However we still should have run the ball more that game. If TB had a weakness that year it was the their ability to handle a power running game. Of course Robbins being AWOL did have a lot to do with the game plan at the last minute.

If Callahan goes to KC, you will see much more passing from them. Their O will be more dynamic in terms of their play calling, and their RBs will be bigger threats in the passing game.

Great point,its good to see someone follows football.It was 1 week.He did change a lot of plays and then our crackhead center went awol and it was changed back.I think its a good signing for the chiefs.And to the it was grudens team excuse why didnt Gruden go the the superbowl with Grudens team.Yeah the tuck rulesucked but we didnt finish the game.I would trade losing the SB to winning 4 games a year right now.

If he audibled every call he made...then you are blaming Rich Gannon for the loss?

Im not a huge Callahan fan as he went paranoid after the Super Bowl thinking the league figured him out. But I put the Super Bowl loss on the heels of the actions of Barrett Robbins. Tim Brown said that they were prepared to have the Super Bowl be the Tyrone Wheatley show but Callahan reverted back at the last minute to the passing game. Why? Cause god bless him, Adam Treu was a decent pass blocker but wasn't much as a run blocker.
If he goes to KC, I have a feeling that their QB will be Chad Pennington next year.

Wrong...If I remember right, with that Superbowl there was only one week off. They went from two weeks off down to one week off for a while and then back to two weeks. It would have been hard for the team to really change things with one week before the game. Possibly some of the audible verbage could have been changed. Hindsight is 20/20, man. You have to remember that the Raiders had one of the most prolific scoring offenses in the history of the NFL. From their perspective, why change? I know...we can see what happened. It's easy to point fingers after the fact!
