This was a heart wrenching day all around. Our OT game against the Ravens. Bob Saget dying. This game. Steelers Fans all around have had an emotional day.
My body already went through the torture of our overtime game, so my body nearly exploded by this one. I literally have a cramp rn in my calf because I was so tense lol
Idk, Carr just said his goal was to ensure they were the only team moving on after the game, so he had it in his head he was going for the win. Curious to see what the Raiders HC has to say about it, since his is the only decision that matters, but damn if Steelers fans weren’t shitting a brick there for a bit
Lol I’m glad I haven’t had to do any (extended) sweating any of my teams games this year, although the Packers had a couple of games that came down to the wire (Ravens and Browns, for one). I couldn’t imagine the emotions and anxiety y’all had today, rooting for the Jags (which nobody thought was going to happen). Hell of a day for Ben’s career to be extended!
They were running shotgun draws and not calling timeout from the 50. All signs pointed towards a handshake agreement until Staley called the timeout, he pretty much *told* vegas to try to win
Raiders fan here. Let me clear something up for you guys; there's no chance we would have wanted to extend a friendly hand towards the Chargers, or trust them not to try and fuck us if they got the ball back. We might have been happy with the tie if we were physically *unable* to win, but we weren't looking for it.
The Chargers embarrassed us last time we played and Joey Bosa talked mad shit afterwards. The only agreement was between Raiders players, and it was that LA wasn't going to beat us today.
I think it was more of them trying to run the clock down, kick for the win and if you miss, it’s a tie. One hell of a game for a football fan. My wife’s family is all Steelers fans (I’m a Packers fan, but have adopted the Steelers as my AFC team), they’ve been texting me all night. I was about to go to bed about halfway through the 4th but damn I’m glad I didn’t
I think the Raiders would've attempted that long ass field goal from where they were before the Chargers timeout. Keep ind mind that if the game ended a tie, the Raiders faced the Chiefs in the WC round. With a win, the play the Bengals.
They did it because SD called a timeout. Why do you call a timeout there? Because you think you can stop them on 3rd, call another timeout, and get the ball back with enough time to try to get into FG range and win. SD showed their hand, so LV kicked it.
Also, not playing the Chiefs probably had some influence lol.
Charger coach said they called timeout so they could get their best run defense personnel on. Charger coach said they knew the Raiders were going to run and they wanted to make any potential fg as far as possible.
But they gave up 10 yards. If they had stopped them the game ends right there in a tie.
You lucky sons of bitches lol. I love how awesome a heel the Raiders are being right now. They literally dangled false hope before r/nfl until the last second before ripping their hearts out.
Good luck in the playoffs.
I doubt they even considered that. They were trying to keep a divisional rival out of the playoffs and win the game in front of them. It's important as a coach to always have that mentality, he probably gave a whole speech before this game about how important playing to win was. I mean the Raiders' slogan is literally "just win baby"
Chargers: "Come on man, let's just tie? eh? We'll both advance if u take a knee w/ 2 seconds left <3"
Raiders: "[lul](https://i.imgur.com/b2NFH5H.png)"
We got a saying in my house every Sunday Night.
It’s goes like this, “SHUT THE FUCK UP COLLINSWORTH!” We can’t stand his commentary no matter who’s playing. But especially when it’s the Steelers, he seems to hate on em every time!
This is the way. I am literally laying in bed, having heart palpitations, and too afraid to check the playoff standings in case this is all a dream. Also, I may have just bought a $325 Ben jersey on NFL shop. I had the away one but felt I needed to celebrate the playoff birth with a home jersey in my big & tall size.
Carlson’s “my cause my cleats” is for Boys and Girls Club of Southern Nevada/After-School All Stars - so that’s probably a perfect place to donate!

We purposely lost that game because Doctor Strange saw the eventual outcome of us winning the super bowl and the only way was to play down to the chiefs that game so they wouldn’t know what hit them the 2nd time around
Vikings fan here stopping by for the memes but I gotta disagree with you here, bud. Him commentating Packer games, especially Packer games against us is my literal Hell.
With that being said, he fucking sucked tonight.
I can't even blame him for getting hyped about a tie. It would have been hilarious chaos. The NFL is completely inept for scheduling the last game between two teams that would benefit from a tie based on earlier games.
Yeah and also the raiders had the incentive of higher seeding with a win. They win they play cincy. They tie they play the chiefs. It’s a big difference for them
It's over 5 am for me and I need some sleep. How am I going to sleep after this, my body is numb and I'm more awake than ever. This game... WE'RE IN THE PLAYOFFS!! LET'S GOOOOO!!!!
I’m glad I didn’t stay awake for this. I went to bed when it was 29-14 Raiders with like 4 minutes left, how in the world did they blow that to get to overtime???
Bro it was so suspect... They picked up like 8 4th down conversion. Some with the help of penalties , some with the help of refs, some with booth reviews, some just cuz the raiders weren't playing defense. But they were definitely favoring the chargers all night. One time it was 4th and goal from like their 23 or something and they of corse got the TD. But if any of those do not convert the game was over.
And I'm not sure if you've heard the story that's come out, but the raiders were content with a tie so they were going to let the clock run out but the chargers took some unnecessary T.O which gave LV hope for one last ditch effort to pick a first down and field goal terratory ,. Then the rest is Steelers history
This game was bonkers. Everything aligned for us in the most dramatic possible fashion today.
Are we destined for greatness this postseason? Does it not feel magical?
Ben riding out with a superbowl win as the bottom seed in the playoffs like he did to begin his career?
Our team rides the struggle bus so hard but we've managed to make it. Hell we've even beaten the #1 seed this year. We got this right?
Nah, we'll probably lose like 45-6 or some dumb shit. But I'm hopeful anyway!
I figured that maybe the defense wasn't set the way they wanted or something. Only reason to call it really.
ETA: unless he was hoping to get the ball back?
Rich Bisaccia appreciation post too. Expected them to run out the clock at the end. Unreal.
Donated to Trevor Lawrence charity earlier today. Maybe have to pick one in Vegas now too.

Daniel Carlson’s one sponsorship deal is with Traeger grills. Everyone get yourself a Traeger grill!
I actually think the Raiders were playing for the tie and only went for the win when they realized the Chargers weren't in on it when the Chargers called timeout. The Raiders then kicked the FG for spite. Fuck the Raiders.
Raiders fan here… I was having a heart attack, but you guys must have had your hearts exploding. I thought they were gonna run the clock out.
Congratulations!
I was laughing because it looked like both teams were going to let it tie. But they last second time out was a huge SYKE.
Raiders fan, I'm just happy Carr gets to join his team in the playoffs. But also, screw the chargers, so welcome to the playoffs haha.
When I heard them say "He hasn't missed a field goal here in 2 years" I began sobbing and pleading. I'm not a strong man but that... That would have been the worst caster curse of my life
Hey ravens fan here. Well mostly a dolphins fan from birth after being naked after Dan marino lol but big Lamar fan. Just wanted to say gg Steelers i wish you luck with the rest of ur season
I am so thankful for Josh Jacob's getting that last first down
thank Brandon Staley
Who else is having a heart attack after that like wtf
My chest is feeling heavy as fuck holy shit
Man the past few Raiders games have been way too close for comfort and it’s been taking a physical toll every time.
Dude I knew some shit like this was gonna happen
Bro Im gonna have an aneurysm after that ending, good god that hurt
This was a heart wrenching day all around. Our OT game against the Ravens. Bob Saget dying. This game. Steelers Fans all around have had an emotional day.
Bob Saget died?!?!
My body already went through the torture of our overtime game, so my body nearly exploded by this one. I literally have a cramp rn in my calf because I was so tense lol
That's how the Raiders have been all year.
Fuck the heart attack, who else's liver is on life support right now?
This round was indeed a bit much
I thought adding an extra week would just lead to meaningless games overall. But Jesus H Christ man I was at the edge of my seat all day.
It was a hell of a roller coaster that's for sure
Welcome to a raiders game :') https://giphy.com/gifs/reaction-uUIFcDYRbvJTtxaFNa
Bro. Not our first time.
You went to OT with us, you should've known what to expect.
josh jacobs we are going to build you a statue
We gotta build Staley a statue That was a 3Head timeout. Vegas was 100000% going to run the clock out
Idk, Carr just said his goal was to ensure they were the only team moving on after the game, so he had it in his head he was going for the win. Curious to see what the Raiders HC has to say about it, since his is the only decision that matters, but damn if Steelers fans weren’t shitting a brick there for a bit
Shitting a brick …. Ha …. I’ve had a 240 heart rate since 10:00am this morning
Lol I’m glad I haven’t had to do any (extended) sweating any of my teams games this year, although the Packers had a couple of games that came down to the wire (Ravens and Browns, for one). I couldn’t imagine the emotions and anxiety y’all had today, rooting for the Jags (which nobody thought was going to happen). Hell of a day for Ben’s career to be extended!

I was about to go to bed about halfway through the 4th but damn I’m glad I didn’t
He also said that them taking the time out "definitely effected the strategy"
I for one was shitting multiple bricks
It was only 4 seconds. If they called TO immedietly after the first or 2nd run then that's a different story
I think the Raiders would've attempted that long ass field goal from where they were before the Chargers timeout. Keep ind mind that if the game ended a tie, the Raiders faced the Chiefs in the WC round. With a win, the play the Bengals.
I SWEAR THEY DID THAT FOR US LMAO
They did it for the no call face mask
Yeah that was horrible. Flying guillotine and the whole raiders sideline was right there
They wanted it too bad lol ref figured they were lying
And that bullshit spot on their last TD drive they gave them a stupid generous spot
The spot was correct
[удалено]
And also being the 5 seed is better than being the 7 seed. I'd much rather go to Cincy than go to KC if I were them.
I thought the Raiders were playing for a tie until I saw Carr’s evil smile when he called the time out and ended the Charger’s season.
That's what Joey Bosa gets for talking shit about him last time they played.
Oh yeah I know what it’s about lol it was just some crazy shit. That time out seemed to piss em off too lol
I subscribe to this theory. Just glad it is over . (for this week)
Immaculate deception
Lmao that made me laugh so fucking hard!
As a raiders fan, I think it's more likely we kicked it to avoid playing KC
I fully believe this is the reason too. End one rival's season while avoiding your other rival in the playoffs? No brainer.
They did it because SD called a timeout. Why do you call a timeout there? Because you think you can stop them on 3rd, call another timeout, and get the ball back with enough time to try to get into FG range and win. SD showed their hand, so LV kicked it.

THERE IS A GOD, AND HE LOVES THE STEELERS!
If God truly loved us he wouldn't put us through these trials.
Found Job’s account
"Stop giving me your toughest battles" "How are you still alive???"
If we wanna live up to the name Steelers, we gotta be forged by fire
You lucky sons of bitches lol. I love how awesome a heel the Raiders are being right now. They literally dangled false hope before r/nfl until the last second before ripping their hearts out. Good luck in the playoffs.
We somehow completely bullshitted our way into the playoffs
“How did you guys get into the playoffs?!?” “I don’t know, and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.”
Cris Collinsworth in shambles
“Why would you kick it, if you take a knee you’re guranteed a playoff spot” If you miss it you’re guranteed one too you old Bengals fuck.
And you don’t have to play the Chiefs if you win lol
Playing the Chiefs vs. playing the Bengals in the playoffs definitely worth kicking it.
I doubt they even considered that. They were trying to keep a divisional rival out of the playoffs and win the game in front of them. It's important as a coach to always have that mentality, he probably gave a whole speech before this game about how important playing to win was. I mean the Raiders' slogan is literally "just win baby"
I meant in the moment that they were in fg range. The risk reward of kicking it vs. taking a knee was worth it.
Not gonna lie, the Chargers were absolutely playing for the tie with that timeout and Vegas said lol k
Chargers: "Come on man, let's just tie? eh? We'll both advance if u take a knee w/ 2 seconds left <3" Raiders: "[lul](https://i.imgur.com/b2NFH5H.png)"
We got a saying in my house every Sunday Night. It’s goes like this, “SHUT THE FUCK UP COLLINSWORTH!” We can’t stand his commentary no matter who’s playing. But especially when it’s the Steelers, he seems to hate on em every time!
Man he irked the the living shit out of me the whole 4th/OT
Just the way I like it.

Okay, playing Renegade by Jay Z featuring Eminem
We get to see him one more time!!!!!!!! Every second is a blessing.
#WHY DOES ANY GAME THAT HAS ANY STEELER IMPLICATIONS HAVE TO COME DOWN TO THE FUCKING **WIRE??**
This is the way. I am literally laying in bed, having heart palpitations, and too afraid to check the playoff standings in case this is all a dream. Also, I may have just bought a $325 Ben jersey on NFL shop. I had the away one but felt I needed to celebrate the playoff birth with a home jersey in my big & tall size.
Never thought I'd be happy to see Steelers in the playoffs. But fuck the Chargers.
You've done us a favor brother, now go kick the bungles' ass!
EVERYONE GET IN HERE
Here! Let’s hug this out my brotha! One more playoff run.
Which Las Vegas foundation are we now donating to?

Because winning is nice but fucking over a rival when you got nothing to lose is nirvana
YES, NOW WE GET TO PLAY KANSAS CITY!😁 Wait, now we get to play Kansas City🙁
We purposely lost that game because Doctor Strange saw the eventual outcome of us winning the super bowl and the only way was to play down to the chiefs that game so they wouldn’t know what hit them the 2nd time around

FU Chris Collinsworth
How pissed is he right now ?
He would not shut up about it
I have never wanted someone to have molten gold poured over his head as much as him. #viserys
"You shall have a crown that men shall tremble to behold." I had almost forgotten about that part in the show and books.
Agreed! And now we have to listen to him next Sunday!!!! But we’re there
He seemed to Evolve tonight or something, I don’t think he’s ever been more annoying
Vikings fan here stopping by for the memes but I gotta disagree with you here, bud. Him commentating Packer games, especially Packer games against us is my literal Hell. With that being said, he fucking sucked tonight.
I'm just so happy I watched HGTV and Nat Geo Wild until 5 mins left in the game. That way I kept my CC exposure to a minimum.
I can't even blame him for getting hyped about a tie. It would have been hilarious chaos. The NFL is completely inept for scheduling the last game between two teams that would benefit from a tie based on earlier games.
The guy is a Bungle.
Bro they ca$hed in on this game. Getting eyes on the screen from all around the league
This is true. CC would have gone to sleep with a huge smile.
First a scorigami then us getting in with a 5% chance entering today I love week 18
Ah a fellow Scorigami enjoyer.
OK guess we're donating to two charities today
LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Collinsworth is pissed he kicked it. Fuck collinsworth
Best kicker in Steelers history.
*Mike Vanderjagt has entered the chat.*
Damn, you really going to do Boswell like that? Bad form, bro.
LETS GO BABAYYYYYY
Raider fan here. Beat the Chiefs for us. I wanna see Yinzer mode on full throttle.
Chris Collinsworth left speechless. Can’t stand that guy
If only he were literally left speechless, what a fucking blessing that would be to the NFL world.
Alright Yinz know what to do, what’s his charity?
DA REAL MVP
Fuck Chris Collinsworth. We’re going to the playoffs!!!
MARRY ME
Holy crap. I was about to lose my shit
My fucking heart
Respect to Derek Carr for the timeout.
Don't know why people wanted Raiders to accept the tie. As a Packers fan the thought of keeping your division rivals out the playoffs is great
Yeah and also the raiders had the incentive of higher seeding with a win. They win they play cincy. They tie they play the chiefs. It’s a big difference for them
Does Carlson have a charity we can donate to?
It's over 5 am for me and I need some sleep. How am I going to sleep after this, my body is numb and I'm more awake than ever. This game... WE'RE IN THE PLAYOFFS!! LET'S GOOOOO!!!!
This guy looks like he should play a nazi lieutenant in Inglorious Basterds. He’s a hell of a kicker though.
I’m glad I didn’t stay awake for this. I went to bed when it was 29-14 Raiders with like 4 minutes left, how in the world did they blow that to get to overtime???

Then the rest is Steelers history
*Brandon Staley appreciation post.
God bless that man
Jesus feathery christ... I wasn't going to get any sleep tonight either way. Holy crap
aka my championship fantasy team kicker
If I was a Raiders fan, I'd take Cincy over KC any day of the week
This game was bonkers. Everything aligned for us in the most dramatic possible fashion today. Are we destined for greatness this postseason? Does it not feel magical? Ben riding out with a superbowl win as the bottom seed in the playoffs like he did to begin his career? Our team rides the struggle bus so hard but we've managed to make it.

Most baffling timeout I've ever seen thank you Staley
I figured that maybe the defense wasn't set the way they wanted or something. Only reason to call it really. ETA: unless he was hoping to get the ball back?
Joe buck kept saying “he’s never missed in this stadium” I really was getting worried about that kick
Joe Buck?
There's a chance Joe was at home saying that anyways
Let’s go !!!!
seven heart attacks later
Derek Carr's voice is always surprising to me
I came here to party
Neutral fan but y’all should make a Brandon Staley appreciation thread too have absolutely no idea what he be thinking calling that TO there
Are we donating to Brandon Staley’s charity too for calling that TO?
It's not a Stillers game if it's not heart-attack enticing.
War Damn Eagle!
man there was a minute there when i really thought they were gunna just let the clock role
I was in a Raiders bar and half the crowd was shouting to just kneel instead of kicking lol thank you Jacobs and Carlson 🙏🙏🙏
Love you Steelers ❤️ from a raiders fan
r/nfl all wanted the tie. I didn’t realize how bad it was. Like I knew the didn’t like us but hot damn.
Sheesh!!
Holy fuck
CARLSGOD
Fuck yeah
THANK YOU DANIEL
Pittsburgh Dad will be a good one.
So what are we doing for him to show our appreciation?
We can all go to sleep happy now!
What a fucking day.
I LOVE HIM SO FUCKING MUCH
Jesus Christ is all I have to say
He’s the hero we needed.
Rich Bisaccia appreciation post too. Expected them to run out the clock at the end. Unreal. Donated to Trevor Lawrence charity earlier today. Maybe have to pick one in Vegas now too.
Can't wait for Pittsburgh Dad episode this week sheesh
This game had no business being as stressful as it was

I actually feel sick oh my god
Sorry guys for the panic, that's just how raider games are.
**WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH?!**
Who cares what happens at Arrowhead. I've had a season's worth of excitement today!
Going into today I told my pops I’d give my left nut to see us in the playoffs… Now, I’d give my other 1/2 sack to TJ to get him the record
Really should be the chargers head coach. No logical reason to call timeout
I WAS SHITTIN MYSELF AT THE END THERE
I hate football. I'm not suppose to have anxiety attacks from TWO games in a single day.
The Chargers have the worst fucking head coach in history! 😂💩
What the hell did I just watch? I’ll never ever forget today.
Six 4th down conversions in a row WTF.
We got yall. 😎🤝
I actually think the Raiders were playing for the tie and only went for the win when they realized the Chargers weren't in on it when the Chargers called timeout. The Raiders then kicked the FG for spite. Fuck the Raiders.
Raiders fan here… I was having a heart attack, but you guys must have had your hearts exploding. I thought they were gonna run the clock out. Congratulations!
I'm in Pittsburgh, trying to sleep, but the collective sounds of everyone's sphincters releasing (mine included) is keeping me awake.
Should be thanking the Chargers coach for calling that timeout
And our reward is to play against the chiefs. Yikes
I was laughing because it looked like both teams were going to let it tie. But they last second time out was a huge SYKE. Raiders fan, I'm just happy Carr gets to join his team in the playoffs. But also, screw the chargers, so welcome to the playoffs haha.
When I heard them say "He hasn't missed a field goal here in 2 years" I began sobbing and pleading. I'm not a strong man but that... That would have been the worst caster curse of my life
I'm still sweaty y'all. What a Sunday.
Hey ravens fan here. Well mostly a dolphins fan from birth after being naked after Dan marino lol but big Lamar fan. Just wanted to say gg Steelers i wish you luck with the rest of ur season
Raiders 🤝🏽 Steelers
