It is said that every year, after the last unbeaten team in the NFL is defeated, the surviving members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins pop open a bottle of Champagne. This is to celebrate their legacy as the only team in NFL history to go perfect. There is one other team with a similar perfect record. It is said every year, when the last winless team gets a W, the 2008 Detroit Lions pop open a bottle of Maddog 20/20 and play Russian Roulette. They are not the only winless team in NFL history. They are however, the only established franchise to go winless during a full NFL season. They were so bad, they were the greatest shame of Matt Millen's executive career. And he was the Chairman of The Second Mile. And just like the Miami Dolphins, it looked like that record would never be broken. Until now.  That's right, with each week, it becomes more and more apparent the Oakland Raiders may be the second established franchise in the NFL to go a full NFL season without a win. Reason 1: Schedule  Yikes Reason 2: Coaching  Yikes Reason 3: Facilities  YIKES Reason 4: Management  YIKES! Let this thread be a celebration as arguably the worst team ever fielded in the history of modern football marches their way to glory.

Holy gently caress I didn't realize how bad the Raiders schedule has/will been/be until that handy image with logos. The only team anywhere near being as much of a disaster was the Jets week 1 and that naturally is the only win the Jets have this year.  Look at it this way Raider fans, Carr has been pretty decent for a rookie QB thrown into a terrible, terrible situation and that #1 overall pick can be traded away for a bounty of picks your FO (or new FO maybe?) totally won't piss away on garbage for once! Or take the best bomb rear end player available! Win win right? Hell, Mack has been a very nice addition so that pick wasn't blown either. Carr and Mack are two solid building blocks for your next HC to scheme around because they won't be an utter and complete joke as well!

I want the Raiders to be good again. I hate when once proud franchises are reduced to this  Also I think the black hole is cool and dressing like it's Halloween is cool.

To be fair if there is any team in the league that could somehow find a way to lose 18 games it would be the Raiders.

I think the Raiders are better than their record suggests. They should get 1 win in there somehow. Derek Carr looks pretty good and they got rid of their awful coach. ... they'll still get 1st overall, though.

The only real possibility is maybe Buffalo if Orton is injured or goes on a bender and is MIA for gameday, maybe the Rams if they take a huge poo poo on the field... Or Week 17 when Denver may or may not be locked into whatever playoff seed they end up with so they rest Peyton.  Week 17 might be their best bet at this point.

I argued the same about the Jets two weeks ago. Both teams have been fighting, but nothing goes their way. I'll accept some blame for this though. My argument in the offseason was that the Raiders were such a joke, they had to overpay aging veterans that weren't really wanted to try and build a presentable roster and erase the stink of the last decade, and that clearly hasn't worked. They have the potential (man Mack looks good) to build a roster, but they're basically a few baby steps past where they were last year. Very few good players, a half dozen acceptable, and then a roster of awful. To be wrong again, I think they should draft heavily next year on OL or the front 7, just best player on either first 3 rounds to try to fix the trenches. The receivers are a total nightmare, but I think there, their best bet is to overpay (they have to) some B guy so Carr has someone to throw 150 pass attempts at. Won't be efficient, but if Carr's at least standing up they can hopefully give him the time to develop without dying.

The Raiders will sneak in 1 win before the end of the year. My guess would be either the Charges, or the Chiefs because the Raiders usually (always?) manage to steal a win in one of those games no matter how lovely they are. Their last 3 games have all been relatively close, and they've shown they aren't a total dumpster fire (yet). Also Carr looks like he has a lot of potential and Mack is legit.

The Buccaneers were so bad they should've folded the team and brought the Bandits in when the USFL folded.

It is said that if you go out to the Oakland practice field at midnight on a full moon, you can still hear the cries of Dennis Allen's career symbolically buried beneath second base

Losing four Superbowls. The original Hail Mary was thrown against them. Going 15-1 and losing in the playoffs in 1998. Superstar RB turned out to be a terrible father. Christian Ponder is still on the roster. I'm missing a few.

Even if the Raiders go 0-16 I still think the 2008 Lions are the worse team. Unless they also lose a game on something as insane as the Orlovsky safety.

Watching this team is a dream come true compared to watching the '06/07 squads. It's like every week there's a chance for this team to prove it isn't one of the worst teams ever and..and it just doesn't happen. Every game has a "welllll, if they didn't commit that ONE turnover it's a close game" Athanatos posted:They will beat the Browns AND the Jets Oh boy, might wanna sit down for this one
