I like to start by apologising by not having an article last week . I just had a ton on my plate, with work, personal issues and the holidays, but we are back this week! One of the weird trivia questions about the NFL is that there have only been three men named Napoleon that […]

Raider Classics – Raiders Knock Chiefs out of Playoffs in KC in 1999 Season Finale
Much like the last decade since 2013 The 1990s were a tough decade for the Raiders against the Chiefs. So tough that they only won two games against them entering the 1999 season finale . The entire decade the raiders had a 2-18 record against KC (they played 20 games as they also played in […]
Raider Classics – Raiders Comeback to Win Over Jets in 1993 Enroute to Playoffs
One of my favourite games as a Raider fan came in 1993 against the Jets. It was still early in the year . After a 2-0 start with their new QB Jeff Hostetler the Raiders had lost two straight and went into the game 2-2. The Jets also had a new veteran QB in Boomer […]
Raider Classics , Raiders Beat the New York Giants Enroute to Super Bowl 18
This is the 40th anniversary of the Raiders last Super Bowl win so I have to discuss some of the games that lead them to this victory. Late in the season in 1983 Raiders who were on a roll would play a struggling NY Giants team that would win only 3 games in 1983. It […]
Why are the Raiders in this Plight? Gruden and Mayock are Also to Blame in a Major Way
This site is about great Raiders of the past and class games. However, with the current situation with the team I had to comment. Please note after this week we will focus on Raiders of the past and classic games. While we are all relieved that Josh Mcdaniels is gone. Him and Ziegler do not […]
Raiders Classics – Bo vs Barry the Last Raiders win in Detroit in 1990
There are times when legendary players surpass teams and games. In 1990 two of the greatest RBs in NFL history and probably two of the exciting ones faced off. The Detroit Lions played the Los Angeles Raiders with Barry Sanders facing off against Bo Jackson. The Raiders were a great team in 1990 going 12-4 […]
Reasons to Fire Josh McDaniels
This blog is supposed to be about classic Raider games and Raiders of the past but after the embarrassing disgraceful loss to the Bears this past week I thought I would chime in on the current situation. In his two years and 7 games as Raider coach McDaniels record is 9-15. This is mediocre. There […]
Raiders Classics – The Raiders Last win in Chicago in 1993
One of my favourite Raiders teams was the 1993 playoff team. They were a unique team that could beat you with the deep pass with their 5×100 team at WR , could pound the ball with a variety of backs or win with defence via their top tier Dline and Secondary. The Raiders would face […]
Vince Evans – The Relief Pitcher
As the Bears play the Raiders this week I have to cover a player that played his career for both the Raiders and Bears and became a cult star for each team. In addition, as Brian Hoyer came off the bench at 38 years of age throwing a bomb to help win the game for […]
Raiders Classics – Raiders Exact a Bit of Revenge over Patriots on Sunday Night in 2002
The stage was set. Both the Raiders and Patriots were 5-4 going onto the 10th game of the year and both needed a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. At this point in the season the Raiders were actually third place behind the Chargers and Broncos who both won early that Sunday and were […]
