I called the Raiders 2 weeks before the season Opener to buy tickets to this Sundays game, they only were selling season ticket packages. They restricted the sale of the Pittsburg game.

How the Raiders manage to lift a blackout during the Steelers bye week is remarkable!

Raiders fans travel more? That is a joke. You can’t even sell out your home games unless a popular team plays there. Take off the homer glasses.

Yeah, get a new GM in there, but give the HC one more year to do the best with the pieces he acquired.

Steelers also have a large bandwagon fanbase around the country due to being revelant recently.

———————————–

Recently? They have 6 Lombardi’s and only two of them came “recently”. The Steelers have been selling out road games around the country for 4 decades. That’s one old bandwagon.

87 blackouts since 1995. LOL.

Cross country trip for Pittsburgh, banged up and a bad offensive line the Raiders can do well against.

I admit I overestimated the Raiders this year (I’m a fan what can I say?). I had us at 9-7 now it looks like we’ll be in the 4-6 win range.

Give Reggie McKenzie time (took over a tough situation) he will get this once proud franchise back at the top of the NFL.

Congratulations! 85%… very impressive. Lol. No doubt they will be 0-5 at the very minimum.

===============

Its b.s.- the game was sold out a full 3 days before the deadline. Pittsburgh travels….but they dont travel THAT well.

“This marks the 10th straight regular-season home game that sold out in advance of the league-mandated deadline, 72 hours before kick-off. The Raiders sold out all eight of their regular-season home game last season.”

===============

I guarantee I see more Raider fans travel to other stadiums than Pittsburgh fans. And year WE UPSET THE STEELERS IN THE 2-14 season – and in 2009 with Bruce Gradkowski

get over it, already. You may win the battle – but the match^up is still LEGENDARY no matter what our record.

I doubt the Raiders have played the Steelers 10 games in a row.

Losers.

No other NFL team draws more interest, win or lose.

I can’t wait to hear the deafening silence from these same donkeys when the RAIDERS start hurting some feelings.

Now the Raider fans can see their team go 0-3.

That’s ok Raider fan. You’re still the blackout champs with 87 blackouts and counting since moving back to Oakland in 95. You will be getting that 88th blackout in the near future. Keep your head up.

Normally the Steeler fans out number the home fans at away games.

Allen only coordinated 1 year and then jumped into a HC job.. Sadly for raider fans, i think he’s well over his head..

—————————————————————

Always a spot for a gratuitous Steelers are great and here to save the day because what would the NFL do without them remark.

Hey Oakland….. Thank God for the Steelers, otherwise you would not get to see your local team play. Just wanted to let you all know.
