What makes you think my reply was any different? I'll tell you why, it's because you're on the losing end now. 49'er fans were offended at your article, I remember one person posting an article saying that your comments were offensive and inappropriate. It follows that Redskin fans would feel the same way about my article, which was very similar to your original article, with Redskins substituted for 49'ers, and Raiders substituted for Redskins. It seems you weren't prepared for a turnaround. Turnabout is fair play, you should take my article in the same light as you meant yours in, mine was no more serious or offensive. As for the Skins losing because they were so overconfident that they failed to prepare for the game. How could this be? They only managed a last second defeat over the Raiders earlier in the season, and the week before, the 49'ers gave them quit a run. What on earth would give them cause not to prepare for the game? Could it have been the fact that the Raiders had crushed the Steelers and Seahawks in the two preceeding weeks? Maybe they knew they couldn't possibly win.
