Hell maybe the Chargers defense had checked out because they thought Raiders were conceding and he needed to remind them that they needed a stop.
I just don't get where you're coming from here. I guess you know the play the Raiders originally called wasn't going to work and the play they switched to did?
I think upon reflection people realize the timeout was fine but still need to defend their initial outrage.

I think it was a dumb call, as a Raider fan I am happy they made a dumb call...the Raiders had about 15 chances to win this game with one play and blew every single one of them. They were more than willing to go for a tie by all accounts. Listening to Rich Bisaccia and Carr in the post gamers it certainly seems like the Raiders were thinking about a tie and thought the Chargers were thinking the same thing until the TO.
I have nothing to justify to anyone on CP, in my opinion its a poor call...not outraged I ####ing loved it.
and no I don't know what the original play would have done, I do know what happened right after the TO
