Asomugha’s injury not believed to be serious | ProFootballTalk

Norcaleagles:

First of all, the game against San Diego was during the regular season, not a playoff game.

Secondly, you apparently have not watched many Raiders games or you would feel differently. We were screwed out of a repeat Super Bowl performance while playing against Denver in 1977, when Rob Lytle fumbled the ball as soon as he hit our line. We recovered and ran it back for what would have been the winning TD. The only thing is that the refs never saw him fumble and ruled him down. Add in the Immaculate Deception, the Tuck Bowl and the Tony Siragusa body slam of Rich Gannon that was even flagged although it broke Gannon’s collarbone and Raider fans begin to believe that the NFL refs are against them. Add in a few more strange calls over the years, including the game against San Diego in which a Charger receiver catches the ball, falls to the ground and isn’t touched but gets up and spins the ball. Oakland recovers but it is ruled an illegal forward pass. Or the game against Seattle when our safety intercepted the ball at the 3 yard line but slides into the endzone and is touched by a Seattle player. Not only isn’t the play ruled a touchback, but Seattle gets two points for a safety and the Raiders have to punt the ball back to Seattle

10 Rule Changes the NFL Should Implement Immediately

Sometimes, they're for the better, but usually they end up with the majority of fans whining about how Commissioner Goddell and the NFL brass is taking the fun out of the league.

Meanwhile, there are rules that should be implemented that never seem to be. With this thought in mind, I tried to come up with 10 rules that either need to be changed or put back to the way they were. However, just because I'm tired of talking about it a decade later, the dead horse that is the tuck rule will not be making an appearance.

50 Most Fantastic Finishes in NFL History

history...that sounds like a good way to start a bar fight, but it is part of our fan DNA.

Over the last 80 years, we have been blessed with matchups on the football field that have transcended sport. They are iconic moments of American history and true "where were you when..." moments. Many of those moments came when it mattered most, when the game was on the line.

30 Teams Fans Love to Hate

While fans around the sports world ubiquitously hate their respective team's most heated rival, there are some teams that tower above the rest and garner sometimes-superfluous hate from even the most casual fans.

Often powerhouses, these teams are despised and targeted constantly. But don't feel bad, as they can handle things on their own.
