Chargers and Raiders going to overtime.

[MarkDallas]

Crazy

 

[DoomSlayer]

This is insanity. I lost count of how many 4th downs they converted.

 

[wsjmsu75]

Is this when they confer with each other and agree to tie?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Josh Jacobs said eff that. Dude is rolling.

 

[FlotownDawg]

They converted three 4th and 10’s on the final drive and scored their first touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 4th and 21 play. Raiders better score a TD on this drive because Chargers offense is hot.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Another converted 4th and long.

 

[57stratdawg]

Charger FG and kneels! Do it cowards!

 

[DoomSlayer]

This game is just nuts. Some nervous people in Pittsburgh right now.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

They’re real nervous now.

 

[onewoof]

I want to believe that the weak coverage isn't intentional I really do

 

[DoomSlayer]

Wow what a blown call.

 

[Bulldog from Birth]

The face mask penalty was clearly not in tonight’s script. Refs got it right.

Wow what a blown call.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

This has been a helluva duel between two young QBs. Hope we are going to see more from these guys against each other.

 

[DoomSlayer]

Raiders could just kneel and if the Chargers don’t call timeout they would both go to the playoffs.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Chargers just called a TO

 

[57stratdawg]

That Chargers timeout might have cost them the playoffs.

What a game. What a day.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Wonder if that changed it or not. Man what a fun day of football

 

[DoomSlayer]

Raiders could have let the clock run out but they wanted to knock their division rivals out of the playoffs. I respect that.

 

[Quincy A. Wagstaff]

I guess the Raiders decided they would rather go to Cincinnati than Kansas City.

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

Chargers just 17-ed themselves by calling that TO.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I’m dumbfounded. Why do you call a timeout?

 

[FlotownDawg]

Unbelievable game. With all the drama and playoff scenarios, one of the best NFL games I’ve seen in a long time.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

This was the best final week of the season I can remember. Most of the time it’s over and teams sit their starters but there was so much to play for today.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

How do you go for it on 4th down at your own 20 early in the game?

 

[Quincy A. Wagstaff]

Carr says that it changed their approach, which makes sense. Unreal.

 

[wsjmsu75]

I’m dumbfounded. Why do you call a timeout?

I agree that timeout didn't make any sense, but I don't think it changed the Raider's strategy. They were definitely going for the win regardless. Carr said that in his post game interview.

 

[MSUDC11]

I guess the Raiders decided they would rather go to Cincinnati than Kansas City.

That, and stick it to a division rival.

 

[AgronDawg]

Great day of football but for the life of me I cannot understand that timeout… the raiders would have run the clock out.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

The Chargers called the timeout with 4 seconds left on the play clock, so it really didn’t affect the game clock. The Raiders were lined up in the shotgun on 3rd and 4. After the timeout, they came out in single back and ran the ball.

If the timeout changed the Raiders strategy, it likely changed the play call from pass to run. Maybe the Raiders realized during the timeout “hey, let’s just run it, and if we get the first down, we can kick, but if not, just let the clock run out.”

 

[DoomSlayer]

Man that Chargers coach makes some baffling decisions. There was a Sunday night game earlier this year where he refused to kick field goals and went for it on 4th down every time and almost always failed. Then he goes for it on 4th down tonight from their own 20 and gave the Raiders a free 3 points. Then of course the timeout call in overtime. Just bad decisions.

 

[hatfieldms]

Yeah I have been glued to the tv all day today. Fantastic television

 

[57stratdawg]

Would they? Seems like if the goal was to run the clock out; wouldn’t you just kneel on it?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I don’t believe Carr. They were about to run clock and San Diego called a timeout.

 

[fishwater99]

That Chargers timeout might have cost them the playoffs.

What a game. What a day.
