Chargers at Raiders Pre-Game Discussion (Week 18)

[northerner]

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, i agree with you - they shouldn’t narrow it just because kickers are better trained, better athletes, and more successful.

I’d rather they focus on retracting their new KO rule. The most un-football sacrilege ever foisted on our beloved game. I absolutely hate every little convoluted stupid part of it.

i was ok with some type of safer kick-off rules, but i hate that they killed the surprise onside kick. they should find a way to incorporate a surprise onside kick, or at least make the "declared" onside kick easier to recover for the kicking team.

the onside kick is basically dead right now.

Oakland doesn’t get the Raiders game?

Lately Bay Area TV has not been carrying Raiders games every week.

Interesting about who gets the Raiders/Chargers
Granted, the Broncos playing for something does make that game more meaningful. That said, if the Bengals lose, Chargers won't have anything to play for

as a santa clara resident, i could always count on watching the chargers vs. raider game on TV. now i have to go to a sportsbar if the steelers lose. if the steelers win, the game is meaningless (as you mentioned).

… but you still have to go to a sports bar, right?

Agree. The new kickoff rule is a travesty. They should scrap it. Go back to the way it was and move the touchback LOS back to the 20. The XFL isn't where they should be looking for changes.

Right!?!? And it feels like XFL stole the idea from an upper plains Arena League

game time decision on a meaningless game. i am tired of the sportsbar. :-)

i might go to houston for the WC game if we get the 5th seed, so i am hoping against a meaningless game on sunday.

Think I just read that Chiefs are starting Wence. KC doesn’t want to let Cincy in. Let’s just focus on our game and let the seeding fall to us getting up to 5. If Denver win, then they will be the 7th seed. Pitt loses and we win, we get the 5th seed. Either way, we are in.

When I see the Bills I see a team that can score the ball - interesting about being held below 30. They did have some turnover this year. Cook became more of a weapon

I am just glad the Chargers won't face them
Granted the Ravens in Baltimore won't be easy either!

could face'm in the AFCCG....

Crazier is how none of them advanced to a SB game as a Charger but Humphries did.

DEFENSE wins (or @least get you to) Super Bow!s,
