Oakland deserves to lose and GRUDEN should be FIRED !

[dta6]

With over 2 minutes to play UP ONLY 3 points they got conservative and ran the ball 3 times and punted ! What they really needed was another 7 points to put the Patriots away !

Gruden YOU SUCK ! Extremely shitting play calling !

The last drive for the Patriots they went 80+ yards and scored a DAMN TOUCHDOWN !

:nono: GRUDEN !

Thanks for costing me $$$$ and you the season and probably YOUR JOB ! SCHMUCK

 

[JSMOOTH]

Gruden should be fired? Oakland deserved to lose?

Thats ridiculous! Just cause they lost you some $. I had Oakland also, but I pushed. Am I pissed? HELL YEAH, I am.

How many teams from California could go into a freaking blizzard and lead the hottest team in the league for almost the entire game? The answer is 1.

If, in fact the rule that was stated by Simms and Gumbel is the correct ruling, then it needs to be changed.

I thought it was an excellent coaching desicion to even send Woodson on the blitz.

 

[dta6]

Just my opinion....

Just my opinion....

I think Gruden is GONE !

Conservative football with 2 mins left and all your time outs...

When the PATS just went 80+ for a touchdown ?

COME ON ! GET REAL !

THE RAIDER "D" just gave up 80+ yards the LAST DRIVE !

 

[gardenweasel]

was a bad call no matter the spin

was a bad call no matter the spin

was lucky enough to get the hook,but gruden did go into a shell in 4th qtr....feel sorry for all the dressed up yoyo`s in oakland(first and last time).a royal screwing.afraid of seeing another cleveland.

 

[JSMOOTH]

ya know...I hope they do fire Gruden. I would love to see him in Tampa Bay.

 

[gardenweasel]

he`d probably hire tony dungy as OFFENSIVE coordinator(truly offensive).good luck tomorrow but take refs into account if you bet the away teams....

 

[ZigZag]

All the refs have to do is come back and say the ruling on the field stands and then all Grudens bonehead calls don't really matter.

I do agree that he basically choked with his decisions.

Can someone help me with this one - WHY the hell does anyone use a no receiver set for short yardage. Why why why. What the hell is the point. Put 2 / 3 rec out their and get 3 more guys away from the line.

Second thing - what kind of idiot calls 2 timeouts to ice the kicker in a snow storm. Hello bonehead - you are giving them time to clear a space to kick from.

 

[JSMOOTH]

I'm pretty sure that they only called one

I'm pretty sure that they only called one

They were motioning for a second TO, but never called it. (unless they were motioning for a third)

 

[ZigZag]

Yes you are correct sir


They were motioning for the second one - By then they could have layed a nice patch of pavement to kick off of.

dta(and supporters) you say "Oakland deserves to lose and GRUDEN should be FIRED "

Yeah right..Thanks for the 1st hint of a smile since Oak and Gruden just got a royal fuching! Your a dick

 

[BadMove]

I think it's great if Gruden gets the AX, that means Tampa will have the coach that they have been waiting for..... You can't blame Gruden for this loss, this is the NFL fellas with are with out the replay......Gruden is still a great coach and will be for long time.... I hope it will be in Tampa ........By the way I did not wager on this game.....

 

[T-Bone]

gruden is not gone he is one of the hottest commodities in coaching oakland would be stupid to give him up he could just about name his price and team. they did make several mistakes but the game was over oakland won kneel down run out the clock over. the refs cost them the game period and i still say that is not the rule the league will say monday that it was a blown call they will say it very quitely and it still won't change anything. i too got a push out of what was an easy win they controlled the whole game until the last few minutes . but its over now just another game gone by lets move on to tomorrow and nail those 2

 

[THISclose]

Bone,,Amen..Time to look ahead but this one is tough to swallow. I had a handsome 3 Teamer STOLEN from me Damn it! THISclose(again)

 

[sandmarkny]

Gruden is not gone...the game was lost because the refs can't see straight. I don't know how you can have instant replay and still got the call right. Brady brought the ball down and it even touched his left hand...it was clearly a pump fake. Don't get me wrong, it was a great game and I am a Raider fan, but I hate to see a game lost because of this. And stop the nonsense of Gruden being fired. He is a great coach and yes some mistakes were made in the game. He should of called time out in the fourth quarter before for the field goal that tied the game.

 

[bgold13]

I am a Radiers fan, I had Oak plus 3 today. Do i blame Gruden? HELL NO.... I Blame the defense for not being able to stop the pats passing game. The refs cost them the game as well, but that is the way it goes. Gruden is the best coach in my opinion in the NFL and he showed tremendous class after the game in his comments

 

[dta6]

I respect all OPINIONS here...

I respect all OPINIONS here...

It seems that some of you dont respect MINE !

I find it extremely interesting no one has addressed my comment on....

2 mins left and ONLY a 3 point lead and just running it and punting....

When the PATS just drove 80+ yards and scored and the Raider "D" could not stop BRADY who was 9-9 in passing !!!!!

NO ANSWER THAT !

:shrug:

:nono:

you are not wrong...pats played to win...raiders played not to lose.raiders have to much offense to go into a shell late and depend on their lousy defense to hold the fort.lot of nfl coaches play this way and usually lose.

dta,
"2 mins left and ONLY a 3 point lead and just running it and punting"

1 simple broken tackle and a 1st down and it's over. Why would you want to put the ball in the air when a 1st down on the ground is a good possibility? I've watched games get "closed out" this way a zillion times. What if one of those "just running it" plays breaks for a 1st down? Give me a break. Throwing the ball in that mess could have got ya a pick off and then you'd be saying what a dumb fuch Gruden was for throwing the ball. Hindsight is awesome isn't it?

Just got home and saw you were crying again. THISclose is 100% correct. I am sending this one special delivery to Hollywood just for you!!

 

[Patriot]

Let me first start by saying that I AM a Patriots fan.

I'll be the first to admit that it may have been abad call. But you know, sometimes you get the bear.... Sometimes the bear gets you !!! The real point is that the Raiders had that 3rd. and 1 with about 2 minutes left and DID NOT GET IT DONE. There's your ballgame.
