It's an accurate exclamation, but definitely a vague one.

Last play for the win, but the possibility of blowing your own chance of making the playoffs. Stupid call on the chargers time out, gutsy call on kicking the field goal wo win the game.

there are rumors that Michigan's Harbaugh may be the next coach. I believe that's why the Raider's coach played to win the game. It's going to be hard to not give him a shot at being head coach now.

What a game, 6 4th down conversions by the Chargers and a 2 point conversion.

If they tied, both teams went to the playoffs. The field goal then let the Steelers in.

If they were on their own 20, then you take a knee and both teams move forward but from where they were, it was a gutsy call, but I am glad they went for the win. That said, I am a Patriots fan so I did not really have a dog in the fight.

Players coaches everyone.

If he’d missed they both would have still made the playoffs and the Steelers would have been out.

That must have been a helluva 4th quarter.

The Raiders will be the fourth playoff team to have a different coach in the postseason than in its season opener, with Bisaccia joining the 1961 Houston Oilers (Wally Lemm), the 1952 Los Angeles Rams (Hamp Pool) and the 1942 Chicago Bears (co-coaches Hunk Anderson and Luke Johnsos), according to Elias Sports Bureau research.

Indeed, the Raiders won their final four games by a total of 12 points, the lowest scoring margin in NFL history by a team to win its final four games, per Elias. The 1926 Kansas City Cowboys won their final four games by a combined 16 points.

We grew up as Broncos fans. The last several years we've been supporting the AFC West in general - hell, even that sentiment has shifted to any team, from any sport as long as they're aligned with the West somehow.

Gotta say, last night I was rooting for a tie. Couldn't ask for a better game though.
