Restoring The Legacy: Raiders

[JLWebb]

Think of it this way... no one else on the board is siming that far in advance; so you would be giving us something a little different.

The Raiders now call Farmers Field across the street from the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. The NFL let Oakland move after negotiations with the city fell through on an upgrade to the Oakland Coliseum which would have kept the team there for at least another decade. Instead Los Angeles quickly swooped in and offered $500M plus Farmers Field which was already in the process of being built to the Raiders to move back to the city they left decades ago. New Owner Jak Mehoff jumped at the offer and filed paperwork with the league. Surprisingly the Raiders still pulled go attendance despite leaving Oakland, having better attendance than Jacksonville, St. Louis, and Arizona. The pressure is on now under the bright lights of Los Angeles, where a win now attitude reigns supreme. With many other options in town, the Raiders will need to win, and win quickly to capture the hearts and minds of a fan base they had left long ago.

Wow, Clowney was a steal for sure. What was Archer's stats for the season?

He ran for like 725 yards and 5 touchdowns, he also caught 20 balls for 135 yards and a score.

Aaron Murray threw for 3,404 yards, 17 TDs 13 INTs, and now with Jeremy Maclin, Torrey Smith, Denarius Moore, and Mario Manningham....he has targets for days.
