LOL, well I did call out my homerism right off the bat, thanks for keeping me honest. We absolutely weren't the best team in the West -- precisely because we lost both games to KC. Their winning run since last year has been incredible, and they've found different ways of beating different styles of teams for two seasons now.yeah you might be getting a little carried away here.....
you weren't even the best team in the west....and I could probably argue with you jab for jab how KC in all three phases of the game creates some tough if not tougher matchups...
But to me (again with rose colored glasses), KC just didn't have the same spark, that magic, that unity of purpose and charismatic leadership that the Raiders have with Carr. That may not be something that wins games alone, but it definitely helps. All those 4th Q rallies are testament to the fact that this team never said die (a far cry from the squad we've had for the last 10+ years).
