Raider dumbassery Topic

I'm sure no one watches the Raiders but a few stragglers.

Nonetheless, I'm one of them.   So, as the clock winds down and it looks like the Raiders might win for the first time since Nov 17, 2013, Sio Moore sacks Smith on 3rd down.   Instead of getting back to play 4th down, he and Khalil Mack go into some elaborate handshaking celebration 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage.   Raiders have to burn a timeout to avoid the penalty thus giving the Chiefs time to regroup for the final play.    Fortunately, Smith can't pass more than 7 yards with any accuracy and he misses the receiver by 15 feet.  Raiders win.

Instead of being happy, I'm ******.  You've got two young players too busy slapping one another on the *** to know that the game is still on.   In a way, I wanted that to hurt.  Maybe cost them the game.   Obviously, they're not releasing Mack but Moore isn't some future Pro Bowl player.   In my mind, losing the game and releasing Moore might have done more good than actually winning the game.

That was brutal. I did like his quote after the game though. "People say to act like you've been there before, well I'd never nbeen there before". Lol. I do think he's going to be a solid part of the D for awhile.

They're both rookies, Carr is a rookie... yes it was stupid as ****, but it was in fact their first win ever.

And then they showed Tuck calling the timeout.  The whole game I had been watching Woodson and Tuck and thinking, how does this **** feel for you guys?

Moore is not a rookie. 

I don't really mind the celebrations of big plays(three yard reception celebrations **** me off).   But there's a time and a place.   You're going for your first win in a year.   Get back and finish the ******* game.

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Veteran safety Charles Woodson has been one of the Oakland Raiders' most consistent defensive players this season and has been a model of professionalism on and off the field.

On Thursday night, the 38-year-old found himself in the unenviable position of nearly coming to blows with teammate Sio Moore after the second-year linebacker cost the team a timeout while dancing and celebrating a sack late in the game.

Moore's celebration went far beyond the normal jump-up-and-prance-around routine most players do when making a big play. After dropping Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith for a 7-yard loss at Kansas City's 48-yard line, Moore sprinted down inside the 10-yard line and began to dance and gyrate while the crowd cheered. Rookie linebacker Khalil Mack joined in and repeatedly slapped hands with Moore, then two other Oakland players came running in to keep the party going.

The only problem was that while the Raiders were celebrating, the Chiefs were hustling back to the line of scrimmage and on the verge of snapping the ball -- and getting a free play -- when Oakland defensive end Justin Tuck wisely called a timeout.

"I couldn't believe it," Woodson said. "That was the first time I had ever seen somebody celebrate for a whole 40-second clock. That was ridiculous, and they know it. I told Sio he's lucky we got the win because we really probably would've had to fight, and I would've seen exactly what kind of fighter he is."

All of it became a moot point after Kansas City turned the ball over on downs and the Raiders held on to win, ending their 16-game losing streak. Had it worked out differently, Woodson said, there would have been big issues inside the Raiders' locker room.

Woodson might have been making the comment in jest, though he clearly was irked.

For his part, Moore was apologetic after the game.

"I was so caught up in the moment, man," Moore said. "That was an error I've got to make sure I clean up."

I went from rooting for the Raiders to get their first win to actively rooting against them after that play.  

That, combined with 3 separate defensive penalties on the 4th down before that? Holy ****. I don't think they had a defensive penalty all game before that.

Well, you only rooted against them for one play.

WELCOME TO RAIDER NATION!!!!

A 2nd win could cost them pick #1.   Dumbass.

I picked up the Rams D in a fantasy league specifically because they were playing Oakland.  Jacksonville's D would've been a good play this week too!
