FYI with the Raider loss Denver is back in the division title race and SD now moves into the last wildcard spot. The only good news... Cincy lost. NE clinched the AFC with another win.
FYI2: No movement thus far with a few other soon to be free agents.
TE Rivera
QB Locker
FB Reece
... all are being offered their exact requests but none have signed and apparently want more. At the end of the say Reece and Locker are expendable. However, Rivera is a necessity for this team. His numbers are down this ear but that is more of a Mike Smith issue. Next year the TE needs to get a lot more work in this offense. Kasa isn't a #1 and the draft doesn't appear loaded with TE's.
:Oakland_Raiders: announce that CB Tarrell Brown has been put on IR for the rest of the season. The injury to him and DJ Hayden has left the secndary depleated and action was needed. Moments later, the Raiders announced the signing of FA CB Charles Tillman.
Week 16: :Tennessee_Titans: (8-6) @ :Oakland_Raiders: (11-3)
This is a huge game in the :AFC: as division leaders meet. These are both top three D's so this shoud be a great game.
The game starts with great D and after a few snuffed drives the Raiders begin to move the ball. To start the 2nd, the Raiders are on the 3. On 3rd and 1, Reece punches it in for the TD and it's 7-0 Oakland, early in the 2nd.
A few plays later RE Verson crushes Phillip Rivers. Former Raider Terell Pryor comes into the game. The Titans settle for a 50 yard FG and that makes it 7-3 Oakland.
However, McGloin throws a pic six. I'm not even going to get into the physics issue.... madden is madden.... 10-7 Titans.
The Raiders then go down the field with precision and with 41 seconds left, Stevenson punches it in from the 1 to take the lead back 14-10. The score holds to the half. Raiders have dominated this game in possession but the pic six was a killer.
Titans go 3 and out and the Raiders start at their own 42. Raiders get to the 2 and again McGloin throws a pic. Such crap as Kerrigan was a good three feet out of the endzone and then somehow came back into the pay and made an int.
A few series later, McGloin hits Chaney in the endzone for a TD and the Raiders go up 21-10 with 2:22 left in the 3rd. A few plays later, safety Usama Young leaves the game with a bruised sternum.
The drive ends with a 28 yard Titan Fg to make the score 21-13 Raiders with 1110:31 remaining in the 4th. On his 26th carry, Stevenson breaks the 100 yard mark. However, the drive is a short one and Tennessee has the ball back. The Raider D destoys Pryor and just like that the drive ends.
Stevenson then takes the game on his back and runs down the field and the clock. Raiders win 21-13.
Pryor 8/12 81 yards
McGloin 21/31 221 yards 1 TD 2Int.
Sankey 11 carries 72 yards
Stevenson 36 carries 154 yards 1 TD
Ginn 3 rec 40 yards
Moore 4 rec 43 yards
Brinkley 9 tackles
Branch 6 tackles
Hands down, Stevenson was the star of the game. He was a workhorse and he shredded the #3 Titan D. Posession time was 33:01 for Oakland and only 14:59 for Tennessee.
The win is huge for Oakland as the Raiders clinch a playoff spot. Tennessee no has a fight on their hands with the Jags.
:Oakland_Raiders: are reporting that talks have broken down with FB Marcel Reece. The raiders offered Reece above his asking price but he still said no. Reece will test out free agency and the Raiders will most likely look to a younger and cheaper FB option.
:Oakland_Raiders: announce the 1 year contract extension of DT Sims.
What a last week of football...
:Oakland_Raiders: @ :Jax_Jaguars:
:Denver_Broncos: @ :NE_Patriots:
Jacksonville needs a win for a shot at the division. Oakland needs a win to guarnatee the division title. An Oakland loss and Denver win and Denver could still get the division. Plus, if the Raiders win and NE loses the Raiders could get the #1 seed.
Look at Stevenson since replacing MJD...
vs :Indianapolis_Colts: 28 carries 163 yards 1 TD
vs :Tennessee_Titans: 36 carries 154 yards 1 TD
This 1st round pick was drafted a few seasons back to replace MJD and McFadden. I think his time has come!
Look at dem carries!Quote:

Here we are. The last week of the season. This weeks game has huge reprocussions on the outcome of the :AFC::NFL_Playoffs: Will the Raiders clinch the division? the conference? Will the Jags make the playoffs? Will the Broncos make it to the show? The only way to answer some of those Q's is to take the field. It's go time!
It's a miserable day in Jacksonville! The rain is pouring and the stadium is full...
The raiders have a strong start to the game as they they a 3 and out on D then the O follows it up with absolutely nothing. The D's have shown up to play today.
The Jags next drive makes some noise but ends with a 49 yard FG miss. The Raiders respond with a 2nd 3 and out. 4 yards passing and six rush yards...
The Jags next drive sputters at midfield. Just like that it's the 2nd quarter. On the next drive the Raiders... go three and out. 27th ranked jacksonville D is looking good today...
Both teams share another short series. Halfway through the 2nd thgame is still scoreless. Late in the half, the Raiders put together a nice drive. With 33 seconds left, Stevenson takes it in from the 1 and that makes it 7-0 Oakland.
The half ends with the score Oakland 7 Jacksonville 0. This game has been awful and it's all abouty weather... drops, slips, oose balls, etc. On a negative, TE Rivera has a hip pointer and is gone for the game. Kasa will move into the starting lineup.
The 3rd starts with anoter set of 3 and outs for both teams. On Oakland's 3rd possession, Stevenson rumbles in from the 8 and that makes it 14-0 Oakland.
The 3rd comes to an end and so does the Jags next drive. The Raiders then fumble. McGloin is crushed on thelay and coughs it up deep in Oakland territory. The drive ends with a 40 yard FG 14-3 Oakland.
On the next Raider drive, Stevenson goes over 100 yards on his 20th carry. The drive ends with McGloin hitting Reece from 8 yards out and they take a commanding 21-3 lead ith 3:57 remaining. At the 1:08 mark the Jags turn it over on 4th and 1 and that's the game.
Raidrs win! Raiders win! Raiders win!
