The Raiders Bandwagon Passes By
So around this time last year, I made a comic with these two teams and bandwagons. It’s kind of funny to look back at that comic now with the result of this season so far, because it almost takes on a different meaning. Last year around this time the Raiders were okay, looking like a promising young team with some issues. So did the Vikings, but the Vikings were actually really good, and for whatever reason nobody was noticing. This year, that comic reads like the Bandwagoners have given up on the Vikings after their current slump and the Raiders guy makes even more sense.
Now the Raiders might legit be the second best team in the conference behind the Pats, and is now the team to beat in the AFC West, probably the best division in football. It took a bit of a slow start, but the Raiders are starting to find a groove and play like the dark horse many expected at Season’s Start. Derek Carr is the real deal. Coop and Crab are great fun to watch. Jack Del Rio is a fun coach with big ol’ balls. The defense has a bunch of studs. The stadium is kind of shit (well, not kind of) but the Raiders are good again and it’s honestly one of the few really fun, quality things about this underwhelming season of football.
The Vikings, now that’s an interesting story. This year they weren’t ignored. This year they came out and blasted away at teams for 3 weeks with an incredible defense, and people noticed. I saw legitimate Sam Bradford MVP chatter in week 4. The Vikings effectively got crowned kings of the NFC after week 5, and then…the next 3 games happened. The Eagles beat them up with a rookie QB (and the Eagles haven’t really looked great since). The Bears of all teams managed to beat them. Then the Lions beat them in overtime. That’s two major divisional losses in a row. The offense is garbage, and Norv Turner left, giving Bradford yet another system to learn behind the offensive line equivalent of wet tissue paper. Matt Asiago Cheese sucks. Straight sucks. Now the Vikings are possibly in freefall and the wide open division actually kind of seems like it’s leaning towards the surprisingly decent Lions now.
you know something’s wrong with this entire year when the detroit lions are not entirely sucking, as well as a number of other things
So Tom Brady’s Not Not The GOAT anymore?
But he could also be not not not the GOAT
Autumn wind is GOAT
1-I hope they stay in Oakland
2-Can someone tell me how the Chargers vote went
Majority voted no on C. They can’t pass the tax to fund the new stadium.
The Chargers vote failed pretty badly.
Chargers to LA, St. Louis, or San Antonio by 2018
Screw how owners demand billions in taxes and then threaten to leave if they if they only get a billion
Damn…I wanted Seau Stadium
They voted no on C. They can’t build the new stadium through the hotel tax.
I see we’re still acting like the Kansas City Chiefs don’t exist.
Who?
I really hope the Raiders can win 1 more title while in Oakland.
Autumn wind is the GOAT nfl films thing
Also, 2014-2024 Raiders=1989-1999 Cowboys
Just because the Chiefs are super boring, that doesn’t mean they aren’t a great team, Dave. Both those teams have 2 losses, but one went into the other’s place and beat them in basically every facet of the game.
And of course, once we have a chance to tie up with Minnesota, we lose. Way to go, Green Bay.
Why does Derek’s nose look like Phineas from Phineas and Ferb haha
Hey, where’s Perry (Riley)?
If you made this a week later you could show a falcon eating a dead eagle on the side of the road
Gronk approves of that mileage sign.
you mean, “Carr Bro-rator”
I was actually hoping for a Carr eyeliner joke
Yeah, I don’t know why, but every time I see Carr, I feel like he should be wearing eyeliner.
David is crying in the corner
