Dan Gross Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 What makes you think that Norv didn't bring it up? Also, he didn't start his post game comments talking about the TD. He was asked about it, and he responded that he would've taken a knee, etc. Honestly, I view it as a non-issue, but to each his own. 486925[/snapback] You of all people should know there's no such thing as a "non-issue" on the Stadium Wall, Campy.

Dan Gross Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Truly. I guess I lost my head there for a second. 486932[/snapback] Now, apparently calling out the coach for calling out the Raiders is the equivalent to fans calling it an issue, from the merge-job that just happened. Why merge these two and not the 30 "Here are my thoughts on what's wrong with the team (which are too important to stick in a reply to an existing thread)" threads?

Johnny Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Right now I want to see if he has this team ready to play in New England. Thats the team he needs to "circle in blood". 486926[/snapback] very true...but to circle a game on the schedule in blood you have to be somewhat talented......that'll come hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know my plans for fun this afternoon though: I'm going to start merging "TD BAD" posts into the Lost thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll turn it around and ask what's the reason for the Bills to stop that last TD? At the end of the day, it doesn't effect anything. Kneeling the ball shorts sportsmanship which is apparantly lacking in Oakland. Dungy didn't say, "Hey Texans, stop us if you can!" and try scroing again with little time on the clock. Why not? Because they have sportsmanship. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM was asked a question, and he indicated that he was angry about his football team being embarrassed. How could he disregard this and make it appear OK for his team to be abused? There is an unspoken code against doing this. Gibbs could have done it to us in the superbowl but did not. Remember? Nah man, I gotta strongly side with MM here. Jmo.

youngunz Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 A little faith in MM has been restored Raiders Show No Class: Since Sunday's loss Coach Mularkey has made a few comments regarding the Raiders running up the score by going in for a touchdown with :14 left in the game. He discussed it with Raiders coach Norv Turner after the game and Turner said that Mularkey would understand in the future. Mularkey said he would take a knee in a similar situation like he did last year against St. Louis. Turner said the team wanted the score so they went for it. The Buffalo News reports that sources say Raiders owner Al Davis is upset about the touchdown since it rubs it in against his friend, Ralph Wilson.

Dante Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 that's condescending"one day when you grow up mikey, you'll understand what it's like to be norv" 487242[/snapback] It's also BS. I cant remember the last time I saw a team score that late with the game well in hand. Just in college games. Turner is a moron and he fits the Faiders just fine.
