    The offense was basically stuck in 1st gear for the entire game + one play.

    Did you see a lot of number 14 jerseys? I noticed during the Monday night game that down near field level Watt jerseys were the most prevalent but also lots of Pickens jerseys as well

    The Raiders will never truly have a home game. Sucks for them. I've always kinda liked the Raiders. If there were no Steelers they would be my team... Thankfully the Steelers exist lol

    Pink elephant cards, late 70's 80's drinking game, the cards had tongue twisters that were definitely hard to say when you were hammered!!

    Yeah, that was a blatant miss by the officials. Blow to the head and he landed his weight right on top of Kenny.

    Missing that call was irritating on its own, but then to later call RTP on Minkah? Just brutal.

    I am really doubting even 20 years will be enough, just too many things
    To do in these 2 cities.

    A couple of years ago when the Vikings were making a playoff run I kept track of all the Vikings jerseys I saw at work. Plenty of Barr, Diggs, Theilen, Cook, Peterson, Smith and current team members but it was funny seeing a stray Brad Johnson or Gus Ferrote. A Culpepper a Robert Smith and one very old Kramer jesery that was fading quickly. Always fun to see what ppl bring out of their closet when their team is winning.

    Anyone think that catch and run that Pickens had could have maybe been to the house if he cut back to the middle of the field instead of the sideline?

    I think he made a bit of a mistake there.

    Little better than being in reverse like the first two games.

    I screwed that up. Stuck in first gear except for one drive + 1 play. You’re right it was better than the last two. The first touchdown raiders appeared to be in man. Not sure about the lone td drive

    Pickett still left some plays out there and the offense got a little predictable at times but I do think there were some pretty good play calls. At least more than we had seen to this point.
