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.
