I agree with you - Pierce's comments don't take away from how bad Oakland looked in New York. If his comments were taken out of context, then I don't see what he said as being a big deal. snd_dsgnr,

Bit touchy on the matter at the moment.

More specifically he was talking about the lack of emotion, energy, conversation, etc from the Raiders offense. It wasn't just bashing a bad team when they were down, he was making an observation on the team's chemistry. <i>No, I don’t have a problem with Seymour talking now. Sorry, I’m a reactionary kind of guy. If someone mouths off to me and I get a chance to throw it back in their face, I’m going to make sure I do. I love what Seymour said – LOVE IT.</i> See that's just the thing, Seymour didn't throw it back in Pierce's face. At all. The Giants got beaten down by the Saints, not the Raiders. Sure the Raiders came up with a nice win this past Sunday, but somehow I doubt that Pierce is particularly heartbroken over the Raiders putting the Eagles 2 games behind the Giants in the division.

Didn't he say that it was a wakeup call to him? He should have given Pierce the game ball in their win against Philly last weekend.

I don't disagree with what Pierce said, which plays into your argument about how nothing changes in that OAK/NYG game. But why say anything if you're Pierce?

I just found it ironic that Pierce mouths off and then the Saints make his defense look like a powder puff squad the next. I guess I should have refrained from that last comment about Pierce not working hard enough, but I couldn't resist. It was more of a pot shot than anything, snd_dsgnr, so don't read too much into it.
