**Patriots at Raiders** (-1.5, 45) 4:05 Kickoff (1 Viewer)

[Mitchie]

Rhamondre and Jakobi are going to be flying Frontier back to Boston.

The Rhamondre pitch was maybe a 5 out of 10 on the bonehead scale, the Jakobi play was 1000.

 

[Boston]

Two bad teams battled to the end...so fitting it ended that way.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Billy can’t even cut anyone since it was their best RB, best WR and starting QB all involved.

LOL at Mac Jones making the weakest tackle attempt of all time.

 

[Dwayne Hoover]

Just when you think you’ve seen it all you see THAT!

The broadcaster said "Stanford Band" before any of it happened

Could have held on to the ankle but the rest of the league would have called him a dirty player

 

[BladeRunner]

so Stevenson the doghouse? Or was that a planned play?

Why would Stevenson be in the doghouse. Jakobi blew it. Really, the refs did as the Raiders receiver was clearly out of bounds on the tying TD

Disagree with Rhamondre. Not much to lose on his lateral. Maybe a recovery - but nobody was going to the house. And he lateraled it cleanly

 

[Go DC Yourself]

What idiot does pitchy pitchy woo woo in a tie game?

The answer was not in the singular in this instance.

 

[Dwayne Hoover]

That was some reverse Jedi mind trick shenanigans that Stevenson pulled on Meyers

There was no reason for it. Only bad things can happen. Who's to say it doesn't bounce off Jacobi's hands and it's picked up and run back. Unlikely, sure but so was what happened next.

Sorry, I just saw the stat line, not the actual play. I don't know if this play was improvised by Stevenson or if it was planned.

That was a gift.

Tuck rule refund.


I thought the toe was clearly on the white

We don’t talk about the #$&%/#) !, €¥£…[]*&#%!, tuck rule. F Brady. And siragusa the next year.

Yeah, I didn’t mind Stevenson’s decision - his dude was right there.

Throwing it backwards 10 yards was just so idiotic. In a TIE GAME, no less.

He thought “falling down & maybe causing him to trip” was a form of tackling.

Just so so so terribly bad.

 

[BigDave]

Brutal sat Stevenson in my most important of my 142 leagues game time decision they said didn't want to risk reinjury and get just a couple pts.

I picked a hell of a day to quit drinking

Sat him and McKinnon -I'm drinking

We have a bingo.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

the patriots just raidered the raiders

Exactly what my boys and I are saying. That happens TO the raiders. Not by the raiders. Including that ridiculous call in the review

Never happen. Brady ain’t coming to this **** show. And he kinda sucks now a days.

Debatable. RH should have just gone down.

 

[HellToupee]

Cole’s toe being out of bounds gets completely overshadowed . The league has to be happy

 

[simsarge]

More likely Uber

 

[travdogg]

Rhamondre looked like they were running the clock out and then RS gets 30 yards and decides to pitch it, he should not have done that but Jakobi Meyers takes the cake for boneheaded plays, wouldn't expect him to be on the team next season if that long

What an incredible finish
Alcoa Presents...

Meyers is their 2nd best skill position player though, so I think he's safe.

 

[Sarlakticacid]

It will save them money on those “expensive” cameras

 

[Todem]

I mean how that was not reversed is beyond my comprehension. From the overhead angle the front of his foot clearly is on the white…..and it would be physically impossible looking at the size of his foot it would not……NFL blew
It again. Seriously mindboggling non reversal.

And then the last play by New England….LMFAO is all I can do!!

Bounced him like a basketball Jones

 

[simsarge]

That Chandler Jones stiff arm from hell will be replayed for decades

Jones would've been among the mostly invisible plethora of top tier QB draftees that didn't pan out. But now he'll live on on YouTube forever

Cut him….don’t care. That has to be one of dumbest plays I ever saw in an NFL game. A utter liability to have that kind of mental midget on the field.

 

[Insein]

Jakobi is on the take

It's funny. My son doesn't watch much football and I showed him the play. His exact words were " maybe that guy places a bet or something."

Its hard not to blame Stevenson a bit for this. There was nothing to gain and everything to lose by starting that pitch to Meyers.

I thought he was out too but there really wasn’t a reply that conclusively showed him out.

But his pitch to Meyers was 2’ away, and, successful.

Stevenson had no way of knowing Meyers would then go on to make one of the dumbest decisions in NFL history.

You’re using 20-20 hindsight to blame Stevenson here.

It was like cascading dumb decisions, each worse than the last. Shouldn’t have called a draw to begin with; what could that possibly accomplish? Then the Rhamondre lateral, which again didn’t lead directly to disaster but had very little upside. And then Meyers.

Can’t trust your first-round QB to throw a 55-yard Hail Mary?

This is some real funny stuff:

The Patriots Gift to the World is the Worst Play in NFL History. Merry Christmas!

There are so many things I would rather be doing than this right now. So, so, so many things. Enjoying a nice glass of wine by the fireplace. Watching a nice Christmas movie. Enjoying the love of my f...

[Pip's Invitation]

This is the dumbest play since Joe Pisarcik trying to hand off instead of take a knee, right?

 

[GroveDiesel]

Had a buddy say, and he’s completely right, that Bill is lucky that he’s one of about 5 coaches in the league that could have their slim playoff hopes ended on that play and not be fired at the end of the year.

The best part is that Meyers ridiculous toss was intended for the slowest guy on the field - where was Mac Jones going even if the toss was successful?

 

[Boston]

Lost in all of this is what has become of a BB coached team...there was a time where they were prepared for the smallest detail...stuff like having Troy Brown take reps in camp at CB than actually needing him there late in the year and then actually making plays...they also rarely shot themselves in the foot and it was amazing how much more prepared they usually were than their opponent...they would show up on Sunday and play disciplined ball and let the other team make the undisciplined/foolish plays and mistakes and then exploit them...now they are a team full of false starts and mental mistakes and this play is just the cherry on top...not sure what is going to go on this offseason but they simply cannot continue down the path they are on...it is not a winning formula and as a fan it is beyond unentertaining to watch (well, with the exception of that last play)...something's gotta give here.

This is how I was thinking about this game too. New England is now one of those teams that loses games in this manner. The Browns, Bills, Raiders, Jets, Lions, Vikings, Falcons, and probably several other fanbases that I'm forgetting know exactly what I mean when I say "loses games in this manner." There's a certain style to losing games that only comes with experience.

The funny part is they were the master of this type of stuff pre-Parcells...deep down a lot of us "old-timers" are laughing about it because there are a couple of generations of Patriot fans that have never experienced it and think anything other than getting to the AFC Championship game is a complete disaster...as John McClane said in Die Hard..."welcome to the party."

 

[Anarchy99]

The last play called for a regular draw, RS was told to get down, and they would regroup for OT. No one on the offense expected any laterals, and RS and JM ad libbed that on their own. Everyone else was blocking and did not expect anything other than Stevenson getting tackled. The most surprised person of all was Mac Jones, as he neither expected to receive a lateral nor having to make a game saving tackle.

This only amplifies the offense being disenchanted with Patricia. They were trying to make a play. Everyone on the offense is frustrated with their inability to look like even a mediocre FCS offense.

This is Bill's fault...he put a totally unqualified person/friend in a position to fail...Patricia gets the heat, but it is BB's fault, and everyone knew it was coming back in August.
