It also seemed like he lost the locker room with Adams and even Renfro.

Davis is still an idiot owner though. 12 head coaches in the past 22 years. He doesn’t know what he’s doing.

I think Fitt is realizing just how much Pete Carrol helped his GM all those years. A consensus GM only works when your coaches and owner aren’t complete @ss.

Balls aren't much good without brains.

Unless Davis goes outside for help, the next GM and coach will still be his pick.

(and probably be lousy...again)

He can't even take advice on a haircut, I'm not holding out hope on his picking a HC or GM.

It has been a long, long, long time since the Raiders were the Raiders. There's no feel of the dangerous group of misfits and bad dudes anymore. Their fan base is scarier than the team.

Dave Ziegler, hired January 30th 2022...

Josh McDaniels, hired January 31st 2022

I've seen a couple of people talk about simultaneous hiring as if it were some kind of guarantee for success. 

It really isn't. McDaniels and Ziegler were hired together. Hell, they even had an extensive background of working together.

Hiring circumstances don't guarantee anything.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
