OK, NFL. Got it. You want Oakland to win. Just set the score before the game so we dont waste our time.

How could they not confirm that was a TD? Ruling on the field stands? If that's not a catch and a td, then nothing is.

Watching Cook run his routes tonight, Borges can drop all his snarky crap about Gronk pushing off.

Gonna be interesting to see what shakes out with the Lynch situation. He supposedly left the stadium after he got ejected, and there were questions about whether he ran onto the field to help his teammate, or to actually help Marcus Peters, who is a buddy of his or something.

I know the flags were a bit much but the NFL needed a game like that. Hopefully enough people watched. That was a great game all things considered.

I hope it means the end of that awful 10 second runoff rule, I mean seriously what is the point of that aside from screwing a team who needs every second they can get at the end of a game??

Navorro Bowman leads Oakland with 11 tackles tonight. Man, wish that guy would have given New England a look, but he was staying on the west coast. He would have been exactly what we needed to shore up the linebacking corps.

I mean, it was a gift to OAK, the ref fucked up the spot and OAK would not have snapped that ball within any less than 13-15 seconds if they had to run up to the 1

It's because if the call was made correctly on the field, the clock would have kept running. Kansas City actually got screwed there by calling it a touchdown. If the ref correctly called him down at the 1, the clock would have kept running, and Oakland may not have gotten a play off.

Ahhh ok, For some reason I still totally hate that rule though.

I still maintain he didn't have control of the ball until it was across the goal line. Where it was when his ass hit is irrelevant.
