Isn’t success in football based on performance? We beat the Titans and Jets bro. Don’t act like we won against great teams.

I'm not acting like we beat great teams. On the contrary I cautioned against putting too much stock in the Jet's performances, like most people.

Again that's terrible logic though. You can't cherry pick performances. Just because you don't perceive the Titans and Jets to be worthy opponents doesn't mean you can pack those narratives to fit your narrative that the Raider's performance the entire 2017 season is indicative that we're trash and equal to years past.
 
Every time I see SS covering Mike Wallace or any other speedy WR

Somewhere Bill Musgrave is smiling. Raiders window was last year despite how bad the defense was then.
 
I have though. The defense is trash.

Some of you guys let your emotions get in the way too much. :lol:

Objective viewing tells us the defense hasn't played like trash or been pathetic in any game leading up to today except maybe in Washington.

Before the gymnastics in logic begin, no that doesn't mean they've been playing amazing either.

Why are you so sensitive? This team is currently trash. We gained barely gained 100 yards against the Skins. Offense was weak again last week. We’re not looking much better this week, but I’m not allowed to say that last year might have been a fluke? Mmmk bro. You’re making it seem like we’ve won 10 games for consecutive seasons. We made the playoffs last year for the first time in more than a decade. Yes, last year can very well be a fluke.
