I agree they should have kept Bisaccia, but It looks like when the Raiders fired Mayock, and with them getting Dave Ziegler as GM, Ziegler wanted to hire “his guy” in Josh McDaniels. It’s honestly pretty common when there are new hires within organizations and they don’t have any attachment to any of those guys before them.

I am not a Raiders fan by any means, but Rich Bisaccia should be hailed as a hero to the Raiders and fans, just like John Madden. Getting all that scandal on his plate and still managing to get the Raiders as far as he could and into the playoffs, is nothing short of amazing and a true testament to his leadership. Raiders showing him the door is by the far the worst decision the Raiders could have done. At least, have him stay in the organization, especially with what he has done for them. That is a "job for life" type of deals.

[@talocobadger4486]

As a raiders fan if they had him stay in the organization while a new HC took over, there was good chance that the locker room would have split allegiances. If Bisaccia was kept as the head coach, more than likely they would have kept Olson and Bradley as coordinators. Olson was one of the worst offensive coordinators out there. Bradley was more meh than anything. The Raiders in a way needed to wipe the slate clean. They needed to rid themselves of the Gruden-Mayock era. Unfortunately Bisaccia was a casualty of that.

[@AC-oy3xf]

As a Raider fan I love Bisaccia and his leadership was amazing. He’s a great leader and ST coach. But he doesn’t really have the skill set to be a head coach in the NFL. We got a hopefully improved McDaniels and Patrick Graham (one of the best dcs in the league) joining our coaching staff this off-season. Plus it was just time to clear staff from the Gruden era and just completely rebuild the leadership of the organization. Do I love him, yes. Am I happy we went a different way, also yes.

I remember getting a text from my dad during the Week 18 Chargers raiders game that we had bet $250 that the raiders would win. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire game.

Did they really “deserve to make the playoffs” though? Their only good wins all year were against a hobbled Ravens team in OT, the Cowboys game which had about 100 combined flags, the Colts game where Wentz totally shit the bed, and the Chargers game Week 18 also in OT (after the Chargers shit on them earlier in the year). Then they went to the playoffs and got bounced immediately. They had a cupcake schedule and had a lot of *on-field* luck.

As a Chargers fan (a true one at that), while I was furious at the Chargers losing in week 18, the Raiders earned that win. They did everything correct for the most part in order to win and they won it fair and square. I want to say everything that happened off the field made the Raiders stronger and playing for John Madden was the icing on the cake. I really think the Raiders can do damage this upcoming season. Derek Carr to me is underrated and he doesn’t get his roses, especially when he has to march the Raiders down the field to get Carlson in field goal range. This season, particularly in the AFC West, will be interesting to say the least.

He’s still the weakest QB in the AFC west. No playoffs for them

[@ohnobro1424]

I can’t wait to see what happens with the division next year

4:32, 5:26 Love the sound editing in your videos! 😂 And at 7:35, WHOA! 😨

The most amazing part of this was Daniel Carlson making it out of the hell that is Minnesota to become a great kicker.

Throughout my years of watching the Raiders, 2021 was such a wild ride. I’ve always expected them to break once it got to the second half of the season, even after everything they’ve went through, they STILL managed to find a way to win. 2021 Raiders was a team of resiliency, and I hope they continue this in 2022.

Now they start the 2022 season 0-3 and Josh McDaniels proved that he is still not head coaching material

The fact this is a 22 minute video, says it all 😀 (8:39, Thanks for showing her and her dog, Tree)

Rest in Peace Bill Russell

Love all you're content tree. You're the best. Still impressive they made the playoffs. I was at that giants game in metlife. Raiders fans travel well

[@thunderpantz]

Derek Carr might be the most underrated QB in the league.

[@42nick56]

IVE BEEN WAITING ON THIS!! THANK YOU TREE

[@BOS_C.O.]

Crazy how the Raiders managed to fight through what should've normally derailed and implode a team. I will still never forgive Staley for fucking up the glorious tie

[@kurtpunchesthings2411]

yea no because that would go against one of their Core beliefs " Just Win Baby " I'm sure you remember who said those words

[@matthewshortle5274]

A tie would've been hilarious because the Steelers would've been eliminated and Tree would've been pissed.

[@ohnobro1424]

@@matthewshortle5274 this video would’ve been even better

Another fantastic video. Please consider a special video on how you put your videos together, although you might not want to give away Trade Secrets. Where you get your footage, your incredible editing, your story telling style flows beautifully and you repeat your themes when events warrants to keep a constancy that is hard to achieve. I can't imagine how long these vids take you to produce and upload. Oh... and your research is amazing, considering the wide spectrum of sports that you look at. You put the regular media to shame, with their big budgets and blow-hard talking heads providing no insights at all. BTW, as a Maple Leaf fan, I enjoy hearing you say "High Priced Talent"! BTW, looking forward to your likely video on the Boston Sad Sox implosion.
