Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 10 minutes ago, JGMcD2 said: All the Brandon Staley worship needs to stop. i agree. It is absurd. When they released that video of him talking about running the ball, the media started fawning over him. This, despite all him saying was that running the ball keeps defenses honest. then the media went bananas over his comments about Gruden resigning. And of course over all the 4th down analytics stuff. Not saying he is a bad coach, but the media has been obsessed for no real reason over him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as how we backed into the playoffs 4 years ago to break our drought.... 3rd and long - Dalton is intercepted...and then the flag is throw... 4th and 12 - Baltimore cannot make a play.... That too against a Bengals team whose season was already lost long ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 1 hour ago, Joe Ferguson said: Rewatching it the Raiders were in Shotgun and were pry going to run the ball on 3rd down and then try a long field goal. Staley called timeout under 40 seconds so the Raiders could've kneeled it if they were playing for the tie. I think the timeout call by Staley was the right one to get their 3rd down defense ready. They just didn't execute. This looks to me like a really stupid controversy going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 What a freaking ball game that Raiders - Chargers game was!!! The Raiders season began with a bonkers OT game and their regular season ends the same way. Congrats to Vegas. They have had to overcome a lot this year. They deserve it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't understand the uproar about the timeout, it didn't look like the Raiders had any intentions of letting the clock run out.

Seems like a d**k move by the Raiders to win the game when a tie gets both teams in. But I guess the Raiders would prefer being a 5 seed as opposed to a 7. Then there is the divisional rivalry. Wouldn't we want to stick it to an AFCE rival? Edited January 10, 2022 by PromoTheRobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you play to win the game. I think the dick move would have been kneeling on it to keep Pitt out. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty rare a team just steamrolls it’s way through the playoffs True, but I think you need a little luck on the field in terms of health, officiating, and bounce of the ball, but not in seeding. Good teams get on rolls and win anywhere against anyone. To win it all you have to be the best team. Rarely do we look back and say the best team did not win it all.

When you get an opportunity to eliminate a divisional rival you HAVE to take it. No one knows your team better than teams that play you twice a year. Could you imagine "letting" the Chargers win and make the playoffs...only to have them eliminate you down the road? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargers messed up lol Well they were going to run a play on 3rd and 4. Likely a run... and staley called timeout for a personnel change. The new personnel gave up 10 yards on a run play they knew was coming - thats the sad part in all this. If its a no gain stop I think the raiders run the clock out - I'd rather play KC than have this blocked or returned, and play no one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were running a play on 3rd down but then they were not gonna try a long FG on 4th down. They were going to kneel down. Once they gained 10 yards the FG was much easier and low risk.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 If they beat Cincinnati they play tennessee if buffalo wins, or KC if NE does (I'm assuming pitt loses because they can't score points). I'd say most likely scenario is they win and play tennessee - a team they are fully capable of beating if they can continue to limit the opposing run game.
