Absolutely the Refs just gave Dallas a win on what should have been a non-call on a TD play. Both teams seasons have just been decided by the Refs. And wrongly. There should be redress on such obvious mistakes.

There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

Pittsburgh just lost to the Raiders. That's three straight to three straight AFC West teams.
Pittsburgh is falling apart. They are only a half game behind Baltimore. Baltimore is rock solid and lost a close game to Kansas City. Based on their remaining schedules, I think Baltimore will finish 9-7 and the Steelers will end up 8-7-1.
AFC 6th seed
Baltimore 7-6
Tennessee 7-6
Indianapolis 7-6
Miami 7-6
Dallas has won the NFC East.

In the race for the #1 draft pick...
Oakland and San Francisco won today. That leaves them, as well as Arizona, all at 3-10. Two of Arizona's 3 wins are against the 49ers, and Oakland beat Arizona, but lost to the 49ers.
San Francisco has the Rams, Seahawks, and Bears left to face off against.
Arizona plays Atlanta on the road next week, hosts the Rams, and finishes in Seattle.
Oakland has the Bengals, Broncos (in what may be the final game in Oakland), and Chiefs, the former two games being potentially winnable for them.
As the strength of schedule plays out right now, the tiebreakers go #1 to the 49ers, #2 to Arizona, and #3 to Oakland, assuming they all finish 3-13. None of those three teams are in the market for a QB, and could trade down. That's unlikely for Oakland, who already are sitting on three 1st round picks this year, and are likely to just take the best non-QB player available.

Possibly the best mid-season trade that will go down as one of the best made....Dallas shipping a 1st rd pick to Oakland for Amari Cooper. Today Cooper really exploded with 10 catches for 217 yards and 3 TD's in the win they had. This could propel Dallas to win the division and Cooper is showing how stupid Jon Gruden continues to be.
Tonight Jared Goff and Mitchell Tribusky are battling to see who throws more Ints. Both QB's have combined for 6 (3 apiece).

Back a couple months ago we were discussing that "Next Jim Brown" type and well Al Michaels tonight may have detailed who that is. Its Todd Gurley as he could become the 3rd player to lead the league 2 years straight in all-purpose yards and TD's . Joining Don Hutson and ....Jim Brown as the only players to do that feat. Last year Gurley had 2,000+ all purpose yards rushing and receiving and 19 TD's. This year he's already near 1400 yards and has 19 TD's again all-purpose yards heading into tonights game.

Welp, looks like there will be a new Super Bowl champion in 2019 as the Eagles are officially cooked. At 6-8 and two games behind Dallas in NFC Least, the division is lost and the chances of landing a wild card are on are on life support, and I expect the Rams to pull the plug when the Birds face them this coming Sunday. There's always next season.

Eagles' Malcolm Jenkins: Replay official 'should stay off the bottle' on fumbled kickoff
Look for Jenkins to get a call from the Commissioner's office asking him to open his checkbook. No way he doesn't get fined for what he said, even if he WAS right about that being a bad call.

BREAKING: Raiders Fire GM Reggie McKenzie
Can't say this came as any great surprise. McKenzie's days in Oakland were numbered the day Chucky returned and promptly traded star players like Mack and Cooper. No matter, I don't McKenzie will be unemployed for long.

McKenzie was leaving at the end of the season anyhow by all reports. He was not gonna stick around and the Raiders realized this and comically did this "firing" to try and impact his being hired elsewhere. Which if anyone is smart will realize McKenzie drafted 2 huge stars and had a team within a grasp of a Super Bowl run. He'll be hired as a GM somewhere.
The Raiders stupid petty move shouldn't impact him at all.

Really this is not true outside of the 2016 year, which was followed by a 6-10 year. The Raiders had talent but not cohesion and the talent positions were uneven. Reggie never quite put together a cohesive team that had a hope of making a real run. They weren't even moving the right direction, and had tons of continual holes. Especially on defense. But also with their O-Line, running game and play calling.
Reggie was 39-70 career there and in the one and only playoff game they got to, they all looked like a bunch of no-talent puds against a clearly inferior team led by none other than Brock Osweiler. Doh! Take away the 2016 season and you see who they really are and have been under Reggie's command. During most of their seasons, they were one step away from firing off cannons for field goals.
I hope he finds a job, he probably will. But I'm not so sure what he's going to put on his resume - maybe something like "I tried really hard!"
