    xxlp & Clinton… I get what you guys are saying. BUT I refuse to go into ANY season "KNOWING" that we wont go to the Super Bowl… Sure, maybe the chances are slim and against us. Fine. I can live with that… But Ive said it before and I’ll say it again…. This is a league where there is a THIN line between greatness and horrible… and that line can be crossed ANY season. Look at how close we came to winning in EACH (besides the 2nd Denver game) of our games… Youre telling me that that was SUPPOSED to happen?? Uh-Uh! I never said that Herm is doing a bad job at drafting. I think he’s doing great… but we need to do SO much more than draft well… Such as Free Agency (in which we are sucking air at right now… and in which I’m pissed about). I understand we have a nice grip of guys that we’re gonna draft and probably have to sign… and that we MAY need that salary cap for those guys ( Jared Allen & others)… BUT we’ve signed  LB… Thats it? We didnt get Stallworth, Faneca, Vilma, Wilford, Brown… for crying out loud, we didnt even get Florence… and now Bryant Johnson is looking to visit Buffalo… It’s like, I get that Herm is going off the radar for guys… but really. C’mon… Like I said, if we can at least sign DeAngelo Hall, Max Starks, and maybe a solid guard (maybe work out  deal for Lito Sheppard) then I’d be a pretty happy guy… But we’re not doing a damn thing…. Moving on… Clinton & xxxlp… I’m not saying that to be "die hard" means to KNOW that your team will make it to the big show… No. not at all. Thats stupid… But have a little faith that we have it in us to make some sort of run towards it. No one gave the Giants the time of day for Super Bowl talk… It was all  New England, Dallas, Indy, and MAYBE the Packers… Yet, Ive NEVER heard a "die hard" fan ( of any team) say "Oh, well… we wont be going to the Super Bowl this year" before the season even started. You dont even know what our team is gonna look like. Nor what we can do… A couple season ago, EVERYONE I knew doubted and laughed their asses off when I said we’d go to the playoffs… then next thing you know, I’m watching Denver rank to the 9′ers in the final game of the season… and loan behold; Our boys are headed to Indy… I went back to work that Monday with my head held high, and not hearing a damn thing from co-workers all day. I was proud. And to ME!- THATS what being "die hard" is all about… Never doubting your team, even when times look rough… you stick with them no matter what. Now, I’m NOT saying that you guys DON’T stick with our team… but the doubt kills me. It really does. We ALREADY have the Total Access guys, ESPN, CBS football, FOX sports, EVERY Raider fan, and most people who watch football at that doubting our team… so to see our OWN doubt us, it’s just like "Hey, wait a minute there."
