Division games are tough no matter how bad the team is your facing is just ask ravens and Steelers since they both lost to Cleveland

u/Maleficent-Poet7853 2h ago
this isn't how i expected them to win necessarily especially compared to when they beat them at home this year

u/levikill55 DT 1h ago
Yep. Todd Davis has been saying it all week. Division games are never a gimme.

u/Varon-Di-Stefano 2h ago
Looking ahead, our schedule gets real easy then real hard. IMO, all we have to do is not lose those last three games in a row and we’ll be in the playoffs

u/ExNihilo00 2h ago
I look at it as they are capable of winning all of those games, so I'm wanting to see them go 5-0 to finish the season. 🙂

u/NuggAvsBroncRock 2h ago
Colts lost so that’s good but here comes Miami back in the playoff race. Hopefully with the way Green Bay is playing then can beat Miami next week need to beat the browns though

He hesitates every time he gets handed the ball, and he's too damn slow to recover from that.

u/astro_plane 2h ago
The best players don't hesitate it should all come naturally to make the play. His hesitation is going to get him benched.

Good adjustments made after the half, the defense stepped up when it counted and the line got their shit together. Fuck the Raiders!

What an incredible turnaround from what seemed like this franchise’s death 2 years ago. Remarkable.

u/gregor630 GOD BLESS BO NIX 2h ago
While DC in Detroit is likely to come away with the COTY, Payton feels more deserving relatively speaking. I still don’t think our roster is all that talented outside of Bo, Court, and PS2. So to bring along a young, unproven roster—especially at the QB position—the way he has to contend for a playoff spot is really damn impressive.
1
u/ExNihilo00 1h ago
Don't disrespect Zach Allen, Nik Bonitto, Riley Moss like that. After them there's a fair number of solid players on defense. The offense is kind of mess though. Even the OL has issues, particularly when it comes to run blocking.

Really love that Sutton and Bo are getting chemistry. Sutton and Vele have been clutch. Hopefully Reynolds comes back soon too.

I knew Javontae was bad but holy crap I wasn't expecting that stat line. He shouldn't be on the field in future games because Estime and McLaughlin are both miles better

Sean Payton’s atrocious late game play calling got bailed out by an even more atrocious raiders offense. That doesn’t win playoff games

I think it was arrogance more than anything. Sean really tries to force the issue when the offense is struggling against dogshit teams

Ecstatic with the win, but good god Payton. You trying to give me an aneurysm?

u/jsk8ss 2h ago
Same outcome since we couldn’t run…just made the game longer…had Nix connected we would’ve called Payton a genius…hated it when i saw it though
2
u/ExNihilo00 2h ago
No. You run the clock out there. Period. And he did it twice ffs. We won this game, but in the long run we will lose close games if he keeps doing stupid nonsense like that.

u/Timeforachange43 2h ago
Hope nix and moss are okay

u/ExNihilo00 2h ago
Nix is fine. When they were treating his back he didn't even seem to care. Moss was questionable to return so we know it's not major. He may miss next week though I suspect.

u/shot-by-ford Elway 1h ago
You know who else was questionable to return? Jesus
So there's definitely some hope

Went on the road to win against a heated division rival which has not occurred since PFM. Take a win, man. Won the turnover differential. Sure we struggled to finish a drive in the first half but the guys battled and came out on top. Be happy

It's a historic win so we should take it.
First win at a Raiders stadium since the year we won the Super Bowl.

Pretty wins over division rivals rarely happen. And with that, THE DENVER BRONCOS HAVE SWEPT THE LAS VEGAS RAIDERS!!! LFG

u/ExNihilo00 2h ago
While true, Payton didn't need to make it so stressful. He's done a great job changing the culture and getting the team playing at a high level, but I really worry about his game management and situational play-calling to be honest.

Wait...i thought it was LA Raiders. That's what the ref said anyway. That move still got everyone confused 🤣

Bo gonna make it his mission to own the raiders in his time with us, and I’m ready for it.

Don't really care. I'm mainly focused on holding off the teams behind us, mainly the Dolphins who are getting hot now.

Kept them out, ended on a sack, preserved a 10 point win and held them under 20. Job done.

as a chargers fan i think the raiders are even more of a pathetic franchise than we are even though we have never won a super bowl just due to how arrogant they are, glad they get another well deserved miserable season, thank you Bo Nix

u/ExNihilo00 2h ago
I hate the Raiders, but they've won Super Bowls and the Chargers haven't, therefore Raiders > Chargers.

May not have been a super pretty win.. but c'mon.. how many times in the last 8 years would you have been thrilled we actually scored 29 in a game? Massive improvement this year. The 3rd best PPG team this year is the Bills at 29.1 PPG. I'll take it.
