Around SBN: What If This Is It For The Celtics? End Of An Era Looming

Halftime Thread: Oakland Raiders 20 AZ 17


The zebras have definitely been lined up against the Raiders as they have nearly called more penalty yards against the team than the Cardinals have been able to afford themselves.

The play calling up until the final drive was befuddling.

The Raiders turned the ball over once on a pick and let a kickoff be returned for a TD to start the game, yet they lead 20-17 and get the ball back to start the 2nd Half.

Alright Raider Nation, Exhale, and let me know what you think about the first half.

I have literally rewritten this post 3 times in the last 2 minutes!!! I can hardly stand it.

This team is playing with fire consistently and the Head Coaching is Singletary-like, but they are finding a way.

Go Raiders!!!

First! lol

I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP

How about

“Nnamdi finally GETTING TO show why we pay him all that money.” By getting a chance to take away the other team’s best receiver rather being stuck on one side of the field.

Thomas, the Brincos rookie WR, is looking pretty good.
