I'm going to absolutely laugh my ass off if the CHargers score the TD, but then miss the Point After attempt to still lose, after all the drama of this drive.

Like the River City Relay play years and years ago when the Saints scored a miracle lateral TD only to whiff the extra point when it was the really close extra points that were like 99.9% made

Do teams not understand with 3 timeouts they can use them to try and force the other team to punt near the end of the game? Like if the Chargers didn't use them they wouldn't have to go for it on 4th over and over and could just try to stop the Raiders which is more likely that super long 4th down plays, but eh whatever works.

The 49ers did it in their game today.

But it depends on how much you trust your defense and your offense. Because a single first down will ice it, so your defense has to be strong. And then, even if you get it back, you're going to have to go 75ish yards in just over a minute with no timeouts.

If your defense and/or offense is struggling a bit, then it's better to risk an all or nothing on 4th and then have all 3 timeouts to move downfield than trust that you can hold on defense and then drive on offense with no timeouts.

I kind of hope they tie at this point.

Nothing would please me more than to see Pig Pen out the postseason. Spare us the narrative about his "last ride". It was cringe when they did it with Ray lewis.

All that aside, I don't trust either defense to hold either's offense to 0 points for 10 minutes.

I'm sat here phone in hand with the emergency services number on dial.

I can't take much more of this.

Two field goals works.

The Cardiac Chargers and the Heart Breaker Raiders.

Holy shit it does.

Okay. Just one long winded drive to take off 4 1/2 minutes. Make Herbert look mortal in a crucial third down in the red zone and we're in business...

[PhaelixWW]

The Cardiac Chargers and the Heart Breaker Raiders.

That field goal cleared by maaaaaaybe 2 inches.

[NotBigzo]

Hell yeah.

If you're the raiders and the Chargers are held to 3 with a lot of clock and timeouts consumed, just take the knee.

[PhaelixWW]

How close was that?



Forget two inches, that was a centimeter at most.

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

Still was done in a 17 game season, just because he missed a game and only played 16 does not mean it is the same as doing it in a 16 game season.

I have no idea why you are arguing this, he broke a record and they played the same amount of games.

[NotBigzo]

Have the Chargers ran the football since the 7 minute mark in the 4th quarter? Good lord. It's like they forgot about balance in the offense.

[Grube]

The Chargers seem to only catch passes on 4th down. This drive might take a lot of time off the clock.

[MCMLXXXII]

Jesus H Christ. Herbert does it AGAIN on 4th

[Kyanion]

I have no idea why you are arguing this, he broke a record and they played the same amount of games.

Cause that isn't how it works, if a person played 15 games last year it was a 16 game season, if a person played 16 games this year in a 17 game season it still happened in a SEVENTEEN game season. Period. That's how it works.

If you miss a game in said season that is too fucking bad. It won't matter in a few years when people just accept 17 game season records as the standard for all the records.

[MCMLXXXII]

FG and kneel

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

Is it so different from sitting starters?

Yes, its drastically different.

[Kyanion]

I know I'm rooting for a tie here

[NotBigzo]

Just take the knees dude.
