That was all from last year after the win over KC. And that was even BEFORE you all won 2 more in a row (Buffalo being one of those two).
So, yes, some DONKEY players, coaches, and posters here were really starting to feel themselves in the midst of that little streak. There's more I could pull but that was just a sampling.
You, MHM, and MagicHef at least still seemed somewhat grounded in reality based on your posts at the time.
So you're equating not deciding to blow up the team with thinking the team was "really good."
You do realize there are things a team could be other than terrible or really good, right?

Seems the Raiders led in all categories except the most important one.
I didn't see the game, but if you were to look at just the stats, I think you'd assume the Raiders would have won.
Regardless, it was a win by a large margin over a divisional foe and cemented you guys in 2nd place in the division. Were I in your shoes, I'd be ****ing ecstatic. It's so much better to win than lose, even if you know deep inside that your team has a long way to go.
Truth be told, once it was 10-10… the Raiders kind of stopped doing much. The great bulk of their production was in the first 3 drives. They had the 13 play drive that ended in the TD, making it 10-0. Denver gets a FG and then the pick 6 on the next two drives in the 2nd quarter to tie it up.
Then it was 4 punts, an INT, another punt and another INT with Denver putting up 34 unanswered points before LVR got the trash TD late.
Once their 3rd drive of the game ended in the pick 6, there was truly no threat from them and that was most of the game.
