childofpudding Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Dude at the bottom of the formation. Is wide open. Carr in shotgun. Maybe the Raiders strategy changed from pass to run with that TO. Staley could not not call a TO with that WR so open like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything coming out of that Carr interview and video of Ekeler with that Raiders player screams different, which is the entire basis of what my thoughts are. I think all Carr meant was that they went to a run instead of a pass. Chargers still couldn’t stop the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyB Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 In the same interview that Carr said the TO shifted their strategy, he literally said they weren't gonna go for the tie, they always wanted to win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkippyX Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 You play your opponent. The opponent was letting you run out the clock and maybe or maybe not try a very long FG. You win in almost all cases (the 108 yard missed FG return being the only ultra rare downside) The opponent then changed their strategy and used a timeout. This forced you to now expect that they could use the 2nd timeout and now a missed long FG would not be at zero on the clock, it would leave 30 seconds for the other team to go 25 yards, kick a FG, and end your season. Your objective must now be to get the 1st down to allow you to control the clock again. You did not need that 1st down in the first scenario. This is basic logic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People also forget that the team could get in serious trouble if they deliberately try to tie. It creates scandal and makes people feel that there’s a fix.

Yeah that's what stood out to me too. Didn't know that about Carr's post game presser. 5 minutes ago, DannyB said: ehhhh... It's interesting, and there's smoke, but I remain unconvinced. I'm not sure that's what's being said there. lmao sure looks like it I love Ekeler's "maaaaan". He's a great dude. Watch him interviewed after Chargers games cause of the local postgame show after SNF and he's always a class act. Shame Staley and the run defense ruined this for him and the rest of the offense which fought their way back.
