At the end of the day though, how did that work out for you? I don't care what you say about the Raiders, things can change quick in the NFL. Just because you did well or nor one season, doesn't mean things can't change the next. In order for an Alex Smith led team to win, you will need the #1 defense year in and year out, like I have been saying. Call it what you want, he completed 46% of his passes and was 1-13 on third down in the biggest game of his career. Harbaugh got out coached and the end result proves just that. Coughlin told his players to get down before contact on returns where as Harbaugh said go be "a football player." At the end of the day you have to know how your team is built, the situation at hand, and what is at stake. Harbaugh and the Niners didn't grasp the moment and now you guys want to bash the Raiders because of it. You guys had a great season and have alot to be optimistic about but the numbers don't lie and the chances of you guys making the playoffs next year just went down drastically. My Raiders have work to do, but their first order of business should be securing Al Sanders as OC. We didn't show up and deserved to be on the couch when the playoffs started.
That is right Dennis Allen. DO your homework buckaroo. He is an ex-defensive back and should have a great understanding of defense as DB's need to understand what is happening in front of them. Really all we needed was a DC but McKenzie wants his guy which is understandable. I ma not sold on him but retaining Al Saunders as OC will bost my confidence drastically. Offensively we are fine. We need to work on defense and need to worry about that for the majority of the offseason. JUST WATCH BABY, FROM YOUR COUCH WITH THE REST OF THE 29 OTHER TEAMS!
Niner fans will still be depressed come Superbowl Sunday like ol boy below!
