Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. And sing ain't good.

That was HUGE. The haiders getting two FGs instead of TDs was big obviously. As Steve Young says, FGs bring you closer to losing than winning.

Yeah good point, two times this year I have seen a bad coaching move actually help his team. Yesterday with Singletary because a coach has to know forward progress is an unchallengeable play, even I knew that. Also Les Miles when LSU beat Tenn. Les's last second coaching was so bad it actually made Tenn. mess up and send to many men on the field.

I bet most of y'all chastising him didn't even know that it wasn't challengable. it did save us the game cuz momentum did slow down for the raiders after that.

didn't the Ref even say, "there was no fumble the whistle blew to stop forward progress making this non reviewable?"

Yea, this week's Raider game reminded me a lot of our loss in Week 1. We played the opposite role of that game this time around.

No but his horrible coaching almost cost us the game. 4 point lead, lets sit on it and pray that the defense doesn't give up a touchdown.

you're giving him way too much credit. The baboon flung his poop and something good happened by accident. That's all.

he should have challenged the blown call when we sacked Campbell for a safety.

This..

defense lost the saints game for us
defense most def lost the falcons game for us ( clements/letting them drive up the field twice at the end)


So I felt like the raiders were going to score, luckily they have a worse qb situ than we have.
