Why being a raiders fan is not easy....
(A Thread) :

I dread this tweet right here...
2001 AFCCG the fucking tuck rule. Nothing else needs to be said.

(02-03) - HC Bill Callahan changes the game plan the day before the super bowl and sabotages the raiders. We would lose 48-21 to Jon Gruden’s buccaneers.

EXT to the previous tweet:
(02-03) - Starting center Barrett Robbins literally disappears the day before the Super Bowl. Who tf knows where he even went or where he’s even at rn.

2004 NFL DRAFT

Raiders take Robert Gallery at #2 overall over:
Larry Fitzgerald
Philip Rivers
Sean Taylor
Kellen Winslow
Ben Roethlisberger

Gallery was never got a 3rd contract and was out the league within 8 years.

2005 NFL DRAFT:

(Keep in mind raiders have a 32 year old Kerry Collins at QB and we have 2 all pro corners in Charles Woodson and Nandi Asomugha)

Raiders select CB Fabian Washington at #24 overall. The next pick? Aaron Rodgers.

Fabian was out of the league in 6 years.

2005: RANDY MOSS!!!! .... 😒

We trade for Randy Moss in his prime. Offer him his 2nd chance; but we suck and lose him after 2 seasons. He doesn’t even consider the raiders a team he enjoyed... let alone played for.

EXT

He sucked. He would quit in the middle of games. Hated the fans and the organization as a whole and forced his way out of Oakland and found himself in foxborough where he then had arguably one of the best WR seasons of ALL TIME.

We also lost HOFer Charles Woodson to FA 😀

2006 lmao

One of the worst raiders rosters of all time. Ended up 2-14 under HC Art Shell bringing our overall record to 15-49 since our Super Bowl loss to the buccaneers in 2003.

2007 NFL DRAFT

Oooo raiders have the #1 pick! A loaded draft class deep at every single position! What can possibly go fucking wrong?!

Raiders select QB Jamarcus Russell #1 overall.
Players taken after include:
Calvin Johnson
Joe Thomas
Adrian Peterson
Patrick Willis
Beastmode

(EXT to the previous tweet)

Jamarcus Russell is the biggest bust in NFL history; it’s not even close.

Went 7-18 in his career.
4083 Yards | 18 TDs | 23 INTs

Was out of the league within 3 years.

2008 NFL DRAFT

We sucked the previous year (4-12) and you would think we would get some WR help for our #1 overall QB?

Raiders select Darren McFadden at #4 overall. I mean granted it was one of the worst WR drafts of all time lol.

We would finish 5-11 this season.

Let’s speed this up a little bit...
2010 NFL SEASON

Raiders become the first team ever to sweep their division (6-0) but still miss the playoffs. We finished 8-8 that season under QB Jason Campbell

2011 NFL SEASON

The raiders trade for a retired QB in Carson Palmer. We gave up 1st rounder in 2012 and a 2nd in 2013

(EXT)
Carson was dog water in Oakland. We would end up trading him for a boat load a draft comp bro you wouldn’t believe it dawg

2014 NFL SEASON
After 10+ years of cooked ass drafts picks, the raider land future HOFer Khalil Mack and franchise QB Derek Carr in the 2014 draft.... we still sucked this season going 3-13

The raiders went 30-62 from 2010-2015.

From our 2010-2013 Draft Classes, only one player got a second contract with the raiders. RB Taiwan Jones who has been a decent role player in the NFL.

2016 NFL SEASON

The raiders dominate. First winning season in 13 years. Raiders QB Derek Carr is even considered an MVP candidate! Until December 24th, 2016.... Carr would unfortunately break his fibula in a win over the colts. The raiders would be bounced out in the WC....

2018 NFL SEASON

Legendary HC Jon Gruden reunites with the raiders! We would trade Khalil Mack & Amari Cooper.... Had statistically one of the worst defenses of all time.

We finished 4-12
#JustWinBaby

March 9th 2019:

The Raiders trade for future HOF WR Antonio Brown. Derek Carr finally gets himself a weapon! So we thought... Brown never played a snap for the raiders and was cut before the season even began.

His release was called for by calling Mayock a cracker.

#Character

2019 & 2020 NFL SEASONS:

Started off 6-3 in both seasons. Would ultimately end up 8-8 in both resulting in a total of 1 winning season in 17 years. Raiders statistically also had one of the worst raider defenses of all time in 2020.

#CommitmentToExcellence 😀

We’re not done yet.....
