San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders: Feuding Neighbors in 2011?

For four consecutive years, the San Francisco 49ers have had more wins per season, starting in 2006 and ending in 2009.

In 2010, the Oakland Raiders had an 8-8 record, while the 49ers had a 6-10 record. In fact, in 2009, the 49ers bragged about an 8-8 record, then dropped to a 6-10 in 2010.

Here is a chart to get an idea of what's been going on since 2002:

	49ers	Raiders	diff
2002	10	11	1
2003	7	4	-3
2004	2	5	3
2005	4	4	0
2006	7	2	-5
2007	5	4	-1
2008	7	5	-2
2009	8	5	-3
2010	6	8	2

According to the data, during the period focused on in this article, the 49ers have a better cumulative figure than the Raiders, from 2002 to 2010.

Since 2009, the Oakland Raiders are rising up while the 49ers seem to be sliding downward.

Of course, we know that passion and determination can cause an inflection point in the trend, and the  direction can change from a decline to an incline, or vice versa.

Let's continue to hope for an upward trend in the wins for the Oakland Raiders. We really believe that Head Coach Hue Jackson and his coaching staff will make the difference in 2011.

Go Raiders! Just win, baby!
