I guess if I were a Raider fan I might feel the same way .. oh well it sucks to suck.

Spent some time with a Raiders fan, talk about stuck on stupid.. they still believe all that Tuck Rule crap.. guess they have to hang on to something.

I find it humorous there's even a WikiPedia site dedicated to the game...

Tuck rule game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We had a 2nd and 3 with 2:31 on our own 42 yard line. If we convert for a first down, the game is over. THAT's where the problem was, IMHO.

The only thing about that though is that the Pats had Charlie Garner for about a 6 yard loss on first down and he ended up gaining 7. But either way, they stopped them short in 2nd and Bryan Cox stopped Zack Crockett I believe (or Jon Richie) on 3rd and 6 inches. If they convert there, best case scenario, the Pats get the ball back at about their own 25-30 with 30 seconds and no timeouts.

But yes, a lot of the Raiders fans there did admit they still had plenty of other opportunities to win that game. Classic game.

I remember the phantom roughing the passer call on Sugar Bear, at least the ref got this call right using replay - boohoo Faider fans.

Yeah, bust is the appropriate word. I mean, he's played a couple of seasons now and we're still not seeing anything from him.

It's like they blame that call for all of the Raider's woes since then and forget about the big fat egg they laid in Superbowl 37 against the Bucs.

Excuse me but is Al Davis still on life support?

What are you talking about? Al Davis has been dead for 30 years. They preserve his body on ice and prop him up in the luxery box.

Is he still responsible for making all those "brain-dead" decisions for the Raider organization these last few years?
