Rivera presser . . .

Again,.. Im happy it ended the way it did, otherwise today there would be no "Panthers win" narratives-- Philly fans would be crying everywhere that the NFL hates them and is going all Hurricane Katrina gifts to Eric Reid to get a lawsuit dropped or something.

The way it ended was the best.  We won twice as Rivera said-- no questions, no narrative other than the Panthers kicked your motherforking asses in the 4th quarter.

It's absurd the number of calls that have went against us based on not being able to overturn the call on the field (Cotchery, etc.) and then we finally have a call go our way (and there was absolutely no overwhelming visual evidence to overturn that call) and the refs change the call.

It's frankly BS, and I hope Tepper is letting the league have it behind the scenes.

Good for Ron for calling them out, too

No way that INT should have been overturned.

It look them like 4 minutes to actually make a decision...therefore, it isn't conclusive and by rule the call on the field should have stood.

Exactly. From the video evidence supplied, I thought it was fairly obvious that the ball was secure between his hand and leg.

    • Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
    • Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.
    • In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
