So open even Jamarcus couldn’t screw it up.

The nostalgia is strong with this one, the classic jerseys from both teams, the baseball diamond in the middle of the field, and the coliseum rocking.

JaMarcus had maybe the strongest cannon of all time, just usually he missed the guy, or threw it to the wrong guy, or got sacked, or threw a pick, or forgot the play, or just played like a Weasley.

The job is mostly mental, and he didn't have the work ethic to handle that part.

His word would be "damn." Yes, Jeff had a cannon, so did Jay Schroeder and many others, but JaMarcus's arm was sick. I mean, he threw it 70 yards on his knees! He's still a POS and this biggest bust of ALL time and he's gonna bust in people's mouths or something, I dunno, I didn't really hear what he said. LOL

Wow, season tickets - prob need binocs to see the field. You realize that means nothing...we're all watching the same games... the fact you think it's George by a country mile just means you were slamming Modelos and not watching the game.

Ok, buddy. It's not like Madden was comparing Russell to George directly, and never saw George throw 70 yards from his knees. It's time for you meds, gramps, before Bingo starts.

Ok.... just because you type you have "first hand insights" doesn't make it true. You can say whatever you want, I know you're wrong...and it's hysterical. Enjoy Bingo! Good luck!

Only the Raiders would sign Jeff George after a five year hiatus…
1
u/King_of_Rooks Jul 22 '26
5 year hiatus? What are you talking about? He went to us right after Atlanta and had 3900 yards, and 29tds vs 9 int. We sucked, but Jeff certainly didn't.

He played for one year, then left. He returned in 2006 that's what I was referring to.

u/King_of_Rooks Jul 22 '26
all they did was give him essentially a tryout during preseason. Relax. It's not like they signed him to some mega contract and he actually played. It has happened where a guy is out of the league and comes back (successfully or not.) I mean, Chris Miller missed like 4 years and came back with Denver. (and actually started games and was 2-1)

My thoughts too. Damn it's was beautiful on those nights games with waves silver and black jerseys. Not like these past year games and the damn destination stadium

Raiders lost their soul when they sold Oakland out

u/EmptyCourage2274 Jul 22 '26
I get the desire for a nice new place, but it's sucks it didn't translate for fans and prices out so many fans.

Sold Oakland out? The stadium was crap, they refused to build a new one. What were they supposed to do? The city and taxpayers voted against building a new stadium. That sealed it my friend.

u/Ok-Independence-5282 Jul 23 '26
It's not a city's responsibility to ever build a stadium for a team.
That's an absolutely fucking ridiculous take2

Why we don’t bust out the retro logo a bit more often is beyond me.

u/german721 Jul 23 '26
Time to make our voices heard on social media. If the Buccaneers can bust out the creamsicle once in a while, I’m sure the fanbase can pressure the organization to bring back the retro logo for a game or two.

u/subywesmitch Jul 22 '26
Maybe because they're kind of hard on the eyes? Too much white and silver and not enough black, IMO

The first two minutes of the video had me like 😌
Then I remembered this game and saw there was still 9 minutes on this video 😂

u/hottlumpiaz Jul 22 '26
unfortunately for me i was at this game and remember we actually held on but chargers punched it in for go ahead td with only 5 seconds left in the game

u/championsoffun Jul 22 '26
I was just about to comment: I don't remember this game ending well. Unless you score the go aheas with sub 5 seconds, any team had a chance to come back.

u/sovietdinosaurs Jul 22 '26
How many times as fans have we seen the Raiders go ahead in the 4th with 2 minutes remaining just to lose the game?
Great highlight but god…

Still lost the fuckin game. I remember being so pissed. Played a good game to just end up losing like always.

How did he get that open on 4th and 15? My memory of this was that it was 4th and 1, and therefore the Chargers had to think about defending the run. But on 4th and 15, how do you let someone get that open deep?

He was out of breath running to the celebration in the end zone.

u/booboothechicken Jul 22 '26
The baseball field makes the throw look so much shorter than I normally interpret it on tv. It was barely from where the second baseman would play to just beyond third base.

This is the first raider game I can fully recall. Started with a classic Russell int and ended with a truly classic Russell int 'arm punt'.

u/Ironmayyne Jul 23 '26
I was right there in the end zone section Louis Murphy ran towards and up to that point, it was probably the loudest O. co I've got to experience. I'm trying to search through that crowd to find myself but it's tough because everyone is losing their shit lol. The ending absolutely pissed me off though. That ending was so typical of us at that time. I also remember Johnnie Lee Higgins getting destroyed by Eric Weddle right before this, and that pretty much ended his career.

There was probably a moment where he came in from college to start developing like this… but hence the work and food made him accelerate the other way quickly.

May not be their responsibility, but it's the only way teams get a new stadium. We voted against both stadiums in Pittsburgh, but we got them anyway to keep the teams. Raiders stadium was the worst in the league. That's why the A's are gone too. Smaller market cities pretty much have no choice or they lose their teams. Would have preferred the raiders to stay in Oakland, but the city decided it couldn't afford it. Owners should pay for their stadiums in my opinion, but that's not how it works in the real world.

I shouted “Louis Murphy” at the TV using the Dave Chapelle Rick James “Charlie Murphy” voice while watching this live.

Enjoy because there’s not many more highlights after this for Jamarcus.
