Gardner Minshew: I saw more middle fingers in Oakland than I had in my whole life

Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew will go down in history as the last quarterback to win an NFL game in Oakland. Raiders fans let him know they didn’t appreciate his accomplishment.

Minshew said today after engineering a last-minute comeback win over the Raiders, in the final game ever at the Oakland Coliseum, that the Black Hole was particularly rude to him.

“I probably saw more middle fingers today than I have in my whole life. They have a good time, man. It was fun to ruin that for them,” Minshew said.

Oakland fans have never been known for their subtlety in expressing themselves, whether to the opposing team, the referees or their own team. Minshew can take pride in being the last opposing quarterback ever to infuriate those fans by beating their team on its home field.

  1. In fairness, beating that “team” hasn’t been much of an accomplishment for quite some time now.

  2. It’ll be interesting to see how much different the persona of the Vegas fans will be in comparison to the Oakland fans.

    Carson Wentz is about to be 0-5 vs Dallas he’s a loser

    Congrats on your Cowboys for finally beating a team with a winning record today.

  4. Raiders couldn’t beat a team that has clearly been tanking since Ramsey’s “back injury”. It was quite refreshing to see all the Raiders fans broken spirits. Word has it the stadium will be detonated tomorrow at 9am.

  5. The last game in Oakland, and THAT is the best game plan you can come up with against the jags?
    Gruden’s gotta go.
    He’s completely destroyed Derek Carr’s confidence.
    The stillers are winning with their 3rd string QB because they are well coached.
    Gruden is not a good coach.
    His play calling is garbage.
    His plays are garbage. It seems like every DC in the NFL knows all of Gruden’s 1999 playbook. They know what he’s going to call as if they were in the huddle.
    He hired a defensive assistant to be his DC.
    These players in the 21st century don’t want to play Gruden’s small ball offense. That’s why AB wanted out.
    They want to be on the high light reel. They want to get the call from Deion Sanders for ballin out.
    Gruden doesn’t give them a chance because he calls plays like a puss.
    They don’t want to get 3 yards on 3 rd and 7, then punt the ball and hope that they can “back in” to a win because the other team ran out of time.
    Al Davis got rid of him 20 years go for not being able to pull the trigger in the moment of truth: 3rd & 7 at his own 23 yard line, with a 3 point lead at the 2-minute warning.
    He’s content to keep the ball in play to keep the clock running, and PUNT after making 2 yards in 3rd and 7.
    THESE PLAYERS DON’T WANT TO DO THAT YOU IDIOT.

  6. Gues it’s called “Minshew Mania ” ?! How much you making off that trademark from your HATERS ! LOL !

    Can you tell me why AB signed a contract to play for the Raiders then? He didn’t want out until they were going to fine him for taking practice days and meetings off.

  8. “ It’ll be interesting to see how much different the persona of the Vegas fans will be in comparison to the Oakland fans”

    Not really. That stadium will be 80-90% full of opposing fans not Raiders fans

  9. ““I probably saw more middle fingers today than I have in my whole life. They have a good time, man. It was fun to ruin that for them,” Minshew said”

    I like the way this dude thinks. Hard not to like this guy.

    Why do you think he was taking practice days and meetings off?
    He has seen enough in the time he was there.
    The stillers are winning with their 3rd string QB!
    Derek Carr was a pro bowl QB until Gruden showed up and tried to turn him into Brad Johnson.

  11. My Raiders are heartless and have no guts. From the owner to the head coach to the guys at the end of the bench they all just don’t give a damn. Everybody is getting paid and winning is a “well if we do we do if we don’t we don’t” deal. None of them care. They only want to get into the Nevada desert as soon as possible. Good riddance.

  12. Minshew had two late TD drives to come from behind on the road. He’s just a rookie, and rookie QB’s are ten times better in year two. The Jaguars have found their QB. It will be interesting to see how big of a house cleaning they do this off-season.

  13. As a Ravens fan I hope the Jags roll with this dude as their WB if the future. Give this guy a WR alongside Chark and Westbrook and more help on the OLine and he’s really going off

  14. Sorry, but rookie QBs are most certainly not just automatically “ten times better in year two,” so you need to immediately check yourself on that one.

  15. Why would any raider fan want to support an owner that has screwed them over and looks like someone from “Dumb and Dumber”?
