Oaklands defense is really not that great. Tampa's defense is the best. Oakland has incredible offense, but again tampa's defense is the best. I just don't want to see a lot of bad calls this time. The play offs were plagued by them.

I thought you would be talking about Chelsea/Shrewsbury!
Come on the blues (or white as we are playing in today!)

Tampa Bay 27 Oakland 23 ==========================
seems a bit unfair that One team has MORE players than the other, and even you guys cant figure that out, looking at the numbers above.

Hopefully and god willing, Tampa will be embarrassed...
Beaten to a pulp.

So sad. :( I couldn't even look at the second half.
Where was the real Raiders team.
Too much D and O rack them hard.

That was the real Raiders team, bucs are just better. Sometimes the team no one wants to cheer for is the best team. I figure most reports of the game will have something like what happened to the Raiders. The bucs havent gotten due respect all year.

Raiders' looked pathetic today. This long time fan was definitely disappointed. :(

<"Raiders' looked pathetic today. This long time fan was definitely disappointed."
I feel your pain... I watched them all year and they just looked off. Remember the four game slide early in the season... that's what this reminded me of, just like the KC game... very disappointing.
Not a longtime Raiders fan, but I watched my Packers lay an egg, so I'm right there with ya.

Well, I'm a long time broncos fan, which means I don't like (to put it mildly) anything Al Davis touches.
It's also nice to see one of the newer teams (hey - bucs came into the league in what? 78?) win for a change. The old guard has dominated for so many years.

Although I'm in Southern California, I'm not disappointed that the Raiders lost. However I would have preferred a closer game. The Raiders really choked.

The Bucs played great defense today. Very deserving win.
I don't care for Al Davis at all, but I'm still a Raiders' fan. What he did to Marcus Allen was sad.
Superbowl record 5 interceptions for the league's MVP, how sad is that?

No, also when they lose. I just saw the news, they trashed Oakland again tonight.

Grrr, was going to put a bet on Tampa to win by at least 10 last night but bloody Blue Square was so slow it wouldn't accept my bet.
