The obvious solution is for the Raiders to boot their remaining 4 or 5 white players from the roster.

Ban the NFL now!

Players in the NFL have been throwing games for a long time. Washington is a good team this year though. Oakland should not have had their way with them.
This has been going on a long time.
I still enjoy that movie

DelRio is not going to put up with this.

True, but mathematicians can tell you the percent chance of something happening randomly. For example, the chances of flipping a coin heads five times in a row is only about 3%. So if you see that happen, you might have cause to wonder if the flip is fair.
I wonder if a mathematician could calculate the chance that the game’s outcome was within normal expectations.
For example, suppose a receiver usually drops one short pass in four. But that day he dropped three short passes in four. What are the chances that this was simple random variation, and not something deliberate? The mathematician would have to look at each play, then calculate an overall result.
That wouldn’t be easy to do. But it would be interesting.
I agree. It would be interesting. Unfortunately, it would involve much more research into the Oakland Raiders and NFL than I would care to give!
If you find something, please send it to me.

Just start a rumor that the Russians were involved. Then Robert Mueller will get right on it.
Or start a rumor that the Global Warming was involved. Then Al Gore will get right on it.
A lot of circumstantial evidence, though.
Ooooo. Here we have the significance of unity. Players leaving their teammates exposed on the field of play.
A house divided cannot stand.
Unity = Agree with me, or else.
Argument 1: Blog pimps want people to visit their blogs.
Counter: Content is content. FR for the most part, isn't original content (vanities excepted). And we get content from other news sources. What if the blog has better content than the MSM? There is a dilemma for you. How about Steven Crowder? He is essentially a glorified professional blogger that relies on traffic. His content is great.
Argument 2: But they get hits on the website.....
That doesn't take a penny out of my wallet or FR. But it does take pennies out of the MSM by less traffic.
There must be something I'm missing. Maybe a disclosure statement is needed in which bloggers would have to attach to the comment box?
But a setup? No, I don't believe it. The whole team played lousy, but Carr, the man they claim got thrown under the bus, played the worst, IMHO.
He threw late, into double coverage, and underthrew his receiver - and got picked, killing his team's drive. No one sacked or hurried him, protection was good.
Later, he repeated his mistake, throwing short, late, into double coverage, and was pick-sixed.
Can't blame the offensive line, it looked like they were doing their job better than Carr. And definitely better than their defense, which was swiss cheese.
You make excellent points and I see no answer given to you yet.

The Russians played a part in this to drive a wedge between the East Coast & the West Coast, and I’m standing behind that claim. 8>)
