***Official*** Raiders vs. Chargers Thursday Night Thread (1 Viewer)

[Arodin]

Critical 4th quarter drive with time expiring...why not back-to-back passes to A. Patton.  That makes sense in some universe, no doubt...

 

[SoBeDad]

Rivers misses Tyrell.

 

[barackdhouse]

Good god Rivers

 

[Arodin]

Rivers misses Tyrell.

And most of his other receivers, tonight... 

 

[renesauz]

tough one but right call

 

[Biabreakable]

The refs win.

 

[renesauz]

and a good no call there

 

[DocHolliday]

The refs win.

Refs must have good money on the Chargers.  

 

[Cowboysfan8]

You have 3 timeouts Phil, you don’t need to throw it 50 yds every play

 

[SengerCJ]

Holy hell, how did this team beat the Packers last week. 

 

[barackdhouse]

So hard to watch

 

[renesauz]

how are they running so many plays with so little time? Isnt Oakland the home team?

 

[renesauz]

Refs must have good money on the Chargers.  

calls and non calls this last drive all good ones though

 

[The Claymaker]

Nice win Raiders. 

 

[Waingro]

Ugh... just so ugly

 

[renesauz]

always amazed at the poor awareness DBs have on 4th down plays

 

[barackdhouse]

I don't even remember the last pass Rivers completed.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Why the heck did they run 4 verticals there when the Raiders were playing Man-2 on every play?  You're just running right into the defense there.

 

[Biabreakable]

lol

 

[RBM]

Might be one of the ugliest possessions I’ve ever seen. Rivers just miserable. 

 

[Shrugs]

Rivers should be benched. Had Henry wide open twice and just chucks it up deep to guys I’ve never heard of, then throws to Hunter when double covered.

 

[The Claymaker]

Jacobs is an impressive back.

Football players as a whole have absolutely zero football situational awareness.  Intramural players can get this stuff right but guys making millions of dollars can't.

 

[Ghost Rider]

As good as Rivers was on the TD drive in the 4th quarter, he was awful on that last drive.  Didn't even give his team a chance. 

 

[SengerCJ]

Every play call and pass attempt on that last drive was really awful. 

 

[Smack Tripper]

good snapshot of why rivers is a loser on that last INT... you can't expect to get bailed out with a hands to the face there you clown

He threw 8 straight incompletions.  The one on the first 4th down got them 5 hards on the holding penalty.  Wow that was bad

I don't know who my QB pick would be if I needed a scoring drive with under 2 minutes left(Wilson maybe) but Rivers would likely be my last choice. He is the #1 reason the Chargers lost this game, and I'm usually a defender of his. 

Why the hell is he throwing 30 yards downfield almost every play? You only need a FG, and have 3 timeouts. They had guys(Henry, Ekeler) wide open short for easy 7-8 yard gains with room to run, and he just passed it up over and over. This isn't even an isolated incident, its like if there is under 2 minutes left, Rivers IQ drops 80 points. Inexcusable.

Odd that the Chargers abandoned the crossing routes and slants by Allen too.   He was open all game but maybe Rivers was tired of overthrowing Allen and wanted to just throw it up on the outside and away from the safeties 

 

[travdogg]

Jacobs is an impressive back. 

I think he's already the best RB in the AFC...which admittedly sounds like hyperbole, until you actually look at the RB's in the AFC.

 

[trader jake]

Post game the Oakland crowd is chanting, "F*** AB!" 

 

[renesauz]

I think he's already the best RB in the AFC...which admittedly sounds like hyperbole, until you actually look at the RB's in the AFC.

Gordon was more impressive tonight, and Chubb has been great.

He's definitely VERY good....but the hype on him has been a little over the top

 

[Gopher State]

Jacobs is an impressive back.
