This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Curious: What is their record in LA vs Raiders by saintapollonia

I'll go to look it up in a bit. But thought maybe you had it on hand when checking vs Raiders in Oakland.

I know they won in LA in the last game of the season in 1984. They needed a victory to make the playoffs over the Bengals, and they ended up beating the Broncos, then got obliterated by Marino and the Dolphins in the AFC title game. That was the year they provided the 1 loss to Montana and the 49ers.

Edit: Just checked on question: Raiders played as LA from 1982 season through 1994 season. Steelers 2-2 in LA versus the Raiders.


To note: footballdb.com is a rather nice site to search such things. profootballreference.com has been my go to for a while; they have a college football, college basketball, NBA, and MLB reference site too.

Good grief, I miss College Football Data Warehouse. That site was fantastic.
