We also got 13 years in Los Angeles. That will also be part of our DNA and now we’ve got 30 years ahead of us in Las Vegas. I love the Raider Nation. Always have. I have never had a problem with them and I don’t think they’ve ever had a problem with me. Obviously a lot of them are disappointed that we are moving the franchise at this point in time, and I can imagine some of them are upset, but they love the Raiders. They are a part of it."
— Owner Mark Davis talking to NFL.com
“Pretty intense fans. It’s like Halloween every Sunday there. I mean, it’s a great environment. But, yeah, the Oakland crowd was a lot more intense than the L.A. crowd, and we’ll miss it. We’ll miss it.”
— New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick
“It’s the Oakland Raiders. It’s the appreciation, the loyalty that these fans I think have had for the Raiders. We’re going to miss them. The relationship is hopefully never going to end, but it was sad walking in here today. It’s a lot to wrap your arms around. We love our fans. We love the city of Oakland. We thank them and we’ll certainly miss them.”
— Head coach Jon Gruden

‘We have to be a much more detailed football team'

NEWS & NOTES
The Raiders had one of the easier schedules in 2020 and got only eight wins to show for it. Things won’t get any easier in 2021, either.
Looking back at 2020 season
The 2020 season will absolutely be remembered for being one of the strangest and most disappointing in franchise history.
Gruden feeling the heat?
“I know there is a big bull’s-eye on my chest, certainly. If the people want to use that as an incentive, then so be it. I worked for Al Davis in 1998. That was pressure. I was 34 years old. I’ve dealt with pressure before. I don’t really feel pressure. I love the excitement and thrill of competing, and I can’t worry about things I can’t control in that regard. I know people will want to step on me and beat me, and that is just the way this league is.”
