The NFL - National Football League (Page 51 of 94)

My brother in law and his son in law, a big time Steelers fan, do an annual to the Raiders-Steelers game in Oakland. Loser pays the airfare. My BIL is the brunt of many family jokes for this. It is rough living in a house of hard core Charger fans.We do humor him in his misery. He is as hard core Raider as they come. Undies, socks, house shoes and bobbleheads. He has a Stabler signed jersey and team signed ball from the championship year in his office. He does think Raider Nation fans go a little overboard, relating from last year at dinner in a nearby hotel restaurant that two fans got into a fistfight, knocking down tables, chairs and each other arguing about play calls in one more losing effort.

What a blowout last night, did not see that coming.

I will pass that on to my BIL! Good luck to the Raiders, they're going to need it!
On a sour note, the Charger game is blacked out due to low ticket sales. I guess they'll air the Raiders?

Tres, that is a local blackout. I may go to a buddy's house who has DTV and the NFL package.

It's a sign Rick, it's a sign, ha ha.

I am actually sorry and surprised that that particular game didn't sell-out with the 2 teams playing.
The weather is always perfect where you are at.

There are a number of great games this weekend.  Glad you found a place to see it
Blackouts are no fun

Please be okay Darrius Heyward Bey. 

I am really Raider RiverCat^-^ pissed off. 

The NFL needs to get the regular officials back.  That was a helmet to facemask hit.  Illegal.

All rules are off now, Pittsburgh.

Thanks JDawg.  The only news I heard so far was Darrius was able to move his extremities, which is a good sign.  They said they are keeping him overnight. That is all I have heard so far.  Any updates would be appreciated.  Better to be cautious. 

Yeah it was great to see Jano hit the winning field goal.  They made sure to get it on the grass for him, as opposed to the dirt.  Especially for the effort the whole team put in. Bey had a touchdown earlier in the game and that was great to see.  Glad to see that  Offensive Coordinator Knapp finally put in the no-huddle. That is one of Carson's strong points and it really helped the team. They finally used our FB and TE better too.  It was a very tough game.  Our defense came together in the 2nd half and made some outstanding plays.  It was a game of 2 very polished Quarterbacks and Pittsburgh's defense is always up there.

RunDMC did a fantastic job.  Especially in the 3rd quarter when he got hit and went down on a Steeler, but his knee wasn't down and he ran for 5 more yards.  Then the next play he got hit, but still ran and lunged to the goal line.  Unfortunately his forearm touched the ground first before the football crossed the goal line. Dan Fouts, the commentator, was very impressed with the extra effort McFadden gave on both plays.  He thought it was better than the 64 yd. run TD. 

And that 64 yd. run was a power play and not the zone blocking scheme.   Just like last year.   

We know Mcfadden excels at power blocking, now we will just have to wait to see if he can have those types of runs in this new system.  It's going to take time, because he is a power blocking runner.  And a big shoutout to the offensive line, Carson Palmer's best friend.  They did a tremendous job against a tough defense.  They deserve some Bar-B-Que.

Our Special Teams Coach just should stay at the Bar. Coaches like he is drunk.

It was a pleasure to have Dan Fouts commentating on the game.  I enjoyed it.  He said Carson was like a General on the field.  That's a high compliment coming from a Great QB like Fouts.  He gave the Raiders many a great game, it was good to see him in the booth instead of on the field.  Dan Fouts was so good at calling the game, I was wishing he was one of the Replacement Refs.

There were a lot of blown calls today.  I hope it's not like this for the rest of the season.  Can they come to a deal soon?
