Chargers vs Raiders

[TheCardinal]

Terrible

 

[GatorAZ]

Why did they call s TO??? Raiders were running it out!!!

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Raiders we’re going to let the tie happen.

 

[thirty-two]

Ugh lame!!!!

 

[Beaver]

lame

Stokley has **** for brains

 

[TheCardinal]

Chargers’ time out didn’t change anything. It was under 0:40, play clock was almost out. Raiders should’ve still let it run out after the next play.

 

[Proteus]

Wow. Great game.

Glad it didn't end in a tie. I find tied games distasteful. Deliberately playing for the tie would be even worse.

Embraced his inner KK….

Raiders pass defense in last few minutes makes the Cards look all pro

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

What a monumental moron!

I don’t think KK is that stupid to go for it on your on 15

Raiders were content with the tie but the Chargers had to go and screw themselves

I think so too. I think the chargers forced their hand. Stupid chargers.

Nah, ours is still worse.

Raiders were going for a win or tie. Chargers timeout didn't make any difference. They could not stop the first down and made the decision easier for Raiders.

Not if it eliminates the Steelers.

 

[TheCardinal]

The smart play was still to let the clock run out after the first down. The game ends and you are in. With the FG attempt, a block can cause you to lose.

It would have meant the retirement of Big Ben.

The Raiders were in the playoffs regardless

Didn't he go for it at his own 20 today?

 

[TheCardinal]

The Raiders do improve their seeding with the win vs the tie.

Agree. I don’t get it. Taking a knee and letting the clock run out and get into the playoffs is the only risk-free play. Weird.

At first I thought chargers coach might have been wanting to burn timeouts to show Raiders they weren’t a threat to score if they got the ball back.. but that didn’t make sense in given the situation. Like another poster said, it was late in the play clock, maybe he thought raiders weren’t just playing for tie and wanted a different defense.
