Raider Nation Gives Team a Heroes' Return

"We can't even get out the parking talk about real fans and the strength of the Raider Nation." Jerome Boyd tweeted that as 100s of Raiders fans greeted the team on their return. It's just another sign of how much this win meant to a Nation mourning the loss of their leader.

Great show of strength and solidarity by the Raider Nation.

Absolutely amazing footage thank you for posting

Made me well up all over again thinking how amazing that would have been for the team and especially for Mark and Carol seeing that kind of outpouring of support.

Never have I been prouder to be a part of the Raider Nation than today.

thanks man.

never expected this video to get 5000+ hits. Raider Nation is awesome like that! cant wait for Cleveland!

That video is so fucking cool man! Thanks for posting it!! Gotta love all those giant smiles and Jared Veldheer hugging that little woman

Richard Seymour once again showing he is the leader by being the first to go by the crowd, Jason Campbell also showing the love! Everybody should watch this, it’s long at 7 minutes but you will smile though it all at the faces of the players.

It was so incredibly awesome, emotional and surreal to be out there tonight!!

I had a night tonight that I will not ever forget…I was on the KRON newscast tonight after they interviewed me. It was such an incredible day and one where I felt so proud to be a part of the Raider Nation!! I cannot even express how amazing it was to be out there!!

There is no A in OFFENSE!!

I am a very cynical jaded wise ass of a grown adult

I teared up watching that….

days like these are when I pity all those not fortunate enough to be born or naturalized into this Nation

Hue, like this team of Raiders, is becoming more powerful with each passing week. The man's charisma makes the difference

Well, I hope it isn't Kool Aide. And I'm well aware that we could have lost that game if any number of plays had gone

the other way. We’re still way out of position on D – leaving guys wide open and unattended. But we do play the full 60 minutes with heart and are as physical as any team in the league … leaving a trail of broken bones and torn muscles in our wake.
