Bring them on.

This time we're the ones with Joe Cool.

I can’t believe they didn’t come back to say goodbye.

After the game there was a lone Raiders fan walking to his car and I tapped him on the shoulder and told him they had a great season with all the adversity. He looked at me and said...

"Thanks, and you should know that Raiders Nation will be rooting for the Bengals for the rest of the playoffs."

Pretty cool.

He wore a Raiders jacket and Bengals hat -- showing his love for a city that had been so good to him (his words) even as he rooted on his Raiders. The visiting fans were generally very respectful, and I think that comes from fanbases that understand each other on two levels:

1) long-standing playoff win drought
2) hatred of Pittsburgh

Thats cool guys, I like hearing this. Gives me SOME respect for Raiders fans.
