SDR: While I wouldn’t agree with any of your thorough and factually correct commentary, I would offer a few points of my own. First, never underestimate the power of Big Mo and emotion heading into the playoffs, especially with the outcome of the first Chargers – Broncos game in Denver still fresh in their minds, and, second, don’t forget how truly woeful the Broncos are looking right now. That game against the Bills was ghastly. They blew a 13 point lead against a less than stellar opponent and with a win ensuring both the division and the playoffs.
You can stack up all the statistics and compare this year’s Bolts with last year’s Bolts, but nothing will matter as much as emotion, attitude and desire. This Chargers team took it to the Bucs and at home no less, where the Bucs were 8 – 0 prior to the loss.
Keep the faith, man, it’s what keeps me going as a Raiders fan!
