Yikes, Raiders receivers really not helping Derek Carr.

Finally atoning for that Colts playoff game!

Very interested in seeing how Rivers does now.

One thing that people on Boards will never learn, NFL games are never over until the clock hits 00:00.

Held on at the end.

Was that even a catchable ball in New Orleans?

You can't help but learn that fairly quickly as a Giants fan.

Redzone is absolutely epic. One pro to all of the 1pm ET kickoffs clashing with each other.

Knex*

The Saints D will never change, will it :pac:

thomond2006

If you're SD do you risk a long pass for the first down?

I just wish they'd space out the games a bit more between the early and late kickoffs. Most weeks we'll only get 3 late kickoffs.

Raiders/Saints is insane.

Jack Del Rio you ballsy, ballsy man.

BoJack Horseman

The size of Carrs big balls.

jack presley

I love that decision by the Raiders.

Paully D

George Bush, ****ing hell. :pac:

thomond2006

Wow Raiders. Wow.

That is the most ballsy play to go for 2.... Incredible.

TheDoctor

Serious stones on that call

Bateman

oh **** off, do me a favour with the celebrations penalty

That_Guy

Ballsy move. Get the 2 point conversion in a tight game. Flagged for celebrating.

Such a joke of a rule.

thomond2006

The taunting from the Raiders will help the Saints with their field position...

Edit: Nevermind! Great special team defense.

jack presley

When you think about it, it makes sense when you're on the road. 1 down to get 2 yards as opposed to a 50/50 chance in OT.

He celebrated like he won a hand of bingo. Zero signs of the context at show.

Del Rio would have been slaughtered of they hadn't gotten that

What an opening weekend so far. Cracking finishes.

JaMarcusHustle

Everyone raves over Lutz's leg but his career long is 53. Not sure about this!

Edit: Jaysus, he almost did it!

Knex*

Del Rio, gwan ya hero!

Now to shed tears watching the Giants.

Can you get a worthwhile completion out of bounds in under 5?

BoJack Horseman

Tough on the rookie.
Just faded at the end.

But fair play to the raiders.
He who dares etc.

You can in Madden if you pause the game and change the game speed

I would have suggested a hail mary, but having seen the distance he got on the kick, it was the right call.

And they say the first game of the season starts with optimism.

What a game.

Fair play Raiders.

So ballsy.

Speaking of Madden, Alex Smith just unleashed his inner Madden. Spin.

JaMarcusHustle

For those of us with Chargers +7, they don't kick a PAT if Chiefs score a TD here right? It just ends I think?

Edit: Chargers +7, not Chiefs.

We're not the only ones - Chiefs fans left in their droves apparently. Stadium half empty - they missed a classic comeback!

Whiplash85

Would they have went for 2 vs any other defence. Saints defence is dog****. bunch of girls.

JaMarcusHustle

Going to have a hard time telling these Cowboys/Giants and Lions/Colts games apart. Same uni combos.

That_Guy

This fúcking D-line. Not one can finish a tackle.

Daz24

Unbelievable by Oakland what a gamble but jeez what was Crabtree thinking with all that time left on the clock. Great day of football.

JaMarcusHustle

Stills you absolute muppet - won't get many chances like that.

TheDoctor

Stills you beauty!

Whiplash85

What a drop by Stills. would have been a home run

Paully D

Man, Prescott is taking to this like a duck to water.

Though it does help playing behind an amazing O-line.

Bateman

Dak is doing well here considering how highly regarded the Giants D is this year

Knex*

Giants still conceding 3rd downs like no tomorrow. Cowboys making every one.
