RaidersAreOne Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) This is a playoff game. Both teams are fighting for a playoff spot and whoever wins this game makes the playoffs (Raiders can make it still if a couple other teams win iirc).

RaidersAreOne Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 I for one am shocked the Raiders are even in a position to make the playoffs tbh. This has been a season from hell for Vegas. Ruggs killing, Gruden gong show, Arnette accidents/gun video, Hobbs DUI, Jacobs DUI, Covid, Waller injuries/covid, yet here we are.

HerbertGOAT Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Derek Carr deserves some sort of award for his perseverance this year. Bisaccia too. This game should be ridiculously fun, we haven't had many high-stakes Chargers vs Raiders games lately. I think it'll be a shootout, with Herbert getting his first 400 yard game en route to a 38-28 victory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Isn't it the case where if they tie, they both make the playoffs? It wouldn't be fun to watch, but the idea of some sort of truce where both teams agree to kneel the ball every play to end in a 0-0 tie is very funny.

Jakuvious Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Between the stakes and the teams involved, this just feels to me like it's going to turn into one of those, no one seems to want to win, kind of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if that is the case, unless there's some rule somewhere that says you can't, I don't know why you wouldn't. Ensure you get into the playoffs with no extra wear and tear. The goal isn't to win that game, it's to win the Super Bowl. Both teams would be stupid to not make that deal. I just checked, looks like Jags need to beat the Colts as well. That's an early game so LA/NV would know before kickoff. Also, "Even as overwhelming favorites against the NFL’s worst team at 2-14, it should be noted the Colts haven’t won at TIAA Bank Field since 2014 and are 3-8 in their last 11 trips to Jacksonville."

AlexGreen#20 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 If this game isn't a 5 total play kneel out, I'm going to be upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenos Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Chargers are the better team on paper especially with a lot of key pieces coming back healthy. But this is also the Chargers, and they could just as easily screw this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By far the biggest issue with this strategy is that you would have to have a LOTTTT of trust in the other team's coach to do this for 4 quarters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It would be super cool if they played to a tie, but I'd prefer the NBA version with "no defense played" Each team gets 10 drives, they score on each, successfully go for two and we end up with an 88-88 final score Also noted: Chargers are going to be playing the ghost of John Madden on Sunday night, that's a really tough one to overcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
