The official 2014 Raiders offseason thread

Yeah it's the pre-season. When almost every player is evaluated. You expect them to put a little effort into this evaluation. The 3rd game is the most important to showcase the starters but like I said they really didn't show anything special.

I've been a football fan for 28 years and have never once in my life saw a season were the pre-season determined in any way shape or form how a team looks during the regular season. Hence the reason you see playoff teams going 0-4 or 1-3 in the pre-season every year and shitty 4-12 teams going 4-0 in the pre-season every year.

It's a glorified scrimmage plain and simple. It's annoying as fuck every single year when people start talking about "they looked shitty in that pre-season game, guess the season is tanked" lol who fucking cares about the pre-season, it has literally never determined how a team looks in a regular season ever.

 

[RAPresentah]

I don't give a fuck what it is Matt schaub looks terrible

 

[REACHTMO]

yeah, there was a few incompletions due to the fact he has no zip on the ball. even his short passes float in there

 

[InfamousICON]

I agree about Schaub, the dude has a muffin top, b-cups, and no arm strength. Dude looks like he hasn't even looked at a gym in the off season.

Just glad both McGloin and Carr look motivated to actually play.

Sorry to annoy you dude but I'm not making that point. My point was made for each individual playing for the team. Nobody stood out at all against the Packers. Most teams, even those that go 0-4 in the preseason have some individuals standout. This team didn't show me anything that mattered in this particular game.

My bad, I should've made it clear in that second paragraph when I talked about people being annoying with the preseason talk that your post itself wasn't annoying. That was more of a general statement based on every single year people having meltdowns based on preseason games lol

To me though Matt Schaub is the only person really under performing. Granted we haven't had any standouts like Rod Streater's great preseason a couple years back, but I ain't really worried about the overall team based on these games.

Matt Schaub though, holy fuck dude looks bad.

Didn't the lions go undefeated in preseason during their winless season lol

 

[-corinthian]

hoping carr or mcgloin can win the starting qb job tomorrow night, schlaub looks like a disaster

 

[Defy]

I really thought last year was just a bad year for schuab but it's really lookin like he's done career wise.....I'd like to see McLovin in there before Carr just cuz I wouldn't want Carr thrown to the wolves immediately

 

[Unk1ne]

excuse me what Raider team is this????

 

[SC_408]

Where the fuck was this Carr against USC?!

#starttheCarr

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

A OAK team going up against a bunch of guys fighting for roster spots, aka 3rd stringers?

2nd and 3rd Raiders stringers were owning the Seahawks starters.. [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

 

[Unk1ne]

lol TP sucks but im watching this Angel Vs Oakland Game haha

 

[$CASH$]

I could be wrong but It looked like Seattles starting D on those first two possessions/ scores.

One TD is "owning"? Good to know. And the lucky TD off the tip. Yeah, all Raiders there.

Hey, live it up. This will be the highlight of your season.

:ermm:

Wagner and Smith have been out since this week more or less, so they wanted playing time before the season started. They took Sherm and Maxwell out the first series, as well as ET. Not sure if Kam was out there. The entire DL was taken out for 2nd and 3rd stingers. Outside of the first drive, there was 2 plays resulting in TD's, with 75% of the 1st stingers outs.

Are you really bragging on a preseason game? Holy shitballs.

Well seahawks went 4-0 in preseason last year then won the superbowl

The 3rd pre season game is typically the most important, it's where the starters play at least the entire first half and some or all of the 3rd. Seattle was up 31-0 against the bears at halftime last week. Today Russell Wilson had what, 3 for 3 passes total? For 80-something yards and a TD? And then when out? Not worried about anything after that.
