They were absolutely robbed. Had the game sealed with a first down and it was taken from them. 

I'm a Raiders fan and even I'll admit we got lucky with some calls. That first down being called back and Carr had a fumble in the 4th they didn't call either

Thought the Raider's pitch was awful. Taking field goals in the dirt from a baseball game and missing, probably because of that. Shambles. 

Although it's historic, the Oakland Coliseum sucks.  It was actually pretty common back in the day for NFL teams to share stadiums with baseball teams, but now it is a relic of the past. That is a big reason why the raiders are moving to Las Vegas. Their owner held the team hostage in order to try and get a new stadium paid for by the city, and when they refused, he decided to pick up and move to a city that would.

Which is the same thing his dad did moving the team from Oakland to LA and back to Oakland. I also found it funny that as soon as the Raiders announced they were leaving for Vegas, the city of Oakland announced a new stadium plan for the A's

Really enjoying watching the Rams this season. Goff is a very exciting QB, he’s got the best running back in the league and two good receivers in Cooks and Kupp. With Robert Woods thrown in there too. Wonder if the Chiefs will fade away again after another strong start?

Mahomes is the real deal. KC vs Pats is going to be an interesting game.

Yeah from what I’ve seen he’s the business. Simply cannot call any outright favourite for the bowl this year right now!

Aren't many cringier things than British American football fans in their jerseys singing English-style chants about their favourite team.

Yeah but what if they tried swapping the Kop with the family stand?

ok nah that was a huge anti climax and a stupid idea 

It wasn't a stupid idea at all. Overtime is a 50/50 proposition. In 2018 teams have been successful on approximately 60% of 2 point conversions. The maths was in favour of going for it and I admire them for having the courage of their conviction.

Teams have been successful at two-point conversions in the past about 50% of the time, but early in the 2018 season the success rate has shot up over 60%!
