[...] last time the Raiders beat the Chargers. One can hardly even call it a rivalry anymore – if it ever really was one to begin with. You’ve got to roll back the calendar to September 28th, 2003, to find the last victory [...]

I agree with Cable that the first game against San Diego is the perfect way to start the season. But I feel if you make the playoffs you have had a successful season.

From 1969 to 1975 we never lost to San Diego and we did no win a Super Bowl or even get there. Back then it was great knowing that we were always knocking on the door. San Diego has won 4 division titles in 5 years. They are where Cable wants to take us. I just don’t agree that San Diego has little to show for their recent domination of us. I think 3 playoff wins in the last two seasons is not bad, along with the division titles.

I would love to see the Raiders in a position again where we were winning the AFC West every season and our biggest challenge was getting past the Colts, Steelers, Pats, Ravens and Titans in the playoffs to get to a Super Bowl. That is Cable’s goal. Put us in a position to play in these games again. I can live with the results of a playoff game. I am just tired of being out of the playoff picture in November.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Keep jumping into the Wayback Machine Raider fans! All that history is great, congrats. But history won’t mean dick when the bell rings this season. None of those OLD wins will count in this year’s standings.

Raiders (12)NFL record AFC Championship Games played in to date vs San Diego’s (3). San Diego has played in (1) Super Bowl being blowed out to the Raiders (5) winning (3).

Add in the other (5) Super Bowls that the Raiders were a play away from playing in like the Lidell Fumble game or the Emaculate Receiption and that means the Raiders have played in or were a play away from playing in (10) Super Bowls during their hisrory. That is almost 25% of EVERY SUPER BOWL PLAYED TO DATE that had the Raiders in or near, stunning.

Rough few years or not, talking about the Raiders organization and the Chargers organization in the same breath. Is like trying to compare a cheap 5,000 claimer running on at the State Fairs to the great Man O War.

It was “crazy old Al”, yhat did all of that. For a record and history like that Charger and KC Fans would sell their own Mother. That is why Mr. Davis is so dispised by other Fans. The school yard bully has fell on some hard times and they love it.

But FACTS ARE FACTS and this young Raider team built by Mr. Davis is being built to do some damage for years to come. So you Raider Fans that feel so bad and cannot take the heat and turn on your owner and team. Just remember you could always wish for an owner like the Chargers and KC have and had, I mean, you know they have done so much.

Ten years from now nobody will remember what the Chargers or the Raiders records were in 2008, they only remember the Champions, I mean how many times have you seen the Chargers or KC on the NFL Network’s America;s Game?, almost nada.

I do hear that the NFL Network is going to make some sort of film on the Faders in the NFL, you know the teams like KC and the Chargers that have ALWAYS FADED when it was time to step up and it counted. So get your heads out of the sand, we hit a rough few years and lost a few battles, but that is going to end real soon and the Raiders will add to THEIR STUNNING RECORD within the NFL.

smcgill, the last time we lost to the Steelers was the opening game of the 2004 season (Norv’s first game as head coach) when the Steelers beat us 24-21. Nice try though with that selective memory saying we have not lost to the Steelers this century. I love Raider fans like you that bury their head in the sand and pretend nothing is wrong.

i am probably a bit older but in the 70’s i used to live in san diego and i can tell you there is nothing better in football fan life than going to a raider road game in san diego, the charger fans just hated us. one game that went very well early the three of us raider fans were just celebrating and having great fun, by the end of the third quarter there was no one sitting in the section we were in they had all moved far far away. in the end the chargers came back but fell short on a dropped ball only five yards from the enzone. we were quiet most of the forth quarter but stayed and danced on our chairs long after the final play. there is nothing better buy a ticket and enjoy if i wasn’t in pennsylvania i’d be there. by the way can you remember the last time we lost to the Stinkingsteelers? life has been good here for years i think the raiders are undefeated this century against the steelers if not don’t tell me and screw up a great feeling! this should be a great season
