The New Orleans Saints flew into Oakland from Oxnard, California, where they had spent the past week practicing to improve their defensive play, and dominated the Raiders the way a Super Bowl contender should. The final score was 40-20 Saints with 514 yards of total offense from New Orleans versus 380 total yards for the Raiders and 29 first downs for the Saints to 21 for Oakland.

In today's game you have to have replay because of the advances in TV technology. The media would beat to death bad calls all week between games also. Can you imagine what would happen to an officiating crew without replay reversals after they show the play on the stadium screen. Remember the bottle incident in Cleveland? That's why we can't buy beer after the 3rd quarter. I agree it takes too long and it could be done a lot faster up in the booth but with anything that involves a union you can't take away control from the man on the ground.

...and they will get to the place where the reviews are done by the time the celebration is over. No need for 6 different angles when a guy scampers in from the 17 untouched.

I liked the Raiders as a kid..........the Bad Boy attitude was compelling.
