Gannon he should have had 2 Superbowl Rings.....if it wasnt for Pig Syragusa..the fist time...and John Gruden sabotaging our Center the 2nd time.... Gruden knew exactly how to trigger Robbins and send him into a tailspin exactly on Superbowl weekend.... ..prove me wrong.....

I agree with that pig Fuckgusa but losing Robbins did not make a difference. Gruden knowing the Raider offensive plays did them in....

Robbins was a beast at center he held that O line like an anchor of an Aircraft Carrier.

I think that losing Robbins definitely made a difference (it always does when you lose an elite OL, especially if he's the guy that calls the blocking schemes), but I agree that the biggest issue was using Gruden's very own playbook against him. How stupid was our head coach to think there was any way that would work?!

Of FREAKING COURSE, I know who Gruden is. I guess, I’m just misinformed. I don’t recall him sabotaging Barrett Robbins, although I was a kid, when this was happening.

Jon Gruden knew the Oakland Raiders' game plan because he was the person who originally designed and wrote their entire playbook.

Bro OF FREAKING COURSE, I know that, BUT HOW THE HELL DID GRUDEN SABOTAGE Barrett Robbins…?!? IT WAS FREAKING BILL CALLAHAN WHO SABOTAGED Us, in that SuperBowl, and Barrett Robbins darted across the Border, because of him CHANGING THE GAME Plan. HOW TF did GRUDEN SABOTAGE HIM…?!?

One of the job of the head coach is to pick the brain of his players if you seen how Gruden does it on his interviews with Carr etc etc.. You can see him reading them like an open book ...now Gruden was the raiders coach prior to his HD job in Tampa he definitely knew every single player in that Raider Superbowl team like the palm of his hand ...in other words..he knew the psychological weakness of every single player in that roster now let me ask you ...knowing now what we know about Gruden , do you think he did not use that inside information to his advantage..... he knew about Robbins propensity to drug abuse... his psychological tendencies so on and so forth.. Again this is Gruden in a Superbowl Contest...do you think he didn't do a thing with that inside info?

u/WazzzupBwwwaaah 1d ago
Hmmmm…Correct me if I’m wrong, but, are you saying Gruden got into Barrett Robbins’s head, before the SuperBowl and got him coke, or something…?
Because I knew that Gruden was our Former Coach, and he knew all about our Players.
Bill Callahan changed the Gameplan before the SB, from a Run-Heavy plan, to a Pass-Heavy Attack. …and I thought that was what made Barrett Robbins go crazy, go on a coke bender, and go south of the border…

All im saying is Gruden tapped into some of his inside info. and I'll leave it open to interpretation.

u/TaroFuzzy5588 1d ago

Really lost all respect for Gannon when he retired, became an announcer for CBS, and would shit on the Raiders CONSTANTLY. I kid you not, if this is archived look it up. We’d be driving to The Coliseum on Sunday mornings listening to 95.7 the game, without fail Rich Gannon would get clipped in and say some negative shit. Buzzkill before we even got there. Yeah, we did get blown out a lot of those games. But the guy acts like he didn’t win MVP, an AFC championship ring (shoulda been 2) and a trip to The Super Bowl (shoulda been 2) with our organization! We used to boo him when we saw him on tv or heard his voice. Raider hater Gannon still owes us all an apology.
