RETURNING THE RAIDERS TO GLORY (2 Viewers)

[Portis 26]

On trots lowly backup QB RALPH WHITFIELD! He's ranked a mere 75 overall!

 

[Portis 26]

The SUPER BOWL lies in the hands of lowly RAIDERS backup QB RALPH WHITFIELD!RAIDERS clinging to a 3 point lead!

 

[Portis 26]

WHITFIELD's first pass is a completion, but the RAIDERS are running out of time in the half.

 

[Portis 26]

WHITFIELD has the RAIDERS on the SKINS 40 with 7 seconds left in the half, time for a desperation heave.

 

[Portis 26]

INCREDIBLE PLAY!!!!RAIDERS had HAIL MARY formation and sent 5 WRs deep, D-JAX somehow found himself all alone in the end zone, and WHITFIELD sent a beautiful deep ball arcing in to him WITH ONLY 1 SECOND LEFT IN THE HALF!DARRELL JACKSON 39 yard TD RECEPTION!RAIDERS lead 24-14!Beautiful throw by the RAIDERS lowly backup RALPH WHITFIELD!

 

[snowmonkey501]

MAGNUM got sandwiched by two SKINS D-linemen!He's confirmed OUT FOR THE REST OF THE GAME!

oh nooooooooooo....

 

[Portis 26]

That will do it for the half!RAIDERS now have a 10 point lead at halftime, but with the great RANDALL MAGNUM out, they're still in grave danger!

 

[snowmonkey501]

RAIDERS lead 24-14!

:stillers: :stillers: :stillers:

 

[Portis 26]

WHITFIELD at the helm for the RAIDERS, they'll get the ball first in the second half!

 

[Portis 26]

R.B. FISK 64 yard TD RECEPTION!!WHITFIELD tossed it into the path of the speedster and he was off to the races!Suddenly the RAIDERS lead 31-14 and are accelerating away!

 

[snowmonkey501]

ok...i know I got good #s for the 3rd q....1 and 7....hmmmm...almost doable...

WHITFIELD tossed it into the path of the speedster and he was off to the races!Suddenly the RAIDERS lead 31-14 and are accelerating away!

who needs RANDALL MAGNUM?

 

[Portis 26]

SKINS next drive underway and DE KENYON COLEMAN has just got hurt!He's replaced by reserve LB MARK STUBBS (a pass-rusher)BOTH STARTING DEs for the RAIDERS are OUT!

 

[snowmonkey501]

BOTH STARTING DEs for the RAIDERS are OUT!

????

 

[Portis 26]

COLEMAN is back after a couple of plays! Phew! If he'd been out for any length of time, the RAIDERS would have had no pass rush at all! As it is, we've got a DT, DEE JENKINS, labouring away at one DE slot, and easily getting handled by the Skins line.

 

[Portis 26]

HALL 38 yard FG, the SKINS now back within 2 scores, 31-17.

 

[Portis 26]

WHITFIELD has the RAIDERS moving again, he's just hit FISK for another first down into Redskins territory, the speedy #3 WR spinning for extra yardage. The RAIDERS WRs are making the plays, WHITFIELD is just having to lay it out to them.

 

[Portis 26]

WHITFIELD finds TEYO over the middle to the SKINS 26!

 

[Portis 26]

Now WHITFIELD finds PORTER to the 8!

 

[Portis 26]

DARRELL JACKSON 8 YARD TD RECEPTION!WHITFIELD found him alone in the end zone again!It's 38-17 RAIDERS!

 

[snowmonkey501]

31-17.

ok...i know I got good #s for the 3rd q....1 and 7....hmmmm...almost doable... yes.gif

come on clock..tick tick tick...

 

[Portis 26]

RALPH WHITFIELD has just thrown for 197 yards (9-12) and THREE TDs in a QUARTER of action!

 

[snowmonkey501]

DARRELL JACKSON 8 YARD TD RECEPTION!

WHITFIELD found him alone in the end zone again!

It's 38-17 RAIDERS!

this whitfield guy is too good, hes costing me $$$$

 

[Portis 26]

All hail RALPH WHITFIELD!

 

[Green94]

All hail RALPH WHITFIELD!

 

[Portis 26]

Into the fourth quarter, SKINS trying for the huge comeback!

 

[Portis 26]

PHILLIP BUCHANON 34 yard INTERCEPTION RETURN for the TOUCHDOWN!He snared an errant DOUGLAS pass and raced to the end zone.It's not raining for the SKINS, it's POURING!45-17 and the silver and black legions are going wild!

 

[Portis 26]

TANK WILLIAMS has another one!ANOTHER INT for the RAIDERS!It's officially a SUPER BOWL BLOWOUT!

 

[Portis 26]

Two minute warning! RAIDERS seconds from SUPER BOWL GLORY!

 

[Portis 26]

FRED TAYLOR surges for a first down as the RAIDERS go into their 3 TE clock killing mode!

 

[Portis 26]

Another first down for FRED TAYLOR, that should just about do it!

 

[Portis 26]

OOPS! RALPH WHITFIELD fumbles on an ill-advised scramble and the SKINS recover! Our lowly backup is human after all!

 

[Portis 26]

Fortunately the SILVER AND BLACK D crushes the SKINS again and they turn the ball over on downs, that will do it!

*** OAKLAND RAIDERS SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS ***

 

[Portis 26]

RAIDERS win their THIRD SUPER BOWL in FOUR YEARS - are they now officially a DYNASTY?!

 

[Portis 26]

CB PHILLIP BUCHANON is MVP for his INT return for a TD, but some might argue that backup RALPH WHITFIELD deserves the honor.When RANDALL MAGNUM got hurt, the RAIDERS were clinging to a narrow 17-14 lead. 197 yards and 3 TDs later, the RAIDERS had waltzed to a 45-17 victory behind WHITFIELD's passing!

 

[snowmonkey501]

Let's just hope he doesn't get hurt... knock on wood. Backup RALPH WHITFIELD is very unproven.

way to go portis...you better hope its not career ending...

 

[Portis 26]

THE OAKLAND RAIDERS DYNASTY is officially PROCLAIMED!If three titles in four years is good enough for the Patriots, it's good enough for the RAIDERS!RANDALL MAGNUM and the RAIDERS enter history as a DYNASTY!

 

[snowmonkey501]

RANDALL MAGNUM and the RAIDERS enter history as a DYNASTY!

sweeeeeeeeeeeet

 

[Green94]

Great Game PortisPicked up a lot of cash on this game

 

[snowmonkey501]

any news on MAGNUMS injury status???

 

[Portis 26]

any news on MAGNUMS injury status???

He's fine, he was just out for the game, but he'll be back 100% next year!

 

[snowmonkey501]

He's fine, he was just out for the game, but he'll be back 100% next year!

 

[Portis 26]

On with the OFF-SEASON!

 

[Portis 26]

RETIREDERRICK BROOKSDENNIS NORTHCUTTBROOKS goes out a champion, having joined the Raiders in the final year of his NFL career and having played a key part in the Raiders wildcard run through the playoffs to SUPER BOWL victory.NORTHCUTT became somewhat associated with Keystone Cops-style returns, you never knew if he was going to fumble the punt or return it for a TD. Great KR though and useful reserve WR for the last 5 seasons. PHILLIP BUCHANON will now assume primary KR duties.

 

[Portis 26]

RE-SIGNED:MO COLLINS (31/7)SHANE LECHLER (11/7)RALPH WHITFIELD (2.5/1)After his SUPER BOWL heroics, WHITFIELD deserves another season as backup to RANDALL MAGNUM. He's not one to keep for the long-term, however, because his overall ranking is average and will decline because he's not the principal starter. COLLINS is an unsung hero in the trenches, LECHLER a great punter, both are worth tying up to long-term deals.

 

[Portis 26]

NOT RE-SIGNED:Gerald WatsonFred LaneDerrick GibsonLonnie DexterMark StubbsThe only player of note here (the rest are scrub backups) is DERRICK GIBSON who had a very solid five seasons as the RAIDERS starter at SS. The arrival of TANK WILLIAMS has made him expendable, however.

 

[Portis 26]

DRAFT:OK, the positions we need to urgently address in the draft are:LE (KENYON COLEMAN is a solid starter, but it's time to draft BABY DEMON and unleash him)FB (B.J. ASKEW is also a solid starter, but it's FULLBACK FRO time)C (KEVIN MAWAE only has a few seasons left)T (LINCOLN KENNEDY only has a few seasons left)As ever, if there's a superb HB we would jump at the chance to draft him, it's just that it seems there never is... so old FRED TAYLOR will have to do for now.

 

[Randall Magnum]

I seem awfully injury prone. I don't remember past dynasty QBs like the legend BRAD SMITH going out hurt this often.

 

[Portis 26]

One thing to note before we start the draft - RANDALL MAGNUM has progressed to a 99 OVERALL RANKING.This makes him a living deity. What an extraordinary QB - in all his seasons of glory BRAD SMITH never went up above 96. But now MAGNUM is up there at the hallowed mark of 99, into the hallowed halls of eternity.
