1. What happens in the playoffs.
While the Las Vegas Raiders continue to look like a team that can make a run towards the playoffs, they haven t achieved that goal in three years. Unfortunately for Raider Nation, the team’s implosion last season was particularly bad and seems to have brought about the what happens in the regular season. stays in the regular season.
In fact, The Raiders were 6-4 in their first ten games last season but lost back to back run-away games against the New York Jets and the Kansas City Chiefs. After those two blowouts, the Raiders only managed one more win in four games, which left them 7-9 and unable to secure a wildcard spot for a shot at the postseason.
2. Toilet Bowl Stadium
There s cruel and then there s photoshopping an NFL team’s new stadium into a toilet bowl cruel. Unfortunately for the Las Vegas Raiders, that was the reception they were met with when they decided to uproot once again and go all-in on Las Vegas, Nevada. What makes the meme even weirder though is the fact that it came at a time when the Raiders went 7-9, which wasn t even the worst record in the league.
In the end, this speaks to the toxicity of many fanbases in the NFL and how low others are willing to go for a laugh. With that being said, however, and the Las Vegas Raiders showing many promising signs of success in the upcoming 2020 season, they might end up getting the last laugh as they flush their competition down the toilet.
3. Crazy Raider Fans
They call fans the Raider Nation for a reason- they are a group of diehard fans who love watching their team play. Unfortunately, some of the fanbase is a little rowdy.
If you are a fan of a rival team and attending a game at Allegiant Stadium, you might want to mind your P s and Q s. Either that or face the wrath of a hyped up, angry and maybe even drunk Raider Nation. Maybe just put on a black Raiders shirt from the merchandise stand so you can make it home in one piece. Raider Nation doesn t play!
4. If 2020 Was a Football Team
Funny how once again the other NFL fanbases choose a 7-9 team to showcase how bad a year is when there are several teams below that standing. Of course, people might be referring to the inner struggle that the team has been having with staying consistent despite a lot of big-name talent on the team, but again, there are teams that are literally worse off!
For example, what about the Miami Dolphins, who went 5-11 or the Cincinnati Bengals that went 2-14? Aren t they a better representation of what 2020 the year has been like? Heck, what about the 3-12-1 Lions? Aren t they absolute dumpster fire right now? At least be accurate when your meme-ing!
5. Last time Raiders were in the Super Bowl.
Of all the memes on this list, the one featuring Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble watching the Las Vegas Raiders back in the day is by far the lowest blow. Why NFL fans always go below the belt with teams they don t like is not really known, but it might just help them feel better about how much their team is struggling right now.
It s just so funny to use a kid’s television show to show people when the last time your team was in the Superbowl. Not only does it basically say that the Raiders haven t had a title in a long time, but it also shows today s youth just how miserable it can be sometimes when your team is struggling to make waves.
