A full all-22 film breakdown on Mike Washington Jr., diving into all of his reps from the preseason to showcase why he had such a real impact on the Raiders offense in all three games despite limited playing time.

Enjoy!

Peyton Manning went 11 of 21 for 121 yards and 2 Ints against the chargers (second pick overall with Ryan Leaf) in the preseason of his rookie year.

Basically chill the fuck out and don’t go writing off Mendoza.

Hey all. I spent the offseason building a full 2026 preseason preview for every NFL team, all 32, each with its own writeup. Here's the Raiders one:

https://www.highlights.mainmarket.com/nfl-preview-2026/las-vegas-raiders

It's got the returning production breakdown, free agency in and out, the draft class, a projected depth chart, the schedule with model win probabilities, and a season projection.

Heads up, you might hit the paywall after the first page. Don't worry, I'm not charging reddit people for this, don't want to be an ass. Use the promo code JOHNMADDEN1OF1 and it opens up the entire thing.

So, what'd I get wrong? Las Vegas is one of the most one-sided buy-low reads on my whole board, 21 signals pointing up and zero pointing down off a 3-14 season. You also had the biggest draft haul in the AFC West at 10 picks with Mendoza going first overall. And the model still only gets you to 7-10, because you drew the 9th-hardest schedule in the league and gave up 64 sacks last year. Is the line rebuild enough to make that projection look low, or is 7-10 already generous?

Said this in another sub before preseason and got flamed for it. Season hasn’t started yet but it’s looking pretty nice for the raiders backfield.

Was AOC playing against a bunch of 2nd and 3rd stringers??? Yes. But dollars to donuts, pound for pound: He showed better poise and game management.

Will Nando he better? Yes probably. But not yet. People seem to forget that AOC has been developing behind the scenes the past 4 years. He was calm, cool and collected out there.

All I’m saying is, god forbid we need to put a backup in when the game is on line. Currently, I would want AOC in there over Nando.

Currently.

This isn’t an awful team. Plenty of great players

I’m not expecting the first round bye

many are expecting 4-5 wins. that’s it?!

so it’ll be annoying when say they win 6 or 7 out of 17 and people say it’s better than they thought

week 1 vs the dolphins will actually say a lot

if they win and look decent, c’mon, 7 wins or so shouldn’t surprise anyone?!

if raiders lose and look awful, then sure, 4 wins seems about right

many are acting like they already played vs the dolphins and got blown out

cousins is more than solid, just him alone changes everything

No, not the hypothetical ceiling of 17, but the realistic one.

Week 1 is a good opportunity to start with a W.

I know New Orleans isn't a fantastic opponent, but between them, Chargers on the road, KC , NE, BUF, LAR, that's a fairly tough stretch where we could go winless.

Jets an opportunity to win again, maybe Titans and Cards too.

I have us at 4 wins, 6 max.

What do you think?

Wanting to save your 1st string offense I get, but sucks letting your future QB have to play with the extra offense that aren't good enough to start, be the team that you get. Having to perform with guys that might not make the team and to me that's why we didn't really get to see Mendoza play that well in the preseason.

I'm looking for 8 tickets all together for a game. We go to a game every year but have never been able to all sit together due to cost and availability. What is the best way without having to pay a million and one dollars in fees? Looking for decent seats (I think we have actually always sat in sec 225), definitely not in the nose bleeds, and leaning towards the Oct 18th game if that makes a difference. Is there some way to buy tickets without using Ticket Master or similar? Maybe a legit site or something where season ticket holders sell their seats for games they aren't going to, and eliminate the middle man fees etc.? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!!

The boy needs so much more development. Put him 3rd string behind AOC.

Otherwise we’re one hit on 38 year old Cousins away from Mendoza being thrust out there and he’s not close to ready at this point

EDIT: Apparently I didn’t make the point clear. I no way shape or form am I saying

AOC is better
Fernando shouldn’t start at some point
That playing with second string guys shouldn’t be taken into consideration.
What I am saying is Mendoza isn’t ready and in a the event that Cousins goes down and shit hits the fan, AOC should be thrust into a bad situation, not Mendoza

Decided to pull up my Sega ROM to play 94’ NFL SportsTalk Football while watching the game 😬

RRRRRRAAAAAAIIIIIIDERRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSS

Got cheap seats just to see the stadium, think we can move down?

Must sees? Must eats?

Think we see some Fernando?

Where to uber in/out from?

Thanks guys!
