Wife is asleep next to me, and I literally almost jumped out of bed on that throw to Williams. 

How can she sleep through this?

 

I'm wound like an 8 day clock.

She’s not really into football anymore.

Chargers are lucky that face mask wasn't called.

Yup

[Indyfan4life]

There’s no way this will end in a tie. Right?

[Happy2BeHere]

This is crazy! What would a bet in Vegas that this game ended in a tie would pay ?

[Gramz]

Why call the timeout?

Oh well, it was a

Fun fun game!

[Happy2BeHere]

There it is! Raiders win the game. I really thought the unimaginable of it ending in a tie was about to

happen.

[chad72]

Oh well they made the Steelers sweat it out and the Steelers got help from their arch enemies in the 70s, the Raiders. Go figure!!! Staley’s 4th down costs the Chargers again.  

[Indyfan4life]

They had Jacobs stopped there, and no one tried to wrap him up. That was it. Stop him and force a 55 yard FG. 
 

Steelers are the luckiest damn organization in the entire NFL. 

[Lancer1]

Rich Bisaccia is the coach of the year!

Smh

Fun fun game!

That was an awful awful timeout..

[RollerColt]

What a season for the Raiders. Only thing that sucks is we were 2 seconds from having the Steelers out of the playoffs.

Staley should have just let the Raiders go on running the ball without the timeout or used his last timeout to ice the kicker.

They’ve been lucky ever since the 70s.

I agree.   Scratching my head on that one.

Only 1 guy has more luck, he has the Steelers number and 7 SBs  

[coltsleafs]

Imagine watching this game if the Ravens would have won earlier

[Gramz]

G'nite all.

 

It's been fun.   I'm going to try to sleep

Chargers GM Tom Telesco needs to slap Brandon Staley around a little and lecture him about in-game strategy - the GM puts together a roster that beats Kansas City & a bunch of other teams, and they lose out due to the coach's impulsiveness.

Tom Telesco is from the Bill Polian tree, not his style and if the coach is on good terms with the GM, he gets to stick around in the NFL. Jason Garrett is It’s an example of a yes-man, and Marty is an example of a strong headed coach that got fired

He got a lot of Reich negative qualities in him lol.

It was pretty stupid - I think the Raiders were gonna attempt a field goal anyway (with nothing to lose) but the timeout allowed them to get into easily makeable range.

They seem to find ways to win. I wouldn’t look past them.

He fired both Mike McCoy & Anthony Lynn after 3 seasons apiece, and both of them made the playoffs & won a postseason game. (Thanks to Philip Rivers)

Neither would I, but Big Ben is shot - doesn't mean he can't get it done though, Peyton was a shell of himself when he won it all with Denver, a great defense can carry you a long way in the playoffs.

 

Even if the Raiders lose next weekend at Buffalo, this season has been a success for them and Bisaccia should get some serious consideration as the Raiders coach going forward.

He’ll be their coach. Absolutely no reason not to keep him around.

Even if the Raiders hire someone else, Bisaccia will probably interview and get consideration from some of the numerous teams with coaching vacancies this time around.

It was stupid.

Up this morning drinking coffee and replaying (in my mind) that insane game last night.

 

As disappointed as I was in our loss, I'd be downright * if I was a Chargers fan.

 

It's a very good possibility if they hadn't called that *ic timeout, they'd be in the playoffs.

I was thinking the same thing, their coach has done strange stuff all season. I am not sure how I describe our season. One minute I am thinking we are a SB contender, then the next I really didn't but yesterday blew me away.

Extremely stupid.   He shouldn't be fired for it, but he should be put on notice.

Nagy and Zimmer are gone.

Monday morning head rolls...

 

Interesting to see if we have any here.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That Flores firing is shocking. Wonder if it has to do with the Watson stuff. Maybe the front office wants Watson and Flores didn’t.

 

TUA would fit Reich’s system well if only he would cost a ton of draft picks lol.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Some good DC candidates if colts want to make a move. I can think of 3.
