Jack del rio should be fired for that decision

 

[54thMA]

WHY RE THEY GOING FOR 2

Raiders gonna Raider.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Long snapper recovered fumbled punt, was on bottom of pile...

Really?

 

[EricFeczko]

I don't remember one as black and white stupid.

That's true, but it still doesn't even come close to the dumbest play ever.

 

[soxhop411]

and now the raiders will blow it

 

[mostman]

That DPI was even more egregious than the Gronk end zone one.

I still think the play before on Talib was a bigger miss. He had jersey and mask all at once.

 

[Dogman]

Centers snap in shotgun all the time, not kicking there is totally indefensible.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Apparently OAK's long snapper is hurt

 

[Ed Hillel]

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH JACK DEL RIO??? WTFWTFWTFWTF

 

[Byrdbrain]

Long snapper recovered fumbled punt, was on bottom of pile...

Yep, but you should have another guy or two who can do that job.

 

[AbbyNoho]

An injury and not having time to get someone else ready to do it is the only possible reason I can think of for not kicking the extra point. That has to be it, there is no way even Jack Del Rio is that dumb.

 

[DJnVa]

Shotgun is one thing--a snap to a holder is another.

 

[Buck Showalter]

long snapper is hurt

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Well, if they don't have an emergency backup for that possible eventuality, it's coaching malfeasance.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Yep, but you should have another guy or two who can do that job.

Well you should, but, Raiders....

 

[mostman]

That kid is a monster huh?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Well, if they don't have an emergency backup for that possible eventuality, it's coaching malfeasance.

God Bless Nink

 

[speedracer]

Shotgun snap != kicking snap, but they really should have a backup kicking snapper.

 

[AbbyNoho]

They absolutely should have someone else capable of doing it, so it's still gross coaching incompetence, but I think at the very least amount of benefit of the doubt Del Rio at least knows how to count to 3.

 

[Dogman]

Shotgun is one thing--a snap to a holder is another.

Sure, but let's not make this a completely foreign concept for a center. He could easily make that snap.

 

[EricFeczko]

....Raiders are playing not to lose instead of trying to win.

 

[LogansDad]

MISS!!!!

 

[staz]

DOINK!!

 

[Stitch01]

Ok someone being hurt makes sense

DOINK

 

[jk333]

I still think the play before on Talib was a bigger miss. He had jersey and mask all at once.

Yes but Cooper pushed off first.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Shotgun snap != kicking snap, but they really should have a backup kicking snapper.

So, what if Oakland has to punt?

 

[Byrdbrain]

That's true, but it still doesn't even come close to the dumbest play ever.

No the Colts "fake punt" has retired that award. It may have been the dumbest decision to go for two ever. The decision made slightly better after we know that the snapper is hurt.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

DOINK

 

[Dogman]

NICE

 

[mikeford]

LOOOOOOOOOOOL dat FG

 

[mostman]

You can drop kick a PAT right? Where is Flutie?

 

[Sportsbstn]

Come on Raiders.

 

[Ed Hillel]

They don't have someone who can act as a long snapper? So do they not punt anymore either? WTF.

 

[E5 Yaz]

No the Colts "fake punt" has retired that award.

SC doesn't even do the "worst of the worst" thing on its Not Top Ten anymore, since the fake punt kept winning

 

[DJnVa]

Sure, but let's not make this a completely foreign concept for a center. He could easily make that snap.

Yeah, I would think so as well, just trying to puzzle it out.

 

[Al Zarilla]

You can, but someone has to have practiced it.

 

[Cellar-Door]

So, what if Oakland has to punt?

I think that's easier for a center. It's a long distance, but still getting it the same height. One problem with a holder is the snap has to be lower as well as long.

 

[E5 Yaz]

They don't have someone who can act as a long snapper? So do they not punt anymore either? WTF.

A punt snap is different than a placement snap ... but, still ...

 

[DeadlySplitter]

They don't have someone who can act as a long snapper? So do they not punt anymore either? WTF.

I think it's more likely someone fucked up upstairs

Maybe someone overreacting to the new PAT rules

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Even if you have a backup, with the added distance on the extra point now, I can see an argument that risk reward changes.

 

[DanoooME]

They don't have someone who can act as a long snapper? So do they not punt anymore either? WTF.

You would think the regular center could handle the job in a pinch.

 

[cshea]

Carr pooch punt would be my guess.

 

[Dogman]

Yeah, I would think so as well, just trying to puzzle it out.

Absolutely. If it comes down to needing a FG to tie or win, at least they had some practice on a snap. Infuriating.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I don't care about the difference, if you don't have someone who can backup longsnap on your roster, you suck as a coach.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I think that's easier for a center. It's a long distance, but still getting it the same height. One problem with a holder is the snap has to be lower as well as long.

You never saw a center fuck up a punt snap? I did once. May be coming up right here.

So, who centered for the punt? No problemo.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Hard to keep the chains moving against Denver in their building when you false start every series.

 

[EricFeczko]

looked pretty good to me. Just like the raiders punting team looked on every other punt this game.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hey look, someone else can snap!

 

[Cellar-Door]

And guess what... their LS was in there. So either it was a real short term injury or Del Rio is just a moron.

It could be both
