SNF - Official “Don’t Tie” Thread

[zeke5123]

What Collinsworth didn't seem to understand was that the Raiders did have an incentive to win the game. A tie still gets them in but would have sent them to KC.

Smart call by their coach as the only really bad scenario at the end is a blocked kick for a TD.

Yeah. The risk reward there is worth the tiny odds of not getting into the playoffs.

why the fuck did the chargers call timeout

[jeemie]

I’m thinking Los Angeles called the timeout because they had to pretend they wanted to get the ball back to not make it look too obvious.

Then once the Raiders got into FG range on the next play they had to try for it to look good.

Make it or miss it, they win. They just happened to make it.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Did this thread set a record for non Steeler game?

[Orangesteel]

Whole thing still seems very very fucking suspicious. Like, come on now people.

They sure didn’t act like they were going with that script…not at the end.

My though was the coach was telling them to let the runner get the first down in hopes that the Raiders would then just run the clock out. A 4th down with time on the clock means they had to attempt a FG. Chargers played for a tie.

All I have to say for the next minute:

[jeemie]

Whole thing still seems very very fucking suspicious. Like, come on now people.

The least vile interpretation of NFL kept the fans of Pittsburgh interested in this game until the very end.

So they had three cities with eyeballs in their product.

When you think of everything that had to go right for us in our game at the end and then everything that had to go right in this game at the end.

absolutely i mean this game should not have even been played at 8pm. Should have gone off with the steelers/ravens and colts/jags games

[jeemie]

We don’t enjoy Steeler seasons.

We endure them.

WWF

No other way to explain it

[bradshaw2ben]

if you are the raiders - you shove it up their ass because of that time out

This x 1,000,000

[Greeksteel]

Not gonna lie, i think i lost a few years of my life in stress today.

[Steelperch]

Steelers are 13.5 point underdogs next Sunday. Anyone want that action?

WWE...point well made

[swissvale72]

Suffer through it and hope we're happy in the end. And today, the suffering extended to the very last second of the fuckin' season!!

[Jizz Mop]

Uh nope

[jeemie]

Steelers are 13.5 point underdogs next Sunday. Anyone want that action?

Unless Mike Tomlin finally realizes how rare these chances are and tells Ben to go out in a blaze of glory?

I’m not touching that action.

He needs to do a Bill Cowher 2004 or we are fucked.

[bradshaw2ben]

There is 0.0% chance all of todays events happened organically and nothing was controlled or scripted. This entire league is set up to torture Steelers fans. it’s our own Truman show

Yes. We are all being filmed in our living rooms. They will release this film one day

Oh shit that’s gonna be embarrassing

Every football fan I know (from other teams) was watching and texting me. The ratings for this game are going to be astronomical!

I am coming around to the idea that everything around us is scripted theater.

I would take that

We had an absolutely insane number of people on the site today. There’s no monetization to speak of but thank you all for sharing in the fear/joy/misery!
