NFL Kneel you cowards

[nystateofmind]

Does it matter? Look at the video with Ekeler’s reaction that @Dan E. Dangerously posted.

I did.

There’s absolutely no way to tell what was being said in that clip.

 

[nystateofmind]

Chargers called TO right before :04 on the play clock, :38 on the game clock.

Yes.

So the timeout was not to stop the clock in an attempt to get the ball back. It was to get the proper defense on the field.

Dan, I love you.

But you’re wrong here.

Yes.

There's NO defense for LAC calling the timeout. They should have never called the TO. Raiders were running out the clock. I listed their play selection leading up to the TO in a post above. Raiders showed ZERO urgency to score prior to the TO and then the first down run by Jacobs.

Staley taking a page right out of Danny Miaz’s playbook. That was a course in head corching 101.

When the Raiders lost 3 yards on the 1st and 10 run play at LAC 44 yard line, they were content in letting the clock run out until LAC called the TO.

I don't care. I hate all 3 teams impacted by this equally.

You can certainly debate the merits of the timeout, but the fact of the matter is this:

1 - Before the timeout the Raiders were going to run the ball and attempt a FG

2 - After the timeout the Raiders ran the ball and attempted a FG

Nothing changed.

Carr said they would’ve attempted a FG from the 40.

They weren’t just going to run it out.

They were not going to attempt a FG prior to the TO. They were running out the clock. Each snap was under five seconds, run plays, no urgency whatsoever. Raiders had NOTHING to lose in that scenario.

Worse timeout since Chris Webber called timeout in the NCAA Championship game when Michigan had none

A 57-yard FG is statistically way more difficult to make than a 47-yarder, which was the game winning kick.

That 3 yard loss on 1st and 10 that moved LV back to the LAC 47, LV was packing it in. They had nothing to lose.

That is true.

But folks here are arguing the Raiders weren’t even going to attempt one.

Also, you’re assuming they wouldn’t have gained significant yards on the play before the timeout was called.

Actually, the Danny Miaz TO to hype his D up so they could try to stop FSU from scoring from the 6-inch line this season was even worse.

 

[nystateofmind]

That 3 yard loss on 1st and 10 that moved LV back to the LAC 47, LV was packing it in. They had nothing to lose.

And then they gained 7 yards on second down to move to the Chargers 39 on the play preceding the timeout.

I think that they would’ve attempted it anyway, too. No arguing that.
