Now before Raider Nation comes to burn down my home and runs me out-of-town on a rail, please hear me out. First let me start off by saying I never wish injury on any player (yes Raider fans, even Tom Brady) especially a member of the organization I’m very passionate about. Do I want Derek […]

After back to back losses on the road, the Oakland Raiders now sit at 2-2, a far cry from where this team could be; or is it? Once again Raider Nation watched as the offense sputtered for most of the game in Denver, only able to put up 10 points for a second straight week.

Many questions surround the Oakland Raiders after an abysmal showing in our Nation’s capital last Sunday night. Have we overhyped the Raiders? Is Derek Carr as good as we thought? Is Cooper a major concern after already matching last season’s drops total through only three weeks of play? Sunday’s game left Raider Nation with more

Take your hand away from the panic button! In Oakland’s 26-16 victory against Tennessee on Sunday, Raider fans saw something many thought was going to be non-existent for Oakland in 2017.

Last, but certainly not least, our Raider Ramble panel will take a look at the AFC North as we set sail towards the regular season! A division that has certainly given fans one of the best rivalry matchups in recent history in Ravens versus Steelers, along with one of the most intriguing and controversial teams in the Bengals. But perhaps after a seemly strong offseason, the Cleveland Browns are preparing to drag themselves from amongst the NFL’s basement dwellers and come into their own. Well, that may be a long shot as only time will tell.

With all of the recent commotion that Donald Penn has created by holding out of camp, I started to do a little digging into what the Oakland Raiders could soon do to address the left tackle position.

After Raider Ramble’s somewhat controversial pick in last week’s preview of the AFC West, we now turn our attentions to the AFC South. After finishing a combined 29-35, only two other divisions (NFC West & AFC North) finished with a worse combined record. However, it seems like this division is brimming with talent and perhaps this will be the season its teams put it all together. Let’s take a look at some of the most notable offseason moves made by each team.
