- Seems a little more clear from this angle that Davante didn’t see him at all.. he apologized, let’s move on
- I have reported MULTIPLE times that inside the building, the Raiders believe if they get Davante Adams a proven QB that he would want to stay. Just asked him, here's his answer
00:00 - Raiders Derek Carr, "He (Ruggs) needs to be loved right now, and if no one else will do it, I will."
- Nothing is done, but the Raiders getting closer to adding another big name. The relentless effort by Dave Ziegler, Josh McDaniels, and the new team is impressive. Just told, "They are like college recruiters, that is impressive in the NFL."
- Gruden gets an unsportsmanlike penalty. I agree with him. How did the ref not call the PI on KC in the endzone. That type of no call is exactly why Raiders fans hate the NFL and feel the NFL hates them. No way on Arnette and no way that wasn't.
- UPDATE on Raiders Free Agency: The Raiders are still "Very much in the hunt," for another big-name defensive player, and they are not being played for more money at all. If you don't like that reporting, fine, don't follow. But doing what I can to keep people in the loop.
- Raiders locker room going crazy. This was a confidence builder. Good team's find a way to win, When they aren't playing well.
- For those who are not fans of Derek Carr and are constantly looking for veiled signs he will be traded, he has a NO TRADE CLAUSE. He isn't going anywhere.
- Darren Waller, "People may want to cancel him (Jon Gruden), but at the same time where do we offer grace for him to learn and grow?
- This is the 24th game of the Josh McDaniels era in Las Vegas. They are no better than what he inherited, and it isn't even close, they are worse.
- Derek Carr was held back by Gruden. In 2021, the Raiders have nothing to lose and everything to gain. #LetDerekBeDerek
- Derek Carr's critics? More like crickets.
- My brother Kim had a massive heart attack this morning. Yet to regain consciousness and is in a procedure right now. If prayer is something that you practice, I would appreciate prayers for him.
