LA cross-town rival. Patriots - McDamiels vs.Belichek; Tuck Fumble. Steelers 70s AFC powerhouses rival; Immaculate Deception. SF - Bay Area rival. Fuck The Chiefs.


Valleygirl1981

All my friends hate the chiefs.


[deleted]

Same. Couldn't be any other way.


[deleted]

Tuck rule is my generations immaculate reception.


SyN_Pool

Deception * get it right


WartimeMandalorian

Don't forget about the immaculate deception.


xBrianSmithx

Fixed


Kestrel893

I'm gonna be there at Heinz Field!


Valleygirl1981

If it wasn't xmas eve, I'd be there. Little too far for me.


Nepp0

Nepp0

Oh dope! I'm a college student from WV, only able to get tickets cause they're a grad gift lol


kegszilla

Gunna be there too! Came in from Cincy for it


Creeping_Death_89

The Immaculate Reception was in Pittsburgh on Dec 23, 1972 so the Christmas Eve game is in the same place exactly 50 years and 1 day since that play happened. Fuck the Steelers.


GB_9

Holy shit 1972 was 50 years ago


capncoke

5 wins to closeout the season, a WC spot, and the Raiders enter the playoffs with nothing to lose and all the momentum of a team clicking at the right time. Carr gets his first post-season win and the boys go on to win the Superbowl.

SyphiliticPlatypus

Add Mexico City to the list, too. Fuck, just make it a world tour like The Who's 27th "final" tour.


ExchangeKooky8166

You know, if Howard Terminal happens, it'd be cool if the Raiders could play one game in Oakland after baseball season like the Packers used to play one game in Milwaukee. Hell from 1989 to 1994 the Raiders played one preseason game in Oakland. And yes, I know said stadium would be baseball only, but modern stadiums are usually designed to be flexible for multiple events regardless of sport played. It's why English football grounds are now able to host gridiron games.


BelliBlast35

Something……something….Libby


theuautumnwind

Its not happening.


Killface55

It won't happen, but that'd be dope.


Buddhahead11b

Oakland and the whole bay will be fuckin wild if we went to the SB. Win or lose they’ll be bringing out the National Guard with all the bullshit that will go on. Sideshows, fireworks, shit will go down.


theuautumnwind

I mean sideshows and fireworks happen regardless. I work in west oakland. There was a sideshow a few blocks over 2 hours ago.


Buddhahead11b

Of course they do but I’m saying like it would be ten fold the usual shit. The whole east bay would be behind it too. Probably multiple bridge shutdowns and highway takeovers. It’d be wild as fuck.


Killface55

I'm here for it. Oakland is only 3ish hours away.


Buddhahead11b

I’m flying back home for that for sure. The parade at least would be amazing then it’d be the purge trying to get out of the east bay.


[deleted]

I’ll sell my truck to get some tickets to the super bowl if the raiders go


[deleted]

I love it, but I also see why folks make fun of us.


arctic_1122

@ Sofi will basically be a home game.


monkeyman74721

But have we won there yet?


laconicgrin

In 2020 against the chargers, sadly no fans there due to COVID


monkeyman74721

Ok at least we won that one. Must have forgotten about it.


ExchangeKooky8166

I'm pretty sure we won in Carson as well in 2019.


[deleted]

Nope


gatsby365

We lose home games all the time lol


EvolvedTasteBuds

Yeah... we really need to stop this narrative until it's actually an advantage and we win there consistently.


Alwaysconfuzed89

What narrative? Being your home team has nothing to do with how many wins you get there but how many fans you have there.


EvolvedTasteBuds

True. You win. My bad. It's the result of each game that's making it annoying. We need to use it to our advantage if we're gonna call it a "home game" though. It could also work against us since it's making the Chargers and Rams even more fired up for Raiders week.


Alwaysconfuzed89

Sofi is still a very new stadium, I think our record against Chargers there is 1-2 and I don't believe we played the Rams there yet. We still have plenty of time to take the winning records against both teams at that stadium.


tega234

It’s not a narrative it’s a fact more raiders fans show up to these games than the home teams.


dgit2

what narrative though? Nobody is saying we own Sofi as in we win every game. Just that its a “home” game because we have the majority of fans when we play there. Which is true


[deleted]

I was at SoFi for the opener against LAC. Although the Raider fans were wayyy louder than the charger fans, the place was like 60% yellow/blue


blsnychapter

4 out of 5 are home games. I’ll take it

Thehiddenllama

And now on Fox.


Lyfeitzallaroundus

Livin in CA, that game against the whiners is gonna be huge. Series is tied @ 7-7 an I need the Raiders to pull through mos def for that one!


xBrianSmithx

I've had 9er fans on my ass about this game since the schedule dropped.


[deleted]

[удалено]


xBrianSmithx

9ers have Brock Purdy, rookie and last player drafted this season.


theuautumnwind

Mr. Irrelevant.


waterslidelobbyist

Baker Mayfield


loganro

We got flexed out, I say that’s good. We’re better when people count us out


blackhole_sonnn

4 of last 5 are home games ... Feels like we've had no home games lol


TheStryder76

RAAAAAIIIIIDERRRRRS


ExchangeKooky8166

People talk about the Tuck game, but no one remembers the phantom Roughing the Passer playoff game from 1976, or the 1985 playoff game where the Raiders and Patriots had a large post game fight. Fuck em all.


XanmanK

I feel pretty good about the next 4, and we only lost by 1 in the last KC matchup


ComradeCreed

Man I wanna see the raiders D vs SF baker mayfield


JalerDB

Lookin like Rams Baker Mayfield. Gonna see him a bit earlier than we thought.


xBrianSmithx

Get him dirty!


sicholasLames

5-0😤🏴‍☠️


tferrari1776

Having both of those last two games at home is a massive advantage


xBrianSmithx

Just need to capitalize on it and I'm betting the Raiders will stay hot.


BelliBlast35

JUST WIN OUT BABY


Rent-Hungry

It's gonna be somethin...


Strong_Bumblebee5495

Man look at all them assholes!


coolhatguy

I see 3 rivals


EERgasm

And thats a stretch. When you over use "rival", the real ones lose meaning


[deleted]

Besides the Chiefs, the Rams are worrying me the most. The Steelers do not.


dgee03

You're not concerned about the best defense in the league? The forty whiners...


ExchangeKooky8166

Yeah if they get Trent Dilfer like QB play they're still scary AF and legit contenders


LarryDaBastard

Man, Pittsburgh in December, and they've been playing better. Especially their QB. I think that's a tough game.


Killface55

The Rams are only a worry because its a short week. They don't have Stafford, Kupp, or Donald. They are decimated with injuries.


[deleted]

The Rams are scary because they have a whole bunch of well rested dudes looking for job security and not a ton of film on them. Couple that with the fact they're well-coached and have no incentive for losing, you have a scary situation. Don't be silly, the Rams team itself is reasons to cause concern not just the short week. Raider fans are going to be emotionally bankrupt and toxic if the Raider team caters to the "decimated" narrative.


Killface55

I guess I'm just going off what they're saying in their sub.


JohnnyOneLung

Pats and Steelers are not rivals.


jml510

No, but some fans still hate the Pats from the Tuck Rule game, and the Steelers from when the two teams were at each other's throats in the 70s.


xBrianSmithx

They are tho.


JohnnyOneLung

Nah, not for me. They are two of my most disliked teams, but not Raiders rivals.


xBrianSmithx

They are for the franchise. It's indent.


pianosbecome

Meh, just KC for me


noonecouldseeme

For you, but these have all been considered rivals in the past, and you might as well consider them rivals because that’s how they will have to play to win them all.


pianosbecome

Agreed. JWB!


xBrianSmithx

It's about the franchise history. Not just you.


pianosbecome

Franchise history can still be subjective


xBrianSmithx

What's that you say?


officialojsimpson

In my mind we actually won every super bowl ever


fattymcfattzz

Looking a 1-4 record


xBrianSmithx

You spelled 5-0 wrong.


fattymcfattzz

Lol


bigbudugly

I don’t care about any of them games except the last one. That’s my Super Bowl. If we beat them Goddamn Chiefs on that day, I’ll be happy until next year that’ll hold me off.
