The name “Oakland Raiders” died on Sunday, culminating in an exciting, but ultimately unfulfilling 16-15 loss to the Denver Broncos that seemed to carry parallels with the entire season.
The Raiders 2019 season has been quite intoxicating at times, as the team has shown flashes of brilliance with a young crop of talent serving as the foundation of the future. They fought through an insane schedule to start 6-4, but stumbled with a 1-5 finish that should leave them unsatisfied and ready to put in work.
Before we transition into full offseason mode, or full Vegas mode if you will, let’s take a moment to appreciate the highs and grumble about the lows of today’s last-second loss.
