The Official Game Day Thread, At Least One Raider Gets His Ring, The College Championship Game

[Attyla]

Time to relax and enjoy one last look at the future.

[Raidernation1979]

Really, how?

Completely missed targeting. Maimed the receivers. Finally call a roughing to save Beck’s ass on the final drive. Miami has more individual talent no doubt but they aren’t a better team.

Carr would have fumbled it out the end zone. Last time I ever bring Carr up. Onward and upward.

I was thinking Carr would have fumbled 3 times on that run.

[Goodtimes333]

Them Miami corners was doing everything but tackle the receivers mid route

[BakoR8R]

Didn't say better team. Like I said they were supposed to get beaten badly. Pi calls on Miami early, let them actually play later in the game. Doink FG and blocked punt for a TD, Miami lost the game. JMO, we can disagree, I'm glad for Indiana and Mendoza, definitely deserves it from the whole playoff picture. Miami dropped the ball tonight

[Ordos]

Mendoza throwing an F-bomb on TV. He is a Raider.

Note to that, postgame interview asked him about it, and he essentially said his "media training slipped."

Oddly made me appreciate him more, knowing he's got the personality to have it, yet the discipline to (mostly) run with the media training.

And the roughing call on last drive did not have an outcome on the game. And that's called all day everyday.

Hopefully the kid will eventually rewrite the Raiders career passing records so somebody's seed is wiped from the Nation forever.

I am getting ahead of myself but tonights game warranted a three fingers of Johnie Walker.

I don't think Carr would even attempt that run, just chuck the ball out of the endzone. Live to play another down....

Miami is stout. The ACC is back on the map while the SEC is falling into the dust bin of history.

oh please, that's a bit dramatic. the SEC will be fine.

Only if it was 4th down with the game on the line

[Reno Hightower]

The last three Natty's would say otherwise. Better get used to it.

[DanKD]

Interesting that Mendoza's live TV curse is also a saying Tom Brady is especially known for. LFG

[Curay7680]

His arm won't ever be mistaken for Jeff George's arm that's for sure

The way he approaches the game his arm strength will improve for sure and it's more than adequate now.

[Reno Hightower]

A QB's arm strength is the most hackneyed metric in football. Mendoza has plenty of arm. Tired of the million dollar arms and 10 cent heads.
