SDR: If I have to choose Kiffin’s, I’ll take Monte, please. I agree with you (mostly), but it has been a long, slow death since Gruden left. I personally feel like the Raiders (read Al Davis) lost their way after the Marcus Allen debacle. That really showed not only a lack of class (I know, surprising for the Raiders to use that word), but a real lack of vision.
I was in high school in ’82 when that SD – Miami game took place, and I can still picture Kellen Winslow being carried off the field following. We won the CCS (NorCal version of the CIF) the following year, and our coach used that game to drive home the point about persistence and triumphing over adversity. Probably the greatest pro game ever, in my opinion.
The best part of this is seeing Norv Turner come out on top. It might sound strange, especially from a Raiders fan, but this guy has endured so many cracks, and put-downs, and now this. All of that is pretty much swept aside following these last two games. Imagine if the Chargers beat NE! I might even start feeding a little blue and gold into my wardrobe.
Kidding.
