Bob pissed this game away. Had that first down by a full yard and he didn't challenge.

Wow and a punt to seal the game. Our D is finished and thier D is tired so let's punt with only 1 TO left.

You have to be intelligent enough to understand that your QB can't run the 2 minute drill with no TOs. Apparently Bob isn't

Ya'll got hosed by the refs tonight. Good luck the rest of the season. Maybe we'll meet again in the playoffs.

Even with the bad spot, it was first down

Nose of the ball is on the pole = every other time, a first down

That was a heartbreaker, but I will say that if anyone were going to beat us on some lousy officiating, laser pointer in the eye type deal, I'm glad it was the Raiders. They've waited very patiently to be relevant, and in the extremely tight AFC West they'll need all the help they can get down the stretch. Even though we're only sitting at 6-4 to Indy's 5-5, I feel like we're going to be ok.

Buut yea the bad spot on 4th and short was brutal. Honestly that was one of our more solid all around games this season. If you take away that huge Olawale play, our defense played very solidly all night, and our offense (and most surprisingly Brock) did what it needed to do in the majority of crucial situations to put us in position to win the game.

Braxton Miller emerged offensively. We seemed to target him every play in the red zone at times. If he and Fuller an find a new level down the stretch here then it can make our offense one of the most difficult to defend.

I was impressed that our OL continued to play so well even after Brown and Mancz got knocked out for a few plays. Andre Hal blowing up that Crabtree screen was awesome. J Jo shot to the head call was bs. Hopkins wasn't out of bounds. If Ervin doesn't fumble + they call the Hopkins play a TD then it's probably something an overtime-ish ending. Wish we could've pinned em a lil bit deeper/more consistently all night with Lech. We didn't produce in the field position battle like we seem to have been doing the last few games.

We did get jobbed by the refs, who must have had some serious cartel threats on them with those 4th quarter spots. However, blaming the refs alone is weak sauce. We also just didn't play well enough against a quality team, and that's on BOB.

BOB isn't a good coach, but there were 2 specific things he decided to do that cost

1. Not challenging the 3rd down run at the end. Forget the bad spot on 4th down, they missed that one by a full yard. Even the ESPN guys were showing it. on the 4th down play i thought Hopkins was gonna punch out the ref. He was right there while they missed that measurement.

2. Punting on 4th down with 2:50 left. He knew our D was winded and so was theirs. Why on earth with 1 time out do you give it back to them?

So the Texans are already at a disadvantage because our coach sucks, but throw in bad spots, a terrible out of bounce call and the constant lasers in the eyes of the texans and it adds up to an impossible task.

We might end up seeing the Raiders again in the playoffs and it would be in Houston.

I am not convinced Brock can be a serious QB in this league. His catch on 1st and goal from the 1 was a prime example that he has very little game awareness.

If we had Wyatt, and a healthy O-Line, then I think we could run the ball and play enough D to be better, but thats not the hand we have been dealt.

I would say we are on the way to our 3rd 9-7 season, and maybe that wins the division
