It was within grasp.This would be the perfect ending to the season if you hate Pittsburgh. Tie game.
They seemed confused defensively so that's my guess as to why they did it.That's actually hilarious. So why did the Chargers call time out?
Staley thinks he's smarter than everyone.That's actually hilarious. So why did the Chargers call time out?
I agree that if the Chargers had stopped them for 2-4 yards rather than allowing 10-12 that the Raiders likely would've just let the clock run out. With that said, the Raiders weren't seemingly in much rush to do anything and if you just let the clock continue to run it kind of takes some of the sting out of the upcoming play with the Raiders kind of muddling around.Come on guys. I'm sick of seeing this all over the internet.. San Diego calling timeout isn't why the Raiders kicked the FG. What? To spite them for calling a TO?
They attempted the FG because they got 10 yards on the next Jacobs run. If they stuff him there they probably "thought about" (as Bisaccia said) taking the tie vs a 57 yard FG.
one more year. one more year.Amazing how much more burst a schlub like Corey Clement has compared to Elliott.
Yep, it's just something for the retards to blab about.Come on guys. I'm sick of seeing this all over the internet.. San Diego calling timeout isn't why the Raiders kicked the FG. What? To spite them for calling a TO?

If McCarthy doesn’t play the RBs needed to get our running game going for the playoffs I think he should be fired. Unless of course Jerry forces him to play Elliott which in that case I wish death on Jerry.

There was like 4 seconds in the play clock when the TO was called. I guess you may be right they run a play there without the TO and just let the clock run out. I think there was less than 40 seconds left. I see that point.I agree that if the Chargers had stopped them for 2-4 yards rather than allowing 10-12 that the Raiders likely would've just let the clock run out.

The Raiders seemed to be in kind of a lax state before the timeout, the timeout seemed to refocus them a bit.
I think the Chargers were thinking that if they stopped them on 3rd and 4 the Raiders might attempt a long FG, which with a miss could allow the Chargers to get in position for their own FG attempt.
They don't have to bench Zeke. Just give Pollard more carries and more targets in the passing game in the playoffs vs the regular season. Get him a lot touches. Simple.If McCarthy doesn’t play the RBs needed to get our running game going for the playoffs I think he should be fired.
