Down 14-12 with 8 minutes left kliff Kingsbury went for it on 4th & 2 at own 35 for no reason at all
 
There's a reason he was sacked from his last college job, only to bizarrely get offered a pro head coaching job a couple of months later.
 
Parker is out again. That has always been an issue for him, last year was the only time he has ever stayed healthy. Its usually just niggling week to week injuries, but they tend to effect him for quite a while.
 
Miami should try playing with a WR or RB. Might help to score points.

Gesicki is active at TE, but Shaheen has more catches. Not exactly an ideal no.1 target on offense.

Fun fake punt though
 
Fecking Raiders. How do they blow that?! Pisses me off cos I’ve got Jacobs in my fantasy final and he could have scored there. So stupid.

Same. I'm bitter as feck. I know it was the right move to go down but I still laughed when they got the facemask penalty on top of the amazing no look throw.
 
As someone who lost money on the Raiders this year then all i can say is :lol:

Fitzmagic does it again
 
Holy shit. Raiders choose not to score, kneel an inch from goal on third down and take a field goal.

Fail to cover a practice squad WR with 10 seconds left and commit a facemask penalty - dolphins win.

Gruden should fire himself

I dunno. I thought the RB was smart on first and second down, but kneeling on third was a bold call. Field goal could have been blocked or anything.

Wild from the Raiders. Wild :lol: but il take the famous win

:lol: The only solace I took was the camera shot on chucky at the end of the game. His face was covered, but he looked fecking pissed.

What a disaster. Carr kneeled with 6 seconds remaining on 3rd down. Had they just timed their kneels properly and run down the clock competently, this strategy would have worked.

Instead، they choose to kneel at the 1 inch line and not even run the clock all the way down, giving Miami extra precious seconds. They then play some awful defense and spot them another 15 yards on a penalty to bring them within comfortable fg range.

This is the very epitome of incompetence. And the Raiders' 100M USD coach is refusing to take blame. You just can't make this stuff up.
 
I don’t know, but wouldn’t scoring a TD and going for 2 be the analytics play there? Would put them ahead by a TD if they convert and ahead by 5 if they didn’t. I’d rather the Dolphins need a TD with a minute or so remaining than a FG with half a minute remaining.
 


good thing the raiders spent a first round pick on a running back

Feels like we’ve had quite a few scorigami games in quick succession now?

This sounds superb :lol:

The choice was between taking the touchdown and giving Miami more than a minute or running the clock down to somewhere close to 10 seconds, which is what Gruden felt was the right play because he didn't trust his defense. But they didn't even run the clock all the way down on those downs. Had they executed their plan correctly, there wouldn't have been more than 11 seconds left on the clock for Miami to comeback.

A fiasco, In every way.
 
Fangio returning to Denver for the 2021 season, according to Schefter. Didn’t expect that tbh.
 
Carr spiking it early had no impact because the clock was stopped out of a timeout. I think for any viable Fg option you are looking at about 40 yards minimum in 20 seconds which is pretty bonkers considering you don't have much scope for going through the middle of the field . TD is 75 yards but 1 minute is very long in NFL so I think the right call was made but just very poor defence
 
The Raiders largely managed the clock well towards the end. The problem was the blown coverage on the next to last play that had nothing to do with time management and everything to do with not being prepared for the obvious.

A massive fail for the Raiders D to allow a 34 yard pass along the sidelines, which even without the added 15 yards for the facemask would've already put the Fins in FG range.

Meh I tend to disagree. Give me 40 yards in 20” over 75 yards and a TD in 60”.

Anyone who saw the Raiders play against the Chargers the week before could see this coming. The Raiders secondary is non-existent. Pass rush actually had 3 sacks, but the secondary was as shitty as usual once Fitzpatrick got in the game.

Anyone who grabs a face mask in that situation should never play again. Nothing hurts a fan more than players making the dumbest penalties
 
What the feck was that from the Chiefs and why does Neal actually pick it off too.
 
Neal either got lost in the moment or he wanted to pad his stats.
 
Jets are playing a team that had their walkthrough in a freezing garage this morning to get their practice squad WRs ready. Not that surprising the Browns are off to a slow start.

Ah might as well go for a 98 yard drive.

Crazy scoring again no one wants Trevor Lawrence apparently
 
How was that a roughing call against the Jets?! Pathetic call.
