Silver & Black Out This Week - Game not sold out

[thatraider707]

Well looks like they couldn't pay fans to go watch the 3-8 Raiders get beaten by the great Brandon Weeden. Game won't be televised, which is great because I'll be able to winter proof my house instead of watching our pathetic D get trampled on by Richardson and they'll make Weeden look like Kosar in his prime.

The Browns D is solid so I expect another double digit loss.

Can't wait to see what Reggie say tomorrow to us fans, who won't be spending our money to see a team already thinking about the offseason.

Rather negative thread but oh well, we 3-8 and with no sign of improving this year to think this team was 7-4 and was two defensive stops from winning the division.

Rain probably doesn't help either but bleh I went to rainy games before cause the team inspired me this team only gets us ridicule these days.

Go to the game.

any chance they ask for an extension??

[TFDRaider]

I wasn't planning on going to the game, but I probably will now.

[Raider187]

any chance they ask for an extension??

Nope. They felt that they were so far off from a sellout that an extension still would not yield nearly enoght ticket sales to meet the 85% threshhold, so they didn't even bother to ask the league for an extension. Not surprised at all. a 3-8 record, and chances of rain will only bring out the true diehards. The casual fan will go Christmas shopping. ; )

thanks bro... hate to see the nation wide game on Thursday night..

Someone asked me today who the Raiders are playing this Sunday, and for the first time in years, I couldn't tell him. I love my team, will always stand by them, but this team has forced me to stop caring this year.

So true... No rather place I'd rather be than watching my team play. Win, lose, or tie... A Raider for life!

Lets go back to "to think this team was 7-4 and was two defensive stops from winning the division". What happened? How did we go from 7-4 to 8-8? We had a top offense, hue was the man but we went from 7-4 to 8-8. Everyone keeps bringing that 8-8 up like we were on our way but no one wants to talk about how 7-4 turned into 8-8. IMHO when we went 1-4 down the stretch with everything on the line that was the beginning of this team falling apart not DA getting hired or Knapp being named the OC. DA and Knapp were not here so why did the team collapse?

I'm not attacking you 707 just using your post to ask a legit question and I'm looking for some intelligent answers which may be a mistake around here. Lets talk about this people because I keep hearing how RM and DA *ucked things up but things were falling apart at the end of 2011. We should have won the division hands down but we did not and we did not make the playoffs. Anyone want to take a shot at what happened? If all you have to say is knapp sucks or DA needs to good or RM needs to resign please don't respond. Thank you for your cooperation. (which I'm sure I won't get. )

^This

I will be there....in the rain and watching the Raiders win!

[red dragon]

Not surprising that a 3-8 team vs a 3-8 team playing in a rainstorm wouldn't sell out. I'll be watching on TV regardless, we might actually win this week if we show up to any extent.

We ended up going 1-4 cuz our starting QB and RB went down.

Carson Palmer wasn't injured during the last 5 games.
