Monday night football - Raiders, then short week into San Diego with losing a day due to time difference, then Sunday with Chicago, then a short week into Thanksgiving.
I think having a long week to prepare will help a lot with getting back on track.
Too add… total number of minutes the defense had to play vs offense. Both Chicago and GB they had a combined 80+ min of grueling play time. Almost double the time the offense had. Has to be tough on their recovery and bodies.
Bro, there was 14 days between the Raiders and San Diego game. And you don’t “lose a day” going back 3 hours in time zone.
3 games in 11 days is pretty rough. They’ll be alright, let them regroup.
They haven’t played great last 4 games and are 3-1.
We don’t have to imagine, we were there with stafford for a decade
And Green Bay had a short week also for our game.
With fresh bodies.
Packers were in the same spot on Thanksgiving, no excuses
Worth pointing out that their opponents before/after the short week played eachother the week prior.
In terms of reviewing the freshest game film for the Chargers (Week 11), the Green Bay coaches had the footage from Lions Vs Chargers (Week 10). So they got pretty up to date in intel on the Lions (Week 12) for free.
They had fresh bodies though.
