Raiders are gonna "rebuild" and go 4-13 next season, aren't they? Back to normal. Awesome.

Washington gave this game away. Terrible coaching cost them today. Can't have that type of start to a game and expect to win. Should have been a W and a close NFC East race, but this botched game nearly guarantees Dallas the division.

Okay, and not that I don't disagree with that because I totally don't. It's just I don't think there was enough time for two more possessions for Carolina all told, and a missed two-point conversion later would've still ultimately become a loss. That was my only sentiment.

It's a tougher conversation when you ask yourself down by 9-11 points whether you should kick the field goal "now" instead of later and try to take time going for a touchdown. I don't think this game's situation had as much tangible impact.

The best part is that they wasted a timeout. 2nd game in a row they've wasted a timeout because they can't decide what they want to do on a pivotal play.

It's obvious Rhule is so far over his head as an NFL head coach. I don't know if he'll get a 3rd season to figure it out.

44 Year Old Tom Brady juked Efe Obada out of his shoes and converted a 3rd down. I know we're gonna lose, but can we at least not be an embarrassment?

I also tend to go against conventional thinking with two point conversions and always want to wait until as late as possible to start going for two because you never know what could happen when the other team gets possession.

Three drives resulting in 17 points by Tampa Bay. I hope at some point the defense intends on making the Buccaneers punt.
