Chargers at Raiders Pre-Game Discussion (Week 18)

[Formula 21]

NFL needs to make a package for any fan yto watch just their team no matter what! ....sold out... home?...on road?.... no matter what!.... most fans would pay for that .....

Dear NFL. Don’t fuck with our playoff games on network tv.

I had no idea Chark was a Scot.

McChark back in the old days.

[Charge!]

Dear NFL. Don’t fuck with our playoff games on network tv.

AGREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fouts2herbert]

Wow, Josh's had a rough year, so many injuries, hamstring, knee, that nasty elbow, a shoulder, and now he has a foot issue

Might be best for Denzel to sit the Raider game out, we'll need him healed up for the playoffs...

Is that Chark going up for a one handed grab???

[Boltx]

Even if the #5 seed is on the line...do we limit Bosa in some capacity?

He's finally mostly healthy and decently effective - I think for us to make some noise in the playoffs this year we need as much pass rush as we can generate. I just hate to tempt fate on the eve of the playoffs.

Best case scenario we out the Raiders away early and can give most starters a breather.

A LETTER FROM THE NFL:

Dear fans,

For many years, you've gotten a free ride with all those games we broadcasted on network TV. But now, due to increased expenses, and our drive to line our own pockets with beaucoup bucks, we have received several lucrative offers from Netflix, Amazon Prime, and ESPN, in addition to our very own NFL Network. As a result of our acceptance of these very generous offers, we are forced to limit the number of free football games available on network TV. We sincerely hope you will understand that our top executives have bills to pay for their multiple mansions and vacation homes, their fleets of luxury vehicles and private jets, and their gambling addictions due to our partnership with several sleazy Vegas and online gambling companies. Due to these multiple partnerships, we feel we will be able to continue to bring you the excellent quality of subscription and pay per view programming you now enjoy. We would like to thank you for your continued investment in the NFL, and look forward to you financially partnering with us in the years to come so we can continue to royally jack you for even more of your hard-earned bucks!

Sincerely,
The NFL

No, apparently Harbo will keep him in the ahem, Chark Tank....

[ChargerBlue]

From the post-game celebration? That was before him knowing that he could be playing for nothing. I accept anything he does, but realistically, he should be planning for the worst case situation of having to play against the Ravens.

Why should one team fear another team? Doesn't make sense.

Best case scenario we out the Raiders away early and can give most starters a breather.

i think, at this point, the default setting is to limit Bosa.

this sounds like the letter college football sent to its fans: we need more NIL money, so tickets prices are doubled, or we can pass around an NIL hat.

All this talk about the 5 seed and I wonder how the Texans respond come next weekend.
it's an awful lot of disrespect, I'd hate to think that translates into them playing their hearts out and beating us (assuming we win the 5 seed).
If I'm coach Ryans, I print up every bit of bulletin board material my media team can find.

Okay, that's my devils advocate. Still want to play them instead of the Ravens?
I do.
