*Reader's Discretion Advised*
Last time on the Silver and Black Shitshow, the Shitshow showed how much they cared about their Bay Area fans, going out in the Bay Area in a blaze of glory in typical Raider fashion. They lay down to the Red and Piss Gold Fucks behind an undrafted rookie who hasn't played a single down. The 49ers may have won the last Battle of the Bay, but the Raiders won the war. Much to the dismay of us here in the Bay Area, those picks are planted for the seeds of Vegas as time winds down for the Raiders' 2nd tenure in Oakland. For who knows where they'll play in the 2019 season.
To ensure nothing disrupts the tanking process, the Oakland purge continues as Bruce Irvin is the latest victim to get the axe from the Tank Commander himself. It wouldn't be long until Brucie finds a home. The 2nd half of what was the Slash Bros. flocked over to the Dirty Birds' nest in Atlanta to reunite the Seattle ties with Dan Quinn. Poetic justice that the Falcons get stymied by the Cleveland Browns of all teams since they got Irvin.
In this chapter, the Shitshow travels back up to I-880 to battle against a red-hot divisional rival. Well, it's not the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers come to town and they are hot on Kansas City's tails in the AFC West race. I'm sure we were all expecting the Chargers to come in and put up a major ass whooping. Shockingly, it was not. The Shitshow actually competed against a much more talented team. The Chargers did all that they could to channel in the Chokers and choke this game away early on. But, the Chargers came to the realization that they have a playoff spot to clinch. The Chargers regrouped behind their trio of Rivers, Allen, and Gordon as they helped generate some scoring. Meanwhile the only thing the Shitshow can generate...is a 42 yard fake punt run by Johnny Townsend, the punter who can't pin a team deep. Yeah, that'll get the Black Hole excited! The offense had it's moments here and there, giving some hope. Then, proceed to put the entire Coliseum at nausea with stalled drives and Checkdown Derek eating a fistful of turf as he gets sacked 4 times by a Joey Bosa-less Chargers defense. Oh, but they still have a chance. 4th down and 5, they gotta convert to stay alive in the game. Checkdown Derek proceeds to throw the ball away like it was a third down play. If that isn't signs of a tanking team, I don't know what is. Even some more NFL vets who thought they were gonna help take this team to the next level don't want to be a part of this rebuild any longer. According to one unnamed player sums up the thought of the vets on this roster: "I gotta get the fuck outta here." Honestly at this point, who can blame them for wanting out of this dumpster fire?
Oh hey, at least the Giants beat the Niners on Monday Night. We're #1 baby! #1 in the draft let's not kid ourselves.
