If this wasnt a weird game that could get you in the playoffs with a tie, does anyone else think that Staley would have gone for 2 after the TD at the end of regulation?
I understand the conservative decision to kick the extra point for overtime but I was kind of expecting a "john harbaugh" type of decision to win or lose with a 2 point attempt.
we have to have a 2 point play up our sleeves for that exact scenario. I think he does but thought it too risky, even for him..005 Brock Bowers, TE/HB/SR Georgia
.037 Braden Fiske, DT Florida St.
.069 Mike Sainristil, CB Michigan
.105 Brenden Rice, WR USC
.110 Mason McCormick, OG/OC S. Dakota St.
.140 Zak Zinter, OG Michigan
.181 Nehemiah Pritchett, CB Auburn
.225 Ainias Smith, WR Texas A&M
.253 Carson Steele, RB UCLA

That play ended up not mattering because we still converted deep in their territory on that MW reception. It still sucked to not get a TD there though.

Most people are critical of Staley for being too aggressive,
I'm disappointed that he wasn't agressive enough

1. If I were the Raiders HC, I would just want to get in the playoff, so giving it all for a win will not be my approach... (save yourself for the next match!)
2. Once in the playoff, it is reset. Every one is 0-0.
Why will you need to try to avoid the Chiefs?? If you want to win the superbowl, you charge straight through any opponents in your way!
Heck, I'd rather win at KS next to get more momentum going forward!
3. I also don't want * next to my superbowl accomplishment that I won because I was lucky not facing the Chiefs...
Go Bolts!!!

//Conspiracy theory on
Not going for 2 at the end of the half may have 'signaled' to the Raiders that we are open for a tie...
Not going for it in OT as usual, may have sent a 'stronger' signal...
However, the timeout in OT sent a different signal (that we want to preserve time and try to win)...
Thus, the Raiders changed their mind and here we are...
