I’d wager if he got stuffed there at the end they just let the clock run. It gets too risky from that distance.Playing for a win is different than playing for a TD. Of course the Raiders minimized risk, and it was going to come down to a long-ish FG.
they ran up the middle 3 times. They would have been perfectly happy to tie.

Yup. The TO was a horrible coaching decision.
Yeah they gave up almost twenty yards on runs. That’s the death of their season, not the TO.2nd and 11 on the 46, blatantly obvious that the Raiders are going to run twice….Chargers give up 17 yards. Nice work guys.
Well, it would have been more like 53 (unless they stuffed him for a loss of yards). I think they would have kicked anything up to 60 anyway.I don’t know if you try a 57 yarder. Puts block on the table.
He said as a coach it was the right decision for your team at a certain point.Numbnuts Collinsworth begging for the tie for most of the game, and in particular in Overtime was a very bad look for the league
They threw on 3rd and 8 from their own 44 with 2:22 left. If they wanted a tie they could have run up the middle again, clock goes down to 2:00, punt it deep, and the Chargers go conservative and they're both in. They clearly were never trying to tie.I mean they had to at first. Too much time to go three and out.
The Raiders also ran for 174 yards and passed for around the same amount. Not like they couldn't get first downs this way. If they only wanted a few first downs, running it would be the obvious route to get enough firsts while killing the clock.I mean they had to at first. Too much time to go three and out.
I don’t even understand why they wouldn’t try to win. No one wants to go to KC if they can avoid it.
All San Diego had to do is stop a run they knew was coming and they didn’t.
Yeah, but they might have thought San Diego would take another timeout on a stop to try a punt block. And instead of letting the clock run at the end they kicked in retaliation.
They should probably move the team back after that disaster.It wasn’t the TO, it was the atrocious SD run defense.
They were lined up in the shotgun before the TO, what is he talking about?Yes, just now on the post game.
What did he say the strategy was that changed?Yes, just now on the post game.
And kept throwing after they were already out of danger of both field position and losing.To improve field position to avoid losing
Eh, I don’t think so. It’s a weird quirk, but it made the game more compelling and surely kept viewers watching. I mean, the Steelers were only in that position because they tied, and didn’t beat the Lions, anyways.Numbnuts Collinsworth begging for the tie for most of the game, and in particular in Overtime was a very bad look for the league
I need a few more years before I call them LA. It’s the uniforms.They should probably move the team back after that disaster.
They stopped after the got to the 50And kept throwing after they were already out of danger of both field position and losing.
Instead of running up the middle they had been planning to run up the other middle.What did he say the strategy was that changed?
Didn’t go into much detail, but pretty definitively said yes, the TO changed their strategy.What did he say the strategy was that changed?
Or San Diego calls timeout and tries to score themselves.They threw on 3rd and 8 from their own 44 with 2:22 left.

They threw on 2nd and 3 at midfield with just over 3 minutes left....They stopped after the got to the 50
Yes, but the change of strategy could have been from a pass to a run.Didn’t go into much detail, but pretty definitively said yes, the TO changed their strategy.
I don’t know why this is hard. He said we changed our strategy after the timeout.What did he say the strategy was that changed?

Yeah ... you're not getting the point. It's been answered up aboveI don’t know why this is hard. He said we changed our strategy after the timeout.
This is the playoffs, that’s usually how it works unless you’re one of those three best teams.High likelihood that the Pats are going to have to beat the three best teams in the AFC if they want to make the Super Bowl. Good luck, fellas…
You think the chargers are going to get aggressive with 2 minutes left in a game they don't need to win from deep in their own territory?Or San Diego calls timeout and tries to score themselves.
They were short of midfield and not downfieldThey threw on 2nd and 3 at midfield with just over 3 minutes left....
Nevermind that I saw how animated Carr was after an incompletion on the final drive. Is this interim guy going to tell him to frigging settle for a tie?If Bisaccia took a tie and the Raiders lost, never mind got their doors blown off in KC next week, he not only wouldn't have gotten the Raiders job fulltime, but he'd also never get another HC opportunity again. He had to play to win.
I’m clearly not the only one.Yeah ... you're not getting the point. It's been answered up above
On the road too.High likelihood that the Pats are going to have to beat the three best teams in the AFC if they want to make the Super Bowl. Good luck, fellas…
It really was riveting. Glad I stayed up.That was one of the best football games I've ever seen. I guess that's all I can ask for.
I think Kaepernick's playoff record of 181 yards rushing by a QB is safe, but Allen could break 100 Saturday night.High likelihood that the Pats are going to have to beat the three best teams in the AFC if they want to make the Super Bowl. Good luck, fellas…
I asked if it was Carr who said the strategy changed. That was answered.I’m clearly not the only one.
I think he also realized the matchups would have been better than they are now.I thought he was much more fun than usual and maybe he still has animus against Pitt from his playing days
All you're saying is that the strategy changed (as voiced by Carr), but we don't know how it changed. Maybe they were getting ready to pass, but then because of the TO decided to run. Or they were going to pitch to the left, but decided to run up the middle during the TO.I’m clearly not the only one.
If that’s true that’s mystifying. And no idea how they can read lips through a hand, but hey!
Forgive me, I assumed you were watching the immediate postgame.I asked if it was Carr who said the strategy changed. That was answered.
Then I asked if he had indicated how the strategy changed. That was answered.
I don't know what is confusing you about this
