I think you greatly over estimate me, Florida. I legitimately believed that the Raiders would win. The game played out exactly the way I thought it would. The Raiders don't quit, and I haven't seen them fold up in one game that they had to win. I had a feeling that it would come down to the end and that the Raiders would win in the last minute or in OT. If you think the Raiders are so bad, why do you think the Bengals ended up having to make a goal line stand in the final minute of the game? Wouldn't that fact alone suggest that either the Bengals aren't as good as people think or that the Raiders are better than people think?
As far as my criticism of the Rams goes (and I've been a fan for almost 43 years), I'm an architect by profession, and I tend to focus more on problems or things that aren't working right.
Having also taken philosophy courses in epistemology at the university level, I always try to deconstruct thinking and ideas. I know it drives some people crazy, but I have a genuine interest in the way people think and why they believe what they do. That leads me to write and discuss a lot of things that, contextually, may appear at first glance to not have much to do with the Rams.
And ever playing the Eiron.
Servus Callidus!
