[@autumraider6796]

I’m with you and the team coach! Let’s go!!

[@rich6965]

Ty for your service DA. If you don’t wanna be a part of this then peace out and best of luck bro. No hard feelings but raider nation over everything

[@DeZHDSocial]

RAIIIIDERS!!!Let’s go, WE ARE WITH YOU AP!!!

[@gnarlyishellagnarly]

WORD!

[@Sir_TerrenceWilliams]

We rocking with you AP

[@deziemperez3337]

💯💯💯

[@Stros98RN4L]

AP keep building that culture in Vegas man. Any players that can’t get with it can kick rocks.

[@jessegarcia5385]

AP IS THE MAN

[@MR.RA8ER]

Coach AP on Jakobie“ willingness to block, unselfish and Team Player” says all we need to know the DA issues.

[@dvdndsWill]

He plays like Hines Ward, but more athletic. ✌🏾💪🏾

[@dubya2010]

I thought the same. He definitely made it a point to point that out about Jakobi

[@murfdizzle4shizzle]

💯 💪🏻

[@zacksheehan2346]

While I agree that’s the right way to play the game it’s kinda of a double sided sword. Be awful to see him get hurt doing something other than receiving

[@lonniealexander4655]

AP was right about saying that the Broncos defense is really the reason why the Broncos have won back to back games. Just put pressure on Nix and watch him get rid of the football at or near the line to scrimmage. Always keep a spy, just in case he tries to run.

[@RaiderDeb75]

AP!! Love that Next Man Up attitude!! Love that talk about the unselfishness!! Past few days have been a mess. But like most of us have been saying. Time to move on. Youngsters have that drive and that heart! 💯. Beat them Donkeys boys!! 🏴‍☠️☠️🏴‍☠️☠️

[@dreydenn]

Honest opinion on the DA situation is that maxx Crosby has gone through way more bs with this organization and is willing to push until we get that bowl. DA isn’t a true raider never was , never will be . Maxx is a true raider down to his heart and soul. DA can go win a ring with KC for all I care we’re gonna grow with or with out him. Bless up raider nation n keep yall heads up

[@Eddy25]

Maxx was ready to leave this past offseason if Pierce didn't get hired. It's only a matter of time if the losing continues and Mark Davis gives up on AP too soon that's when he'll voice his frustration.

[@Brock_Bowers]

@@Eddy25CAP🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢

[@benlara941]

What happened to once a raider always a raider?

[@Eddy25]

​@@Brock_BowersCap or Facts? Maxx did voice about a trade if AP wasn't hired, also since he's been with the Raiders he's on his 4th coach now Gruden, Bisaccia, McDaniels, and Pierce. If things don't pick up and if they decide to quickly fire Pierce after this season or next I'm sure he'll voice his frustration and not deal with another rebuild

[@SP-kt5ot]

Difference is maxx was drafted here and went thru everything davante wasn't and isn't used to losing

[@marioserrano6333]

THAT'S MY COACH 👊🏼

[@erickfuentes6337]

Man AP has grown so much as well as a coach we Rock with you 🤟🏽💀

[@Greggyboyz60]

Thats my Coach. AP. GO RAIDERS!

[@jessecardenas4321]

Let’s!!go!!RAIDERS!!💪🏼

[@ceciljr.valenzuela1843]

"Unselfish players"-- i heard that-- good luck in denver coach Pierce-- GO GET 'EM!!!!!

[@PopGuala]

Hope Mayer is good and returns soon !

[@ProtectrLifenLiberty]

AP is a real Raiders Coach. I had hoped we would have smoked a few teams and be at least 3 and 1 with the NFL media going oh my zebra's help us, but that was unrealistic. I'm still an AOC guy but what do I know. RNFL since 1968

[@darlenewhite5082]

I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU ON BEING AOC FAN, AND I SUPPORT HIM IN PRAYER AND ALWAYS ASK GOD TO PROTECT HIM AND HIS FAMILY FROM ALL HARM AND DANGER AND THE NEGATIVE THINGS THAT COME OUT SOME SUPPOSED TO BE RAIDER FANS. THE BIBLE SAYS " THERE IS LIFE AND DEATH IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE" THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS " TOUCH NOT MY ANOINTED ONES AND DO MY PROPHET'S NO HARM." AND SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW IF AOC IS ANOINTED BY GOD, THEN KEEP YOUR NEGATIVE COMMENTS TO YOURSELVES. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU ALL THAT TALK ABOUT HIM GET OUT THERE AND YOU DO BETTER YOURSELVES. HOW ABOUT THAT? MY GRANDMOTHER TOLD US "IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLOSED"

[@stldame5485]

God bless the Raiders. Raiders born, Raiders bread, when I die I'll be Raiders dead!!!!! RAAAIIIDEEERS

[@raiderraz]

I’ve got a bad feeling that the “Donkeys” will snap their current eight game losing streak to us. Hope that Crosby is available for this big divisional game. 🥊🥊

[@thejuice5966]

A.P. 💪💪🍻💯

[@AlwayzDope]

Lets go U & Raiders! On tha road to 6-0 & 3-2 🍺🍺

[@luisgalvez4303]

IN AP I TRUST 🍻😎

[@S.dot187]

THATS HOW IT SUPPOSED TO BE COACH AP WE WANT ALL MISMATCH BLOCKING ASSIGNMENTS IN OUR FAVOR! Our tight ends should be out there to destroy d-backs, Any underSIZED offensive line assighnment should be destroying linebackers only or doubleteaming and we should have other O-linemen that hasn't had the chance like Meredith to see if he run blocks better than WHITEHAIR! With the right heavyweight o-line core of guys with the best runblocking technique against the defense at every position on our offense there should be a lot of defensive players being thrown out of the club by our Raiders just like when Gronkowski showed and said before on MONDAYNIGHT FOOTBALL! GREAT JOB BRYANT AND BOWERS THROWING THE BROWNS D-BACKS OUT THE CLUB!

[@adrianomartinez9792]

This game feels like it’s our biggest yet with all the noise around us, another win on the road without tae and MAXX98, against a divisional opponent 😮 looking forward to this game 💯

[@pressures.coming]

I'm tired. Just win...

[@KingRusss]

JT dancing around the DA situation. SMH 1 lay up question, really??? the entire sports media is talking about trading Davante and you ask “how is Davante” cmon

[@osaji922]

Even if he asked, it's not like AP's gonna say anything juicy. Just keep watching the lamestream sports media.

[@fOODfiGhtEXploitS]

Were with you AP, but stay off social media from now on. Were above that BS

[@JordanPapaCorral]

Must win this week

[@EchoMountain9]

🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@CountingCnotes]

Ap over da

[@kitfox2932]

FIRE AP. BRING BACK GRUDEN! Is everyone forgetting that AP liked an Instagram post talking about DA being done with the Raiders? What coach does that? AP needs to mature as a coach.

[@frankford2207]

That's....hypothetical to say what AP did but ignore what gruden did

[@stevenmurphy2351]

Only 2 of gruden’s draft picks are still with the raiders. Also he brought in Antonio Brown and let Khalil Mack go, who absolutely destroyed us. Gruden 1.0 was great - Gruden 2.0 was a train wreck and I haven’t even mentioned all ridiculous emails, texts and calls that led to his firing.

[@SurprisedBirdBath-qf4so]

AP using un selfish player saids an all u need to know about Adam’s…In AP we trust!!! GO RAIDERS!!!

[@louchelada8296]

Cowboy fan here..that hates giants...but damn he gets the best from them....

[@Jonny-wt3rg]

Brock is a better running back than White. He runs through tackles, and White gets tripped up by a finger on his toe.

[@penvandermeer7071]

I'd like to suggest a three team trade. Jets get Devante Adams Falcons get Gardner Minshew, Haason Reddick, Raiders and Jets 2nd round picks Raiders get Michael Penix.

[@somebodyclipthattv852]

THATS MY MF COACH

[@ericpangilinan3249]

Why don't you ask him hard question

[@mrbuttons1243]

They're employed by the Raiders, they're not supposed to.

[@mrbuttons1243]

They're employed by the Raiders, they're not supposed to.

[@raidernationbymyside]

Let's Effin Go RN4L!!!!

[@MarK_LII]

Don’t need Adams. Get a lineman & pick(s)

[@AndrewEvenstar]

Not even mad about DA. He isn't on our timeline, and is a distraction since camp. That being said, I don't blame him for wanting to leave either

[@jeffrhorer1811]

What's up with the ten year college suspension for AP? Maybe he's not who he seems to be.

[@cedraidnation6874]

Rrraaaiiidddeeerrrsss

[@SizzelRizzel]

AP doesn't put up with bullshit and he doesn't hide it and for some people that's too much to handle, don't be soft

[@courtlandbrady5847]

You guys need a decent qb and a CRAZY GOOD run scheme with great TE usage. I think that'd be the raider way. Mean, gritty, tough football with a top Defense full of Dawgs to go with it. Embrace the Raider name. Be mean.

[@frankford2207]

People wanting to know about DA are worrying about the wrong things. At the dnd of the day its all about who can get the DUB

[@JoeJohnson-pf5uo]

That's a big diamond. He has made some bad decisions

[@LetMeHelpOut]

We need to start AOC

[@JoeJohnson-pf5uo]

I'm thinking the same about the running back. Give the ball to your best players. And stop throwing the ball 4 yards when we need 7. Damnit. Pukesy has been awful. Play calling is absolutely disgusting

[@jasonbates3513]

RN4L!! Gruden for OC

[@Barber.Joe.]

Please fix the issue. Don’t trade AD!! No more rebuilding!!!

[@mcordice72]

Don’t trade a WR that will not run block. On a run heavy team. 😂 DA can go.

[@marioserrano6333]

Do you mean Davante Adams?

[@SB-rk2hb]

No, we'll be all right, man, let 'em go

[@vicsacramento6180]

I wish we would smart up and start Aiden O'Connell!! JUST WIN BABY!! 🪖

[@DjLoidHvMercy]

Raiders might want to sit this one out! Pierce might get fired after this weekend, leaving my high with a doughnut, 97 yards passing and 42 yards rushing. Don’t even get on the plane.😂🙌🏾

[@TimothyZollin]

Poor thing -- school was rough on you

[@DjLoidHvMercy]

@@TimothyZollin indoctrination camps were a breeze, I was taught at home. I feel sorry for you because you have learned absolutely nothing, you don’t know how to take care of yourself, you can’t survive without your phone and your an emotional man and that should never happen. it’s all entertainment and it’s the Broncos turn again. The Raiders will never see another Super Bowl in your lifetime. You’re better off jumping the fence and coming over here where we don’t let emotions get the best of us.RIDE OUT!

[@JoeJohnson-pf5uo]

I think trading Adams is a big mistake

[@chriscoleman5238]

For those wondering why they didn't stay on the DA situation, why should they? DA is a dead issue. The who done it and why, at this point doesn't matter. I love my Raiders, but i have no confidence we win in Denver. It would be great to have a Cinderella season, but i just....cant...see it.

[@Danxdae]

4 game losing streak loading

[@billyj9168]

better not ruin our winning streak

[@KennyPhillips-v8k]

All in on AP sucks DA and DC didn’t workout but it is what it is

[@andrewgordon9318]

Effort, WRs blocking, Unselfish - Coach digging out 17 while not digging out 17.

[@henrygucci360]

All I know is we don’t need a head coach liking IG posts about his own players. I don’t rock with that.

[@JoeJohnson-pf5uo]

I'm not sure if I trust the raiders head coach

[@vtholmes8439]

I seem Brock getting pancakes and chop blocks

[@RAIDER-sf3wk]

Cheerleader

[@tayloradams8587]

Everyone went so quickly from "nothing wrong with davante" to "he can kick rocks, classless player anyway" Wonder what/when AP's narrative will change to "amateur hour from a washed up one year wonder"

[@tayloradams8587]

How is anyone going to pretend that Davante Adams is the problem?? Or convince themselves that we're better off without him? The Raiders are probably going to get nothing in return for him, make a strong team even better, and end up paying part of the mans salary when he no longer plays for us...cuz that's modern raiders football. How is AP actually changing the culture? we've seen this story of ineptitude before

[@1213157]

AP RAIDERNATION4LIFER LETS GO GET A 🏆 WIN

[@fredwhite5610]

Every week we gotta here is Adams leaving, it’s getting old. If he wanna go , get him outta here ✌🏾👋🏾

[@Michael-y9d6m]

ROFL! Raiders with suspect QB play?! ahahaha! IF IT WASN"T FOR BAD BQ PLAY - RAIDERS WOULDN'T have ANY QB PLAY AT ALL! Worst HC, GM, OC (there's never been anyone this bad) AS A RAIDERS FAN OF 40 YEARS - LET ME BE CLEAR - Raiders had a short window of a new found culture (these last 3 years - that's over! it's over! it takes years to get to that point and in a few moments of constantly hiring the worst staff - the locker room is lost). The players on this team will now begin staying in shape and trying to look decent (not get hurt) until they can be traded or let go in free agency. IT IS OVER! We have seen this sad story before. Adams is leaving and by next Near - max will request a trade. GETSY will destroy anyone player drafted. TOM T will continue taking best on board and building the worst O-Line from UDFAs and 7th round picks. it's LAST priority! AP - AT least get on the same page with your GM and STOP SAYING The game is won in the trenches! REVISE your statement to - the game is lost by taking best on board and NEVER building the trenches! IF RAIDERS had drafted BEST OTs in ROUND 1 the last 6 years - they would have one of the best lines in the NFL. NOPE! more projects (which have 100% FAILED! Raiders have never once took a project player in round one and had it work! How's that DE who could not learn any technique after 4 years in COLLEGE!? Wasn't that a great idea! pass on Carter!? Calivn Johnson is in the HOF - did not help the lions win anything! So TOM T - draft Bowers! wow - did they work or what?! (NOT! to be clear because i know the staff of the Raiders are very slow and when you say "did that work out of what?!" they will think it was good. IT WAS NOT!!) This is the worsts staff in the NFL. What a disaster! The players on this team are now going back to the culture they had before this culture started to turn around. At least AP can yell RAAAAAAAIIIIIIDDDDDDERRRRSSSSS!!! It's over fans! it's over! Players on this team will all make executive decisions (milk their pay checks and not tray in the least). TOP drafted players - 100% destroyed by Getsy. WHAT A SAD JOKE!!

[@CasonovaCorkClub]

I don't know how Antonio Pierce expects the players to ignore this crap between him & Davante. .. Gotta stop shooting ourselves in the foot year in and year out with this garbage.

[@ZYXW000]

Ill be so happy when DA is gone ive been waiting since last year worst mistake we made was bring his toxicicity to the team and selfishness to the nation hes ties with jamarcus russell for worst decisions we made 😂

[@SalomonGomez-i3k]

Nice earrings!….

[@CMOSkrill-Tv]

AP

[@xianzfg]

AP did something with Green Bay.

he was a red zone guy in GB, not a drive guy...

[@xianzfg]

He started drama in Greenbay....same thing as he's doing in LV

[@Ak-zf5rb]

Broncos going to whip your asses

[@JoeJohnson-pf5uo]
