Raiders fans must be torn right now

This must be the closest they've been in a while to confident they'll see a SB because everyone else sucks, yet they also know the team's leaving for Vegas and likely even announcing it before the game

Going to Vegas, while extremely lucrative, is going to be bad for the team in terms of home field advantage. Literally every home game is going to be stocked full of opposing team fans.

I'm amazed Dallas pulled that out, that was almost as ridiculous as the Steelers game. Minnesota's gonna be so drat dangerous next year if they stay healthy and AP holds off the 30-something running back wall another year.

Been in Vegas almost 14 years and yeah, there are a shitload of Raiders fans here. Unless their playing a nationally popular team like Dallas or one that's super close by like Denver the home town crowd will be solidly represented.

I suspect the combined effect of playing another game a week after the short week probably had a major impact, as did the "strength vs strength, weakness vs weakness" nature of the matchup

Seriously, take out Dallas' (or any teams) starting RB, LT, C, LG, RT, DT and both backup tackles and see how well they do. You know the crap players who play the fourth quarter of the fourth preseason games? That and Alex Boone are Minnesota's O-line now.

that is not a good thing upon which to be dependent

Besides, the Packers aren't going to take a Wild Card spot, we're too far back. We have to hope for a Detroit/Minnesota collapse and for the magic of the Mystery Tent to carry over into the next few weeks.

I find myself rooting against bad coaches this year more than anything. No matter what happens from here on out, if I get to see Jeff Fisher repeatedly dunked on for the rest of the year I'll be pretty happy, even though I have absolutely no reason to care about the Rams either way.

It's at the point where I even want the Seahakws to win by 50 points just so Fisher suffers.

It tells you how insulated owners are that Stan Kroenke doesn't realize or doesn't care that Jeff Fisher has turned the Rams into a punchline.

This. If you want to complain, bitch about the missed hands to the face on the conversion attempt. Now, that would have just given them an extra shot at 2, which considering how much the vikings struggled to get in the end zone all night was no sure thing.

There were bad reffing calls on both sides all night long, but that fumble was the right call.

If the Cowboys win against the Giants in the Meadowlands, they are officially a "good" team that can make the Super Bowl.

Also, if they win 2 games and the Giants lose any game, they clinch home field advantage in the playoffs.
