When I was a kid the first NFL game I saw on TV was Raiders V. Seahawks, while I love Seattle I will always love the Raiders as well and even though I live in Washington state I owned Raiders apparel before I got anything Seahawks. For years a Raiders/Seahawks Superbowl has been on my wishlist and I can't believe that this might be the year it actually happens. Even though I will be rooting for the Seahawks to win if it is a good game I will not be unhappy with a Raiders Championship.

Until the Superbowl I wish your team the best and hope they continue winning.

I was expecting 7-9, 8-8 and maybe a super bowl during the Derek Carr era coming into the season. Those expectations have shot up a bunch, so it's almost impossible for me to be upset with this season. The only thing that would do it is losing to the pats in the afc championship on a horse poo poo call.

Nah, the Rams had a top 5 (iirc) defense that year. It was just overshadowed by the amazingness of the offense.

Haha, you figured it out eventually. Yeah they really were a complete team, considering how quickly they typically scored it's really impressive they were 6th in yardage and 4th in scoring D that year.

I mean, 49ers fans have reason to be pessimistic after a promising few seasons.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Kellymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Yeah, don't think I'll ever be cheering for the Raiders, or their updated "Black Knights" moniker.

I've been an A's fan as well as a 49ers fan since birth, so the Jed situation is nothing new and I'm well inured to mismanaged/collapsing franchises :agesilaus: Can't wait for the Warriors to join the tradition, and my sports misery to be complete.

I watched the super bowl on a dial television with rabbit ears as a starry eyed 13 year old. I remember it got so bad that I had to change the channel. Then I'd just pace the room trying to pretend the game wasn't going on. When I'd finally cave and change it back, the Raiders would be doing something good. Maybe they scored, or they were driving. No sooner would I start watching than there would be an interception or something horrible. It was really traumatizing. I felt like it was my fault. For years I thought if I hadn't watched the game we might have won.
