in fairness, the Raiders loss in SB XXXVII had a lot to do with who was coaching the Bucs in that game. It was practically per-ordained as soon as the matchup became official that the Raiders would lose.
Today's loss by Denver however, is not as easily glossed over. This game seemed to be a much better contest, at least on paper. Seattle had no such advantage to work with, and as it happens, they didn't need it anyways. Denver absolutely crapped their pants on this biggest stage possible, and it couldn't have happened to a bigger bunch of turds.
