You know what? I looked at it again and the ball is closer than my hyperbolic suggestion.
I still will ride on the fact that the refs are at fault for not acting logically consistent. Every sentient mind on earth wants logical consistence in actions and behaviors. You painted 3 of 4 walls…why? You parked your car only HALF in the garage why? The zombies can’t walk in water till they suddenly can to drag a dragon corpse ashore why?
The refs at best had a “hey the games on the line, you can’t do that!” Response and that’s simply not what they’re paid to do. Either the rules matter all the time or none of the time. Suddenly deciding it’s important with sub 2 min in the game is at best suspect, and at worst legitimate game fixing; accidental or otherwise.

That did not come across the way you thought it did. Seems like you’re supporting the scientists that are speaking out against climate change.
Which you should but you’re clearly not very smart and trust feelings more than the years upon years of scientific research performed by professionals. So what can you do.

The cool thing about science is, no matter what you believe, it doesn't care :)

I love Derek Carr, but I think that he has not been able to thrive in the NFL due in large part to his circumstances. With his ever changing carousel of coaches. Now, I sure hope that he goes to a well deserved team, worthy of his credible arm strength, accuracy, and play judgment. he won’t ever be a Tom Brady, but I truly believe that he can win at least one Super Bowl.

No, it's not flopping. The Chiefs ran the same route when they had a player isolated on one side of the field several times in the game and Philly had no answer. Toney already scored a TD on the same play on the opposite side of the field. If Bradberry doesn't grab Juju, it's an easy touchdown. You can't even say it was uncatchable, because the hold happened first, and if he wasn't held, Mahomes throws a different pass.

Lol exactly. Carr has had a better career, but to start in 2023, I’m taking Geno 10 times out of 10.
DC is washed

Which is another reason why it’s a ticky tacky call. Machomes overthrew him by 25 yards. The ONLY purpose of the throw was to draw the call. Which is kind of like flopping in the NBA; rules are rules, but it’s complete bullshit to exaggerate it in your favor.
If you watch that same drive, Kelsey got mauled in a crossing route by the LB, and no one had eyes then.
Juju gets basically escorted at the end of the game and suddenly they call it?
If it had been called all game, it makes sense
If it wasn’t called and had NOT been called all game, it makes sense.
It wasn’t called all game then matters in under 2 min left? Everyone should call that what it is, competitively bankrupt.

Not sure why you’re getting downvotes, last year wasn’t even close. Overall I think Carr is better career wise no question, but he was mediocre at best in ‘22.
2022 Stats
Carr 22TD, 14INT, 0 Rushing TD, 60.8%, 86.3 Rating, 4 Fumbles
Smith 30TD, 11INT, 1 Rushing TD, 69.8%, 100.9 rating, 8 Fumbles

Can someone give a casual fan an explanation of went wrong with Carr and the raiders? I remember the hype around the team during his earlier years. I was hoping it panned out.

Outdoor winter sports are in real danger from climate change, so it's good to see athletes pushing these bodies to make stronger steps. These bodies, for their own survival, should be doing these things and using that leadership to push other industries to do the same.
That said: the sad reality is that the vast, vast majority of greenhouse gases are emitted in other ways, so the push needs to rapidly grow beyond winter sports themselves to join with broader climate efforts.

I was disappointed with the flag too but I don't think it was going to change the outcome. The touchdowns they did score were so demoralizing to a defense. I couldn't believe how wide open they got in the end zone on multiple occasions.

Damn so does that mean Devante about to sit out or demand a trade since Carr being QB was the reason he signed with Vegas in the first place?

Tell that to the Northeast USA and the Alps - one of the lowest snow winters either location has ever had. Meanwhile, the western USA has too much snow. This is all due to climate change.
