How the hell did Oakland get to the Superbowl by playing like that? I dont like one-sided battles

This isn't even one-sided.

I have never seen a less interesting Superbowl.


And Madden needs TO FUCKING SHUT UP.

A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks right, you go left.

It's not something people hear about.

Madden needs to work on his special teams.
Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

Madden should be on his own little 'special' team.

Madden is the most annoying sports announcer out there. Even in the games he manages to be annoying as hell.

Thing that made this Super Bowl:
1) Intercept -> Touchdown with 2 seconds left just to rip out their hearts and stomp on them more
2) The commercials
3) Shania Twian jiggling

The Raiders are most certainly NOT full of superbowl this year.

they lost, what else matters? I honestly dont care who wins, so long as Raiders loose. If they get massacured, so much the better, cource it would have been more satisfing if they had put up some semblace of a fight. But their quarterback setting a record for the most intercepted passes is kinda nice.

I turned it off around halftime, feeling disgusted with the lack of trying the Raiders were putting out. I turned it back on at the end of the 4th and was like "What the f***? They scored?"

Madden was just angsty that his record for youngest superbowl winning coach got beat.

Their defense just wasn't there. Every time their offense started to mount a comeback it was stomped back out as soon as the defense took the field.

Both defense and offense sucked in the first half, but in the second half the offense stepped up and started to play like they were full of Superbowl. But the defense kept on playing like a bunch of girls playing tag football in a backyard and cost them the game. Had the defense played just a LITTLE better it would have been the biggest comeback in Superbowl history.

I wanted the Raiders to win just to shut Warren Sapp and Keyshawn Johnson up. They're the two most over rated players in football today. They're strictly average, but they believe their own hype.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

The interceptions(5?) were the whole reason they won.

I didn't watch the 'bowl this year. I DO know that I fully despise Madden, so I guess I'm glad I did without.

The guy's a moronic prick.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

The offense NEVER mounted a comeback.
They just didn't show up. They had incredible field position (the 30 and the 50, twice) and could've easily hurt TB and put massive pressure on them.

But they just couldn't score.

When it was 20-3, it was over. They had packed it in.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

The Raiders didn't get to the SuperBowl by playing like that. All year long they were an offensive force to be reckonned with.

In the superbowl, they ran into a team whose defense was just FAR superior to their offense.

Ganon's inability to work the short dump just over the Defensive line. That had been his bread and butter all year. The Bucs took it away from them early; they never got over it.

And as much as you might hate John Madden, he made the point. There was NO FIRE. When they panned over the side lines. No one was in the game for the Raiders anymore. They allowed themselves get OUT of the game mentally.

You have to have FIRE to overcome a dominant force like the Bucs.

After the blocked punt which turned into a touchdown... BOOM!!! Fire. And they rallied an impressive comeback. But, it was too little too late. And the Bucs were still driving, scoring, and eating up time off the clock.

So like I said... the Raider team that played in the SuperBowl, was NOT the Raider team that played all year long.

But, to be honest with you. Even if the Raiders had brought their A++ game, they could NOT have beaten the Bucs.

The Buc Defense is OBVIOUSLY better than the Raider Offense. And even though the Raider Defense is good... it's only equal to the Buc Offense. That means the Bucs Defense will be the deciding force. Which it was.
