Man i hope they let him play?! And with MEJ now practicing with the team, we looking real good on the defensive side of the ball.. Add in McGee and Latham along with Joseph, damn that's a lot of firepower!!

We still need to add to the defense in the offseason. Clearly, it still needs some work.

No doubt DJ.. But that is more than enough firepower to get it done this year.. The defense is playing much better than you add players like that, it would make them that much better..

Define get it done....what are you referring to?

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Well here's a little more proof that Reid is a Warlock??
On that bomb to Coop that would of been a TD, some video out there shows that it hit the Cam wire!!
That is just trippy.. Again, what are the odds of that??

Winning the AFCW DJ.. After that it's anybody's game.. There's no real great defense out there like Denver's last year.. Any team that makes the playoffs this year has a chance to win the SB

Ok.....I was just curious.

 

[idahoraiderfan33]

Heck, if the Steelers sneak into the playoffs with the offense they have and their defense starting to make some stop here and there, that would be a hard team to beat.. Or how about playing Voodoo man Reid in the playoffs??

What about the RAIDERS getting hot not an easy beat either, or Denver getting hot, then we have the Pats..
IT'S OPEN!!

First and goal from the 7 then we get some Phantom holding call, now we have 1-17
Again a bad snap that is rare for us cost us points..
So it evened out.. Oh KC played some D, but my statement remains..

Not sure I have ever met another poster that sees through such homer glasses like you Idaho. No good breaks ever happen for your team. Everybody is out to get the Raiders and so on. Let's just ignore that the Chiefs dropped 3 interceptions in that game when they are known as a team that makes people pay for throwing errant passes. They hardly ever drop those opportunities. Let's ignore the fact that they had 3 turnovers when they are a team that hardly ever turns the ball over. And that phantom call you are talking about the TE wrapped his arms around I think it was Dee Ford from behind and tried to drag him down. That is textbook holding call. I'm sorry Idaho but not every penalty called on the Raiders is because the NFL is out to get them. They do actually mess up and commit penalties every once in a while.

Your team had some breaks go their way and for the first time this season they did not take advantage. It happens sometimes. They had their chances to get back into that game and they just didn't have the 4th quarter magic they have had most of the season. The Chiefs pretty much knew exactly what the Raiders were going to do. They knew Carr loves that fade route and they defended it. Carr and the Raiders didn't adjust and just kept going back to it playing right into the Chief's hands. It wasn't a great called game by the OC.

that theory has been debunked. Where they were compared to where the wires are do not add up to that being what caused the ball to flutter.

Im a homer cd and you are not?? I think we both see our teams through the same glass, so let's not throw out the homer card cd.. Name calling kills a debate before it even starts..

First of all cd you say the TE had his arms wrapped around Ford you think, think being the key word here cd, so you don't really know.. And it looked like a normal block that we see a million times throughout a season..
Truth is they could throw a flag on every play if they choose, cuz they all look the same..
That flag was a killer, and that's the bottom line.. Another flag was the punt that was called back and made us punt it again, boom TD Hill.. Again those are blocks that we see weekly and never get called.. But they happened to get called in this game and it cost us..

And im sure KC knew what Carr likes to do, as we know what they like to do, etc, etc.. Division rivals dude, we all know what we like to do.. The bad news for us in that game was Carr's injured finger.. You could see the pain in his face with every throw.. I mean he couldn't throw the ball right, we all seen it.. But hey that's part of the game as well.. They beat a banged up RAIDER team at their house.., We had our chance, and rolled snake eyes

Who debunked that?? The league?? Hmmmm
That ball was right on target for a monster crunch TD and at it's peak it just fluttered and dropped??
Hmmmm

First off yes I am a homer but I can also watch a game and realize when my team catches some lucky breaks. This year alone for the Broncos...Lucky break in the 1st game of the season against Carolina with them missing a very makable field goal. Against the Saints while it was a great play to block the extra point at the end of the game I still know that doesn't happen often at all and while I do think the call near the sideline was too close to overturn I can fully admit that I think he did step out. The Broncos got a nice break there. Those things happen throughout the season some good some bad. You really struggle to ever see anything go in your team's favor but it has happened a ton this year. They are a good team but part of being good is realizing luck does play a part in it with how the ball bounces and such.

AS for the play I'm not "thinking" it was a hold...it was a hold. I said I think it was Dee Ford. I don't know the Chief's players numbers off the top of my head but pretty sure he is #55. It was clearly a hold. When Ford is running to make the play and a player wraps him up from behind that is such an easy call on the field. And while yes you can say holding gets called on every play that was an easy one for the official to see especially since Ford was about to make a play on the ball carrier. It clearly effected the play. And I don't find the excuse of it happening every play one that can be used. It was a hold and that is the end of it. The Raiders deserved the call.

And like I said the Raiders called a terrible game. If you know your opponent knows what you like to do then mix it up a bit. They went to that fade route over and over again and it wasn't working. What is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results? The Chiefs were playing off man coverage. Go with some quick screens or the quick slant pattern. Make the Chiefs have to defend the dink and dunk.

People who actually work with those cameras have shown the wires were not where the ball was. They also have video showing it didn't hit the wire. I saw it earlier today...not sure I can find it again but if I do I'll post it.

 

[cdumler7]

NBC has actually come out and said the way they position their cameras is so that the wires are behind the LOS so that they do not come into play.

They have also said that the height of the ball wouldn't have reached the wires anyway with how high up they have it.

I understand that some luck plays a part in this game cd.. But no team can have the luck KC is getting without some type of voodoo, hell nah!! It's not possible.. And yet here they sit, Smh!!

And of course you would see it the way the refs called that hold cd.. Cmon man!!
That last play against the Saints was OUT cd the way i seen it, and yet you seen it as good all the way..
Rival fans see the game different man..

Again cd on the play calling.. We can only play this way cuz Carr can't take snaps from under center, he's injured cd.. We are limited in our playbook for that simple reason.. Why is that hard to understand??
KC beat a banged up RAIDER team on a short week at their house cd.. I mean it is what it is

NBC will show you what they want you to see cd.. The truth is out there, just search for it..

Who is playing QB for you guys against the Titans??

Well, we were starting three guys who to begin the year were on the practice squad on defense, a backup DE, a NT with back issues, lost a pro bowl ILB to an achilles, and a rusty Maclin. We have two guys in the DL rotation who are essentially off the street. Quite a few teams have taken some punches as of late.

We only had two DTs for this game, our MVP QB has an injured hand, Ose the best LG in the league imo out, etc, etc.. You guys won man, props for that.. Now we move on to our next opponent..
Titans for you guys, Bolts for us.. Two pretty good teams that will be up for our teams, no doubt
