Exactly. We got literally no one back for that game. Ingram and Dobbins were cleared but did not play. But people are dumb.
Nah he's been pretty open that he really needed a change of scenery and distance from his old life in order to stay clean. A lot of those bad influences were present here in Baltimore. Super happy for the guy, and really applaud our organization for giving him the option and not forcing him to stay here solely due to talent.

It would be a huge slap to the face if:
-Dolphins win
-We lose
-Colts win
-Browns win

Holy.
You have the ball on the 1 and decide to kick a field goal. The Raiders did this twice and left 8pts on the table.
That one really hurts.
The Dolphins are a great story and all, but they are playing way over their heads IMO. Too bad the Ravens didn’t play them this season

I’ll contend that was the right call still, and I’m sure analytics support it. But the odds don’t account for a completed lame duck from a QB with his head twisted sideways. Literally can’t make that up.

You know if the Raiders would go up by 3 I could maybe understand going for a field goal there but yeah you got to go for a td there . Just fucking stupid beyond belief

Here's my beef with the call. With the FG you're still only up 2 and they get the ball at the 25 with no time off the clock. Take the td and make them drive where they HAVE to get a TD. Played scared and it cost their bitch ass.
and that facemask looked like the result of a clear hold.

What a bunch of idiots these Raiders. I can't believe what just happened. Now we still have to worry if the once 11-0 Steelers will be able to win even just one game... I would have really liked being able to just watch them wreck their season peacefully while we mind our own business...
totally stupid call to not go for the touchdown. I don't care what analytics say. The analytics doesn't take into account having to march down the field to score a TD rather than just needing a FG against a swiss cheese defense.
I still think they made the right choice. Chances of a team driving into FG range with 19 seconds and no timeouts are so slim. Cover the deep half and the sidelines and you’re set. But they fucked that up AND added a penalty on top it it. 999/1000 times you win in that situation. Tonight was that one time.
And especially with the Raiders defense. Give the Dolphins a minute to drive and get a TD... I’d say the odds are exponentially higher.

Absolutely.
My view at the time was, a FG only puts you up 2, a Dolphin FG is way more likely with 20some seconds left than a TD. Punch the dang ball in.

Gotta say I am not impressed at all with the Dolphins. Too bad that if we are tied and nothing else works out they get in.
I think we would beat them handily.
