The were a force through the mid 60s through the late 80s
The 60s, you ever hear of the Mad Bomber, Warren Wells,Ben Davidson?
The 70s,
You remeber (The Snake) Kenny Stabler, throwing bombs to Cliff Branch, and the Greatest offensive line ever, and the Greatest defensive back field ever with Jack Tatum, George Atkinson, And Willy Brown
The 80s
We had Jim Plunkett throwing bombs , and Marcus Allen running through the NFL, on his way to the hall of fame !!!
Also had a great defense those years!!!
The 90s weren't so good for them because Al Davis kept moving the team or even threatening to move, but with the way the NFL is run these days and with free agency and the players salarys, even Robert Kraft had to BLUff our state for funds to keep them from moving to St. Louis!!!!
Since the year 1999, they have the best winning percentage of any team also, excluding last year of course
