richl@daemon.UUCP (Rick Lindsley) (10/31/84)

Well...slipped a bit to 9-5 this week. Several people pointed out to me
that last week I made a mistake in assigning the Raiders two losses instead
of one. But they took care of that for me this past week....

 1. Miami                (2)

I think the responsibility for the Raider's overtime loss to Denver rests
squarely on Tom Flores' shoulders.  Any coach who passes up a field goal
from the 10 yard line in overtime is letting his players and their fans
down.  I've yet to read or hear of any explanation for his decision.

Denver played one of the best fourth quarters I've seens against the Raiders
in a long time.  It was nice to see a "clean" game between these two teams
for a change.

  This is horse-puckey, since the Donkeys have beaten the Raiders twice this
year.  Our Donkeys are for real this year! Bring on the Seahawks!
