Nothing, it sounds like we're stealing "Way" from the Patriots and you can have it.Dark Horse » Thu Feb 29, 2024 1:34 pm
We aren't stealing it from them. I'm pretty sure AP said this to make a clear distinction FROM the "Patriot Way" that was attempting to be implemented here.SkullCrusher wrote Thu Feb 29, 2024 11:01 am:Nothing, it sounds like we're stealing "Way" from the Patriots and you can have it.
Just want to win more, don't need slogans. Some cool nicknames that are deserved along the way are good though.

The Raiders Way:Southshield » Thu Feb 29, 2024 3:05 pm
One of my favorite sayings ever.Ivanavich wrote Thu Feb 29, 2024 1:34 pm:The Raiders Way:
The HC/ GM are proud to be the smartest guys in the room.
The players are proud to be 1st round draft picks who are the most talented players at their positions.
All the players play to win and make the playoffs.
Players fight with each other and with AL, it's desired.
In 2024
the fans version of the Raiders Way:
Don't try to be the smartest guys in the room. Stand at the rear of the line and copy off everybody else's papers.
Sign starters from the 6th round, 7th round and Undrafted categories.
Put every player on a '1 year prove it deal' and cut everybody who deserves to be paid via top level performance on the field last season.
Worship players with 'feel good stories.'
2024 fans suck.

I completely forgot about Singletary. It's interesting you brought him up. He too went 5-4 as interim. Got the job full time. Went 8-8 the next season and then everything fell off. Let's hope that history doesn't repeat itself.heavyD wrote Thu Feb 29, 2024 6:18 am:Sour grapes for sure but AP’s brashness is pretty unconventional for an NFL head coach. I just wonder how this approach will resonate if the team struggles. The only name that comes to mind for a comparable is Mike Singletary and when things started going south for him it really snowballed. That said players are different now so maybe this approach can work. Time will tell.

Renegades, washed up old players who resurrect their careers, not caring what anyone else thinks, physical type play, imposing their will. Close knit fanbase thats scattered throughout the world and kown as The Only Nation in professional sports. Bad guy image but really we're the good guys, the team of the people, who must defeat the corporate media hyped bullies. If the Bad News Bears were a football organization, they would be the Raiders. Always the island of misfit toys, never playing by the script.Vercingetorix » Fri Mar 01, 2024 9:04 pm
100,000,000 thumbs up! Absolutely!GUYDON wrote Thu Feb 29, 2024 6:45 am:Lombardi can stfu. He is a weasle.
The Raider way is to be feared on the field. To be a little unhinged. To not make friends with your opponents, but try to drive them in to the ground.
Raiders are for Raiders. They dont care what people think or what the crowd is doing.
They want to go out and hit you so hard that you quit. They should be able to score on you from anywhere on the field.
When bombs dont work they pound you with a relentless running attack.
We all know what the Raider way is, its Lombardi who is clueless. He a weasle that was just trying not to get fired by Al.
i think Al would have loved AP.

The Raider way to me is nothing more than an expectation.raider_kin » Thu Mar 07, 2024 9:57 pm
I would add "a bruising power running game".JP808 wrote Sat Mar 02, 2024 11:11 am:Raiders football to me is the following:
- Raiders vs the world
- Speed
- Dominant OL and DL
- Physical football with “ill intent”
- Vertical Passing Game
- Getting after the QB
- Lockdown corners
- “Touchdowns not first downs”
- More Speed
The good news is that this is what AP is looking for. Excited to see Raiders football again in the coming years.
