Haley has a lot to answer for as well. Getting pass happy up two scores with a rookie QB that leads to 2 easy TD's for the Raiders.

The officials are bad but I'm starting to see why Pittsburgh wasn't so upset to lose their OC.
Well, on the other hand he did see the error.of his ways and went back to the run. Also when was the last time they scored 42.

I agree that he gets pass happy when they've spent the time to invest in power football, did it against the saints too and it infuriated me. But the last 6 quarters they are moving the ball. But the reality.is they have to win the turnover margin and it will probably go better.

Oh, And the refs fucking suck donkey cocks.

So, earlier I was watching the ticker of an NFL game and saw that the Browns took possession of the ball with about 1:45 or so in the fourth, up 42-34, and saw that they keep moving the ball and getting a couple first downs. I think the last update I saw was when the Browns got a first down with around 1:20 or so left around midfield. I figured that since they had taken some down to get the first downs (I think I saw a 3rd and 3 before getting another first down), that the Raiders had used all their TOs. So what the fuck happened that the Raiders got the ball back with around a minute or so after then Browns had it first and ten at midfield with just over a minute left?
Refs happened. Hyde got a first down, we’re ready to take a knee. Replay booth goes for the Dusty Finish and does a phantom overturn to say he was short. Browns punt. More shit happens. The end.

NFL supports decision to overturn Browns' 1st down in fourth quarter

Although no angle offered a full view of the ball's location once Hyde was down, an NFL spokesman said the league pieced together two angles to clarify that Hyde's wrist and elbow hit the ground before the ball reached the 19.

"From the line feed, you can see the line to gain is just past the 19-yard line," the spokesman said. "One replay angle shows [Hyde's] wrist and the elbow hit the ground simultaneously. Then when you go back to the line feed, you see the wrist hit the ground and you know the elbow is down. At that point, you are able to clearly see that the ball is short of the line to gain."
