Regular season thread

Derek has grown so much. GM has made great moves. The Raiders are a playoff team and could even win a game for the first time in ages!

RAIDERS contenders for the SB!!

Really? Oakland deserves about a season straight of favorable refs to make up for all the times they've been screwed.

Man, i can't believe CD had the balls to come in here and complain about the refs!! SMH!!

What a game by Carr. Run game nonexistent, receivers dropping catchable balls, and he just kept his head and kept going. Great win. 8-2 Raiders baby!

I didn't say the Raiders haven't had problems in the past with officials. I said in this one game the Raiders got some huge calls to go their way that truly helped them win this game. We are talking at least 4 points for the touchdown that they blew dead and most likely a field goal on that 4th and 1 they messed up. Throw in then just a few plays later after the blown call on that 4th and 1 the Raiders score a touchdown. So that is a 10 point swing. So we are looking at possibly 14 points that were decided by not even controversial close calls. These were blatant errors by the officials. You can say this was making up for past games they got screwed but this one the officials gave to the Raiders.

You complain every single game...yet when the officials actually help you out no "hey thanks officials for the help."

The run game was bad today, but the OL gave Carr the time in the pocket and Carr dropped dimes!!

They went to replay cd and they still didn't get the calls.. Those were the right calls, according to the replay..

Not saying I wouldn't take the victory if that was my team too. Just doesn't hurt to acknowledge some help showed up in this one. This happens sometimes though where teams get a nice break. Obviously as a Bronco fan I am frustrated as our teams and the Chiefs should be tied at 7-3 and with every game being huge down the stretch it is frustrating to see what should have been a loss turn into a win. Enjoy the victory and the division lead.

well doesnt exactly mean they would have lost. Raiders made some big plays after that. Texans still could have changed the outcome. Raiders have done it more then a few times this year. Probably why Idaho mentions it like he does.

No it was they couldn't review the first one because the official made a mistake and blew the whistle. When they blow the whistle even if it is the wrong call the play is dead at that point. Idaho seriously you cannot sit here and tell me those were the right calls. Please Please just put down your homerism for 2 seconds and realize your team caught a break. It happens sometimes and enjoy it but don't sit here and try to deny some calls went big time in your favor. And the 2nd one while yes they did review it I have never seen a more obvious overturn call. It was obvious they messed up the spot by more than a yard so it wasn't even a "well this was too close to call so we just kept the original call."

Obviously cannot fully know the outcome as things would have been played differently by both sides. Those types of calls though are ones that switches the momentum. The Texans were just running all over the Raiders tonight and had that defense gassed. I just have a hard time seeing without those calls things quite working out in the Raiders favor. Enough points were changed that I feel confident saying that game has a very different outcome.

Did I disagree with any of that? NO. I just said there is nothing wrong with acknowledging some things went your team's way to help them win. It happens. It is no different than saying a fumble bounced your team's way. Sometimes that is just how the ball rolls. There is luck involved in winning in this league.

Every team gets calls here and there cd, it's just part of the game.. The replay said they didn't get it, so they didn't.. REPLAY said they didn't cd, just not the ref..

No that was the official both times saying that. They are the ones who review it. You can argue the calls all you want I guess. I'm out though as I have been a sore loser here and it wasn't even my team that lost. I apologize for raining on your parade. You guys won and should be allowed to enjoy that without idiots like me coming in here trying to ruin it. Sorry Raiders fans.

I love you guys
