The New Era Begins, The Unofficial Official Game Day Thread
Training wheels come off, it is time to make this a reality.
Welcome to the NFL Mendoza, and welcome to being the leader of the Raiders Klint Kubiak. Let's get this thing going. And yea, as always, I sipped the Koolaid.

This is a really good pointJRaider17 wrote: Thu Aug 13, 2026 8:34 am This year preseason truly means more. Not only do we have a new staff and the number 1 pick, but when you take into account that last year the olds taff did not even try with their rookie class, this preseason we are basically watching for like 20+ draft picks. Not to mention the UDFAs that have created a buzz.
The whole game will have actual points of interest rather than just a drive/quarter.

It possible we hit on 4 to 5 late picks.
Benson, Massss, Washington, McCoy and Zuhn. Stukes?
Or maybe its the yearly camp buzz click bait...

Far be it from me to set society guidelines but I don't think any guy should ever use the word guzzle in any reference. Just doesn't sound right imoAmish Cabal wrote: Thu Aug 13, 2026 8:19 am Preseason last year, we could tell the o-line was junk game one. Turned out to be a "harbinger of things to come". If the line seems to have it together, I'll guzzle the kool-aid. The one-two punch of Jeanty and Washington will be fun to watch.
and It is great to finally have football back! Looking forward to seeing what is on the field and how the game is called by coaching staff. Also great point about seeing the 25' draftees play finally. Hope runs eternal for us and I really hope sustained good to great football is finally here for the Raiders.

Good morning gents!
More excited about this game than I expected to be. Not sure what to expect, but I'll be keeping my eye on both lines.
Heading to the stadium in about 3 hours. Weather is surprisingly cool after a brutal month. Chance of showers, and I hope it does.
Good to see everyone, we need this.

Each subsequent pre-season will mean more until we turn this around.
It was critical last year to and the year before and the year before...
Everything felt better each year as we took out the previous season "trash" are replaced it with "better" people.
Until we turn this ship, we are stuck here.
Now I'm hearing The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
We are at the point where there is no wind for our sails.
We carry the curse of the Albatross.
Until we don't.

Oline/Dline. Running game. That's what I'm hoping to see thrive. The run game is going to be so vital. It's been a couple years of dog shit running the football and it cannot continue. Of course I want to see Mendoza do well. I want to see all the QB's dice it up on down to Aidan

It legit feels like a home game for the first time in a while. One of my boys is wearing his Raider Carr jersey, the other is wearing his for the Saints. I’m gonna try not to be embarrassed or get beat up.
