What today was really about - RIP COACH DAVIS

While many people were more concerned about the QB situation there was something much bigger going on the all true Raider fans will recognise.

Davis, who died Oct. 8, was entombed at the Chapel of the Chimes during a private family ceremony held before the public was invited in. The 102-year-old facility rests at the base of the east Oakland foothills and overlooks the city’s downtown area.
Three Super Bowl trophies won by Davis’ Raiders teams were placed on top of the vault containing his body, which is marked by a replica of the NFL Hall of Famer’s signature. A single Raiders helmet sat alongside the trophies while four bodyguards wearing white shirts stood watch.
A large photo of Davis wearing his traditional white Raiders warmup jacket and sunglasses was placed on the front of the vault, though a spokesman said the picture would be replaced by a permanent plaque.
A day after the Raiders held their own tribute throughout Sunday’s home game against the Cleveland Browns, fans trickled in to see the place where Davis’ body will now rest.
Davis’ vault sits right next to the site for blues legend John Lee Hooker. Fans of Hooker make an annual trek to the grounds to pay their respects, something Raider fans probably will do as well.
“Now we have two legends here,” said longtime Raiders fan Sean Haley, who lives near the Chapel of the Chimes. “You hear a lot about how the Raiders would be better off without (Davis) but as soon as he was gone people started doing a lot of self-examining and said the guy truly will be missed.”
Bouquets of white flowers began to pile up just outside the side entrance to the mausoleum. Fans were allowed in for four hours, though a facility spokesman said he expects much bigger crowds this weekend.

While I understand that we have to move on I can't help but feel a little uneasy with all the roster movement (and new fans) happening since Mr Davis' passing its not that i don't agree with the moves it still all just feels too soon to me especially on the day of his service.

I know for many of us Mr Davis is never far from thought but please take a moment to remember the great man and all he did for the game and most importantly his and our beloved Oakland Raiders on this day of his funeral service.

RIP MR DAVIS.
