The Long Raider TD pass

If it would have been any other QB other than Russell on the other end of that laser the Poz would have picked it off or at the very least knocked it down. That thing got there in a hurry.

Big time speed, man that pass had eyes.

Re: The Long Raider TD pass

I know they scored, but I like that Poz gambled and tried to make a big play.

A long, drawn out drive would have killed us. That score happening so fast actually was one of the best things that could have happened in that situation.

Re: The Long Raider TD pass

They shouldn't have allowed it to happen, but sometimes you get caught with you pants down when you prematurely show you blitz. Its a chance you take. At least they didn't take a back seat and let the Raiders have everything underneath, like the Raiders D did for us late in the 4th qrtr.

I love that Whitner tackled him even after he scored. Don't jog into the end zone in our house.

Re: The Long Raider TD pass

Actually, the way I saw it, I wondered what a DiGorgio would have been able to do with that, a la his Dallas INT.

It was just a perfectly executed play.

Gotta tip your hat to the Raiders on that one.. but Simpson didnt leave himself a good angle to Higgins after the catch.

Yes, that was pretty bad. he should have at the very least tackled him after the catch. Poz was playing that way thinking he had help over the top.

Whitner traveled the whole length of the field just to send that little message instead of just giving up on it. You have to love that, true signs of a leader in the making.

That was awesome. I thought people around the NFL would react negatively to it, but I heard Deion Sanders saying Higgins shouldn't be doing that, so he thought what Whitner did was deserving.

yep.

I would have definitely shook his hand as he came off the field, while telling him quietly i had to rip him in front of the team. but that i thought he did the right thing.

then ripped him in the locker room

Re: The Long Raider TD pass

Since I was going to get 15 I would have done more than tackle him.

I completely disagree.

Trent Edwards would have thrown that ball perfectly. As a matter of fact, he probably would have thrown a 95 yard TD on that play instead of 85 yards.
