Get off the Bandwagon ! hehe . People are going to do the same when the NINERS do the same . >< . Even though it WAS suppose to be this year. I can't believe the RAIDERS are doing better than the Niners =/

Niners this season are the most disappointing thing I've ever seen in my life.
I'm seriously crying inside because of them. I really love you Niners, I really do. But this is almost too much....my Bay Area is full of heartbreakers. Sharks playoff last season was such a downer too. At least Giants are making a run for it.

And lol at Raiders doing better than Niners. That really says something.

Raiders > Niners. I'm still pissed at Janikowski for missing all those damn FGs though.

Bay Area sports franchises are depressing aside from the Giants, this season.

Raiders are better than the Niners, but 1-4 vs 0-5 is not a lot to brag about... haha

Also, I don't mind fair weather fans. A lot of revenue comes from these people and this is how a fan base grows/expands. More revenue, more salary cap to play with, the more the Giants can afford to spend on retaining or adding players. This also emphasizes the importance of WINNING!

^ Hey! The Raiders are 2-3 thank you very much. Shoulda been 3-2 if it weren't for Sebastian's ridiculousness.

Nope. Game 6 and 7 have been erased from my head

$$$ != guaranteed winning. And the Giants do not have a good spending track record...
Edgar Renteria 10 mil/yr
Aaron Rowand 13.6 mil/yr
and.......
Barry Zito 18.5 mill/yr

Spending does not guarantee winning, but it gives a team more freedom to add pieces to contend more consistently. Winning is what brings fans and revenue. Like everything in sports, winning makes things better... Unless you're the Tampa Bay Rays... haha And I agree, the Giants for the most part don't spend their money well.

Zito should go play softball and collect his money like his buddy Eric Byrnes. I really hope the Giants release/waive him or something after this season.

Hell yes, been a Raiders fan my whole life. Why do you think I went with a silver and black theme for my car?

At least I'm loyal, and that's not an easy thing to do when you're a Raiders fan.

i dont think its been easy being a loyal fan to ANY of the bay area team these past couple years

my buddy had the best line for the game: "I don't care if Mike Singletary went into Sunday's game 5-0. Losing to the Raiders is a fireable offense."
