I've said my prayers, crossed my fingers, done a couple of mojo's. Im ready!

GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mag!

I was pretty much neutral (if that's possible for a Raider hater). Your photo has done the trick for me. The last straw you might say (even though I really like Rich Gannon and my partner's sister is a Raider cheer leader). . . . . . Go BUCS!!!

I sincerely hope that Al Davis will keep his team in Oakland (that City's reputation and the reputation of his team just seem so well suited for each other), despite his on-going legal battle (yup, that's right) to get back to L.A., and go to his grave without ever winning another Super Bowl!!!!

Besides which, I want to see Warren Sapp get his 8 carrot diamond for free (a jewelry store in San Diego for the past 4 days has been running an advertisement that any jewelry purchased during this time will be FREE should the Raiders score 0 points in the game). Sapp supposedly saw the ad, went to the store, and purchased an 8 carrot diamond. Talk about motivation!!

The RAIDERS are going to win it ... not a single doubt in my mind. They want this too badly, and it's been a long time coming ...

... don't get me wrong. The Buc's are a powerful force, and they have proved themselves worthy ...

... but the RAIDER'S have just a little more going for them right now!

Mag, last year Joe (tailgater) was banging the victory drum for several weeks before the Super Bowl, confident and backing the team..........Patriots! Much in the same manner you have done, I will only wish you well today, even though I cannot pull for an Al Davis production to win anything!

Hey two Chiefs selected for Hall of Fame today.. Hank Stram, long overdue recognition! Marcus Allen, Raider and Chief....thanks Al Davis for resting him on the bench for three seasons before he came to KC!!! One of Al's more stupid and spiteful moves!

Mag, enjoy yourself today!

I have always been a realist...and a life long Raider
fan. The Bucs can beat the Raiders only if the Raiders
let them. The Raiders bring an offensive line that will
probably have Sapp wishing he had brought a lunch.
The Raider defense is one of the best ever put up
by an NFL team in years. Gruden knows the Raiders.
The Bucs have Gruden, who wrote the Raiders play book
however, if you have watched the team this year, they
significantly changed which plays they run from the old
sets that Gruden established.

The Raiders have gone away from the Pre-vent D.
And have really reduced the use of the zone D. They
are a man for man defense now. They bring an offense
that the Bucs haven't seen, nor can fathom the new
intensity that the Raiders are playing with.

If Gruden is saying that there is a certain way the
Bucs can play that will assure defeat of the Raiders
he is sadly mistaken. The only way the Bucs can win
the Superbowl is if the Raiders let them win. It is
not beyond the realm of possibilities, but I think
the Raiders will want this game more then any other game in the last 18 years.

Go Raiders!!!!!

Yo Guys!

Well its halftime! Looks like we have to break another all time record to pull it out! Raiders have been the best at halftime adjustments, so far...

As youve seen the Raiders have not been executing. The offencive line hasent done their job, too many dropped passes, & too many penalties. Not good.

Well if anyone can come back, I believe its the RAIDERS!

They better be, or im gonna be your whippin post later!

GO RAIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!

... it's over.

The 'Fat Lady' has sung.

It's near the end of the third ... and the Raider's are getting totally creamed.

I hang my head in shame ...

I will offer my congratulations NOW to the Buc's and their fans ... what a team!

Your team had the fire, and they burned the house down!

4:47 of the 3rd Qtr. It's a harsh reality...:>(

3rd interception, no passion on the Raiders side. No momentum what so ever. If The RAIDERS win, it will be a MIRACLE.

I work with all Raider fans, I told one of them it would come down to the D line of the bucs. Guess I was right, no time for Gannon equals sacks and picks for TB.

Still a Bronco fan and a Raider hater!!

You hit the nail on the head. The RAIDERS offencive line, in my opinion are responible for this loss. Gannon never had the time he usually gets out of them.

Mag ...

Was that you I heard scream in pain when the Raiders missed that two point conversion ??? Just as they lined up to snap the ball, I was thinking that might give you a shot at ended up with a consolation prize ...

Will somebody please tell that 'Fat Lady' she can stop singing now?

Tampa Bay and their fans should be proud of their first Super Bowl victory!

Mag: I am sorry for YOU that YOUR team lost, and yes, you did give me something to root for -- which made the game more enjoyable (if one can really classify that monstrosity as a game) for me to watch. Thanks. However, the Raiders did not let the Bucs beat them, the BUCS humiliated and destroyed the Raiders on every aspect of the game.

I believe the Raiders only got 19 yards rushing with 5 interceptions? OUCH!!! I hope AL DAVIS heard the message sent by John Gruden and his boys. As a Raider Hater, AWESOME!!!

Absolutely...the Raiders who have played for the last several weeks didn't show up. They didn't bring their tools and didn't go to work. Regardless of any hype regarding the "mighty" Bucs....the Raiders let them win. They didn't react, execute or prevent the Bucs from having their way.

They had everything they needed to win and didn't bring it to the game.

Congratulations to the Bucs fans. To people who are rooting against the Raiders just because....effyuu. We lost...big deal.

I'll buy my tickets and go to the games next year and enjoy another season. As a rule...I never bet on them...nor do I bet against them. They are just my team to root for.

above ^ the Raiders let them win. They didn't react, execute or prevent the Bucs from having their way.

That's because the Buccs took it toooooo the Raiders.
That was the Raiders "A" game .....against the number one defense.

Sorry about the loss, but I 've been there when the Pack (a 14 point favorite) lost to the Broncos in '98. The Raiders looked like the Pack in the wildcard loss. Hey, cheer up, motorcycle racing season starts the first week of March!

Time to root on the Sharks and wait for Baseball season to start.

I'm not even going to say the Raiders have a chance at it next year. I think Al is going to gut the team in the off season and give us another 4-5 years till he builds a new contender. I hope I'm wrong...but I'll still be there.
