Monday mornings are always better after a Raiders win. I am going to enjoy the 2-0 start.

That 3 could have been the difference. When it was 20-14 in the 4th... that 3 would have looked a lot better than. Always kick the points if it gives you a lead. Teams looking nice, line took a step back, but overall team looking up.
Naw, I love the aggression. Great coaching by Kubiak. The Chargers played the run great all game, you have to give them credit. The Chargers didn't do anything backed up at their own goal line so the Raiders lost nothing by going for it. If we take 3, who knows what the Chargers do with a full field.

Always take the points that give you the lead, imo it's a simple concept that anything else is over thinking it.

Love the idea of aggressiveness but in this case it gave us back a zero and that 3 could have mattered.

The Raiders were the master at taking 3 for the last 2 decades, Jano is on the all time scoring list for that reason. That's what bad teams do, settle for 3. Good teams take 7.

If the Raiders want to be a contender, you have to take 7 at the goal line. When the Raiders went 12-4, JDR would take gambles like that (and win) all the time.

Kubiak made the right call, just score next time.

I think going for it on 4th down was the right call there. If you get it, you get 7. If you don't, they're pinned deep.

I don't mind going for it, but the play was ass.

Me too. If I’m going Wildcat though I’d just bring on another big body and take Cousins out.
