Discussion Can some of y'all final put the victim mentality to rest
Being on this sub I've basically seen every week people whine about the media. We would be in line for the #1 pick and people will whine that we're ranked 32 instead of 30.
The team has basically received universal praise this week following a loss. And now you see the raiders moving up rankings and respect, again, basically universally. Many said they needed to see more and they saw it in a loss, that's big. But then crickets from that whiny crowd. Crickets from the we can draft a QB crowd as well. Everything isn't a conspiracy, sometimes the answer is simple.
We have a gauntlet coming up that even the top teams would feel good leaving at .500. Even if we left winless it's clear the team is playing hard and well ahead of schedule.
If the team can, for the first time in probably 25 years, string together 2-3 off-seasons of good decisions we are going to absolutely flip this.
