Sadly, the ‘worst’ memories have piled up

Sometimes, our weekly Tuesday Community Question can serve as some therapy time.

Sometimes, it helps top talk it out and discuss the pain.

And, sadly, we know there has been long periods of pain for the great, passionate and faithful members of the Raider Nation.

The current situation, of course, for the franchise isn’t great, but there have been worse times for this fan base. Our Tuesday Community Question this week was what was your worst moment as a fan of the Raiders?

Unfortunately, there have been a lot of moments that are worthy of being a “worst moment” for Raiders fans. Again, sometimes, it helps to express your thoughts.

Here are some of your responses and he’s to better times soon:

Exiled Raider
Lol, my worst moment as a Raider fan?
I’m not dead yet, which means I probably haven’t seen it yet.
When I started following the Silver and Black Plunkett was slinging the ball. We were a powerhouse then with playoffs almost guaranteed every year and two Superbowl wins close together. But Plunkett retired, Bo got a career-ending injury, and we came down to earth.
Finally, Gruden and Gannon came around, and for a moment it looked like we were on our way to proving that greatness lay ahead. But Al couldn’t handle sharing the spotlight, so Gruden got shipped off to Tampa and embarrassed us in the Superbowl.
But the worst came soon after. All, realizing his mortality but not his shortcomings in a new era of Football, made mistake after mistake and we became bottom feeders. His son, a smart business-man turned out to be horrible as a football guy, and with two short exceptions, we remain a bottom feeder.
But hope springs eternal they say, so here I am still.

Indy!
50+ years in the Nation means a lot of bad memories. I had trouble deciding since all the games, plays, etc… already mentioned apply – it’s hard to pick one. But I think one of the biggest mistakes we’ve ever made was hiring McD. Just totally unbelievable to me and I suspected on day 1 it would not end well. But nobody could predict he was going to do this much damage to the team.

The Tuck rule was the worst for me because all my Mom’s side of the family is from Boston. Having your grandmother, who never liked football, call you and tease you and you can’t say anything back because it’s your grandma was horrible. Here are some others that rank high on my list:
Brett Favre MNF game after his dad passed
Marc Bulger first start (2002) beating us
Jason Campbell breaking his shoulder
Tyson Bagent beating us
Baker Mayfield off the couch to beat us
Andy Dalton and the Panthers beating us
2009 opening MNF loss to the Chargers after we scored on a 4th and long from #2 to Murphy
Almost every 1st round draft pick the last 20 yrs (outside of Mack, Jacobs & Brock)

Bloodylimey
Tough call.
Just a couple of examples:
Going back to:
1990/91: AFC Championship game- 51-3 loss in Buffalo, after losing Bo Jackson… forever.
1995: OT loss in KC. when in FG range, decided to go for the extra yards, on a rub route over the middle to Tim Brown, only for the Zebra to ‘rub’ TB out and James Hasty returned it 64 yards for the game winning pick-6.
I was watching in a bar with 2 KC fans who I worked with… oh, the horror!
then a month later, attending the Broncos game with my Ex (A Bronco fan)
getting shut out 27-0…
Still the Raiders were 8-2, heading for the PO’s, then Jeff Hostetler gets mashed in the Cowboys game, season over, 6 straight Losses to end up with a 8-8.
This season specifically hurt, as that was the season I felt most confident in the Raiders

Rob Lytle fumbled.
Tom Brady did too.
The beatdown by Tampa.
Bo Jacksons injury.
Living in Portland and being force fed Seattle Seahawks games after 1976.
I still hate the Sea Chickens to this day for that reason alone.

Nunchucks
Way too many worst moments as a Raider Fan to list…2003 to 2024…Loss after loss after loss…coach after coach after coach…QB after QB after QB…Consistently the worst Defenses any professional team has ever seen year in and year out!…Even the water boy sucks!!!!

Big Dog
Al passing and leaving the team to his clueless son.

TheGhostOfJanikowski
1. Tuck Rule
2. Trading Khalil Mack
3. 2002-2024
Honorable mention: 2016 Carr’s unnecessary injury
Millennial Fan Alert…I haven’t seen this team win s**t

IoRaider
This past 20+ years of being a fan. After our last super bowl loss, I’ll I’ve mostly known is losing…
But to be more specific, I’d say Christmas Eve of 2016 is definitely up there.

OLD BHOY
Viewing:
  • Tuck rule, going from winning and advancing to the screw job in a couple minutes. I remember being in stunned shock.
    Bo being injured and finding out later he was finished.
In attendance:
  • The Monday night game vs KC when Jeff George was the QB and Grbac hit Rison in the corner of the end zone on the last play of the game. I have never seen such a pissed off parking lot.

Tough call between ‘Tuck Rule’ and SB loss to Gruden. But there are so many more as well. Rough being a Raider fan. It’s an abusive relationship.
