I feel like this is one of those "Special Rodgers games" tbh. Puke

[spurraider21]

huge stop by oakland there. go take a 2 possession lead and put this game on ice

[Millennial_Messiah]

Seattle’s going no where. If they get in, which they’ll be one and done.

Assuming they win today and then if they beat the 49ers next week @ SF then they'll be in the driver's seat for the division and maybe a bye.

[spurraider21]

or, you know, go 3 and out and give the ball right back

[Millennial_Messiah]

Philip Rivers is still a deep ball GOD from the pocket.

[Millennial_Messiah]

SWagner Sack!

[Spurtacular]

Packers are fallible. If the Vikes keep winning, they got a great chance at winning the division.

I done told you, son.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Ugh I hate smugface pig Arians. Just die you old fat got

[spurraider21]

3 straight punts... this game really slowed down

[Millennial_Messiah]

I done told you, son.

So a golden opportunity to tie up the division race, squandered.

[spurraider21]

4 straight punts. 3 and outs galore

i get that the raiders want to ride jacobs, but it helps when you keep the defense off balance. just running right up the gut on first and second down to protect a lead gets too predictable. either mix in a pass, or have some variance in play design, with an outside zone mixed in here and there.

[Millennial_Messiah]

HAHA GOT CRAB LEGS

[spurraider21]

raiders wasted too many possessions... by getting uber conservative with what was only a 1 score lead.

now 5 minutes to go, game tied, and offense completely out of rhythm, defense gassed. bad recipe. this is how mediocre teams blow games.

[Millennial_Messiah]

no Keith Tandy to pick off Russ in the endzone this time

[Spurtacular]

Chargers gonna play soft. Rodgers gonna stat pad and save some face now.

[spurraider21]

Chargers gonna play soft. Rodgers gonna stat pad and save some face now.

as they should with a lead that big. let them pick up bits and pieces while running clock

[Millennial_Messiah]

Damn it. Can't squander that great play that defense made on a ty field goal. Ugh. Keeps Fat Pig Arians and Crab Legs in the game.

[spurraider21]

what a throw by carr...

and then next run goes for 7 yards. keep the D off balance, opens it all up. shame it took detroit tying the game to wake the play-calling up

[Spurtacular]

as they should with a lead that big. let them pick up bits and pieces while running clock

Nah. Stay aggressive.

Let your offense burn clock.

[Millennial_Messiah]

stupid kickers the past two weeks tbh. Whenever you need a miss the dolt makes it, whenever you need a make the dolt misses it.

[Pelicans78]

Assuming they win today and then if they beat the 49ers next week @ SF then they'll be in the driver's seat for the division and maybe a bye.

If you believe that, it’s wishful thinking. They’re not talented enough to win there.

[Millennial_Messiah]

DK Megatron !!!!

[Millennial_Messiah]

raiders got away with a foul up the seam there

[Millennial_Messiah]

Carroll is a moron and re ed for challenging that

[Millennial_Messiah]

Solid, hard fought win for the raiders. Gruden almost pulled a Zimmer, Garrett etc
