Hey Baph!!

We were mighty in the 70s and 80s.

Your team sucks today.

Any questions?

Hey baph! Right now...2019...I'm thinking the Raiders are making much better "memories of their team" with higher hopes then the Chargers are making of their team!

You have nothing but bad memories which will continue and the only "hope" you have is to not be the lone bottom feeder in the AFC West. Sad.

I'm bumping this thread for two reasons.

1) After starting the season triumphantly in Game 1 vs. Denver, overachieving at 6-4 and then falling flat the last month, the Raiders need 4 things to happen to punch their ticket into the postseason.

Beat Denver
Indianapolis beats Jacksonville
Steelers lose at Baltimore
Titans lose at Houston

If all four happen, it creates a 4 way tie.

The Raiders win over Pittsburgh due to strength of schedule and over the Colts due to winning Week 4 @ Indianapolis.
The Colts would eliminate Tennessee by having a better division record.

So basically, Denver could keep the Raiders out of the playoffs. And I'll be honest, of the 4 scenarios, the Raiders are the ones I DON'T trust.

And now the second reason:

When’s the last time the raiders even beat the chargers? I honestly can’t remember.

congrats on the sweep DS. i got nothing else to add other than we suck and need a new offensive mind with a new QB. otherwise everything is great!

When’s the last time the chargers got swept by all three west teams

Might see it next week

And dammit all, I was hoping the raiders would have nothing to play for

2015. it's the only time the chargers have been swept by the division that i can remember. even in their 1-15 season their lone win was against the chiefs.

It just seems like it happens all the time but i bet it’s pretty rare for any west team

Eliminating the Raiders from the playoffs at home to finish the season sounds pretty great to me!

I prefer Denver to lose for a better draft position.

Although, missing out on WR Lamb for WR Higgins is a
small price to pay for eliminating Oakland from the playoffs.

Absolutely!

Start chilling the Champagne....The Broncos have turned the corner and the Sparklers own and will continue to own the dark, cold, damp AFC West basement.

I'm looking forward to a great win. The Raiders game was the worst loss of the year imo. After waiting all year and having such a great feeling about our D and the possibilities, we came out with nothing.

This time it's different......the Oakland Raiders can not win their final game- and in Denver no less.
