Super snore
I think I watched the game about a quarter too long. Should have turned it off before halftime and saved an hour or so of my Sunday. My prediction was Raiders 31, Bucs 30, but in a season when so many of my predictions went awry, why should today be any different?
In a word, the Raiders looked simply "NawFuL" (and you could remove the N and not lose a bit of the meaning!). No spark. No fire. Half the time it didn't even look like they were on the field -- oh wait, half the time they weren't on the field. Gannon couldn't pass, the receivers couldn't catch, Bill Callaghan couldn't call a play that the Bucs couldn't predict. This team frankly didn't show up with its game face on, and Tampa Bay did. The Bucs deserve to win. Nice to see John Gruden have a super Sunday, but for the rest of us (well, the rest of us in the Bay Area anyhow) it was a true Stupor Bore.
