Don't underestimate us Pats.

Welcome to the BLACK HOLE. Welcome back Randy... welcome back LJ.
How will Matt Cassel and those rookies fare in the most hostile stadium on the planet?

The Pats are playing the second game of a west coast trip, the last one in the same circumstances didn't go too well (SD 30 NE 10, no?)

We have nothing to lose, all the pressure is on you - you are playing what is basically the second of 4 elimination games to close out your regular season.

Your D is banged up, we could take advantage of it. We have a really good running game. Can you stop us? We'll see.

It's PAYBACK time for the tuck rule.... we can't wait to turn the tables on you and end your playoff season.... REVENGE baby...

We know what this game means to you. We are READY for you guys. I can't wait!

And no matter what happens the rest of the season...your team has nothing to be ashamed about all things considered. #12 will be back next year, and if he's healthy, I see a Super Bowl run for you guys next year. But it's not happening this year. JMO.

i dont think the pats underestimate anybody. the revenge factor is meaningless to the players and wont help them win. not saying they cant win but revenge doesnt factor in except for raiders fans.

You got your revenge on the Tuck Rule game, don't you remember you beat us in 2002 on the way to the Super Bowl, you know, that train wreck of a game you played vs Tampa................come on RS, get with it.

Meh... I don't know. This one feels different to me.

Yes I do remember that game. We beat you by 7, and I thought the scoreboard kind of flattered you guys. Tom Brady did not have a good game. I don't think the Patriots were one of the best teams in the NFL that year, I think most die hard Pats fans would admit that, so it was what it was, the superior team won that game.

There's a reason why this one is different. We're lousy, I can admit that, and the Pats are fighting for their playoff lives. You guys know that a loss is probably fatal to your playoff hopes. That's what will make a Raider win all that sweeter. This to me (short of you guys losing the game by that very same tuck rule) would be payback, more than 2002 was. Besides... there's no love lost between these two franchises and it's about time we got the rivalry going again!

Some are talking like it's a foregone conclusion that you have an "easy" schedule and will run the table. We'll see how "easy" it is on Sunday.... don't underestimate us.

You're right... but we fans sure look at it that way. Tell me you wouldn't feel that way if somehow the Patriots play the Colts this year in the AFC CG.

Is anybody left on the Raiders from the "tuck game"?

who ever is saying that is a complete moron. its a miracle the pats are 8 and 5 considering all the huge impact names they have lost to injuries. its by far the worst injury year i have ever seen. unprecedented injuries. there are so many i cant name them all. brady ty warren wilfork harrison A thomas . the list goes on and on.

I've seen 3 of your games this year, you stunk the joint out in all 3, so i'm sure you are due a good one.

They almost beat the Dolphins. Had them in the 4th quarter as a matter of fact.
