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!
McGloin 17/24 137 yards 1 TD
Bortles 15/29 86 yards

Raider injuries:
MJD 1 week
T. Brown IR season
Pittsburgh Injuries:
M. Pouncey (C) IR (33 weeks broken femur)
E Fuller (RE) 1 week
S Smith (LG) 1 week
T. Romo (QB) 2 weeks
A. Ogletree (DT) 2 weeks
Oakland has a big advantage with regards to injuries as DJ Hayden and Terik Lattimore come off the ijured list. The Steeler injury to Romo leaves (71ovr) Landry Jones as starting QB. RB Shane Vereen looks to hall the load of work for the Steelers and WR Antonio Brown is always a deep threat. Lawrence Timmons and Brandon Flowers anchor a stout D for the Steel curtain.
The Raiders have the statistical advantage on D and the home field. Let's hope that is enough.

It's how it should be as the two best teams from the :AFC: battle it out to earn a spot to the Super Bowl. This is anyone's game. The experts are divided on who will win this game. NE has home field advantage but their D has two major injuries.
It's go time! This brings back memories.... Raiders/Patriots... and it's snwonig hard!!!
Raiders start with the ball at their own 23. Raiders have a 16 play driver and get to the 3 but Browner makes a pass block even though he was not looking at the ball. Raiders settle for 3.
On NE's first play Brady is crushed by DT Still. Oh yeah the D is pumped!!! The Pats go 3 and out and it's Raider ball at the Oakland 32. The Raiders continue to move the ball and chew the clock as the first quarter ends 3-0 Oakland.
Today it's about ball control and not giving Brady time. The raider drive ends at mid field but the Pats are pinned to their own 1. They get close to midfield but the snow is just deadly today for the passing game.
Raiders start at the 20. The Raiders get to the 24 of NE but McGloin throws a pic at the 7. He didn't see the safety overtop. Pats start at their on 21 with 4:22 left in the half. NE moves the ball but again the snow kills the pass game and Oakland takes over at their own 14 with 1:57 left.
Oakland cannot move the ball and NE uses timeouts to stop ther clock. They get the ball back with 1:02 left and at their own 46. With 10 seconds left, Suisam goes for a 51 yard FG but he misses just short and the score hold 3-0 Oakland. With 1 second left Oakland goes for the hsil mary but with no luck.
Raiders dominated time in the 1st half but both sides have had no pass game (McGloin 7/17 81 Brady 8/15 66).
Pats start with the ball at their own 22. They storm down the field but CB Jenkins makes a phenomenal int at the Oakland 1. Wow!!! Bad news...WR Chaney gets crushed by Browner and he is gone for the game. Good news... on his 25 carry, Stevenson goes over 100 yards rushing. The drive ends with a 46 yard FG by Sturgis. That makes it 6-0 Oakland. That was another long drive going 18 plays. Posession and keeping the ball from Brady...
Raiders lost Chaney and the Pats then lose Matt Forte. The Pats go 3 and out and the 3rd is over as Oakland awaits the punt. Oakland starts thefourth at their own 46. This is huge! However a 3 and out is the result. The Pats start at their own 3.
Brady's down! Brady's down! Brady's down! Still takes him down and Garoppalo is in. Brady is done as he as a torn shoulder labrum.
The Raiders go 3 and out again and the Pats start at the 22 with 5:55 remaining. Pats get deep into Oakland territrory but cannot convert on 4th down and hand the ball over.
Raiders take over and convert. Pats burn all of their timeouts...
Raiders are going to the Super Bowl! Raiders are going to the Super Bowl! Raiders are going to the Super Bowl!

McGloin 15/30 128 yards 1 int.

Welcome to Super Bowl LI
:New_Orleans_Saints: @ :Oakland_Raiders:
Welcome to Arlington Texas. The crowd is pumped. The teams are ready. It's go time!
Oakland wins the coin toss and even though the strategy is to kick off, for some reason the Raiders recieve the ball... (oh Madden... :( Nonetheless, the Raiders start at their own 22 and put together an amazing 16 play, 9 minute drive that ends with RB Stevenson taking it in for a TD. That makes it 7-0 Oakland with 2:13 left in the 1st quarter.
NO starts at their own 20 but the drive only lasts two series. Oakland starts the 2nd quarter with the ball at their own 26. Another long drive of 12 plays and over 7 minutes ends with Stevenson's 2nd td of the afternoon. 14-0 Oakland!!!
The Saints next drive is anther short one and results in a punt. Why are the Saints depending on Demarco Murray rather than Drew Brees?
Raiders start at their own 34 with 1:50 left. Oakland sensning blood in the water goes into the 2 minute offense and with 14 seconds left McGloin hits WR Chaney for the touchdown.
The half ends with the score 21-0 Oakland. Oakland has dominated the entire game and it's not even close. Almost 20 minutes of ball control to 6 for NO. The game for the Saints has been ugly thus far! The injuries they have... they just cannot compete.
Saints do nothing on their first possession and the Raiders start at their own 45. However they go 3 and out but not before pinning the Sants to the 1. On the next play Kalil Mack gets a safety on Demrco Murray and it's 23-0 Oakland.
Oakland starts at their 30 and gets into NO territory but Stevenson fumbles at the Saint 39. However, the refs reverse the ruling on the field... which was wrong... it should be NO ball!!!
The Raiders get to the 6 of NO and McGloin gets rocked. Locker comes in to the game and two plays later hits TE Rivera for a 4 yard TD strike. 30-0 Oakland.
NO starts at the 28 and... continue to run Murray...??? Why??? However, the Saints begin to move the ball. Brees has only thrown six passes thus far???
The quarter ends with the Saints on the move. The Saints go for it on 4th and 4 and convert and get into scoring position. Brees then hits Graham for a TD strike. That makes it 30-7 Raiders with 9:26 left.
Raiders begin at their own 31. The drive goes nowhere and the Saints start at their own 5. Coltson gets rocked by Hayden and fumbles at the NO 24. McGloin then hits Lattimore in the back of the endzone for a TD. 37-7 Raiders! With 5:48 left this game is over.
Murray gets injured and now the Saints begin to throw the ball. Brees hits Graham for a TD and it's 37-14 Raiders with 4:38 left.
Saints go for the onside recover and they get it. However, a few plays later Branch comes over the top and makes a phenomenal int or else it would have been a TD. Raiders go 3 and out as now the NO D shows up.
Woth 3:25 left the Saints take over at their own 12. Murray comes back into the game and the drive ends with Brees hitting Crooks for a TD but the 2pt convert is no good.
The Saints go for another 2 point conversion but the Raiders recover. McGloin and Stevenson run the clock out amnd the game is over.
:New_Orleans_Saints: 20 :Oakland_Raiders: 37
Congratulations to the :Oakland_Raiders: winners of the 2016 :NFL::Lombardi_Trophy:
MVP honours go to RB Sherrod Stevenson with 24 carries for 89 yards and 2 TD. However, it should have went to McGloin with28/35 248 yards 2 TD.
