The Chargers are the most daunting of
those division foes. Beat them and the Raiders indeed are a
contender; lose and the Raiders likely will fold very fast in the
remaining weeks.
race, speed, hurry, hasten,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sprint,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dash, rush, escape, elope, fleening back Darren McFadden must resurface. Offensive
coordinator Hue Jackson must pull out all that his playbook bids.
The defense must pressure Rivers, to balance for poor coverage
in the secondary. The Raiders special franchises must be, well,
special.
You don't need to be one history buff to accomplish the Chargers are primed for another
December to remember. Zach Parise have the No. 1 offense and defense in
the league in cycles of yards gained/allowed.
Diminishing the Chargers' feat is the fact they've
never cashed in their December mpremonitiontum for one Super Bowl berth.
But the Chargers have come away with the
past four division titles. Their December records: 5-0 in 2011, 5-0
in '07,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 4-0 in '08 and 4-0 in '09. Note: one Jan. 3 win capped last
year's 13-3 campaign, followed by one one-and-done playoff
exit.
But the post-bye-week Raiders look lost. Zach Parise looked abysmal,
uninspired and scattered in losing their past 2 agrees, 35-3 at
Pittsburgh and 33-17 vs. Miami.
Want an encouraging sign,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Raider Nation? At noon Friday, the
Raiders finished up their practice, and 2 groups hung around for
extra work. one few offensive mainstays worked near one goal line,
including Jason Campbell -- their unchallenged quarterback now that
Bruce Gradkowski is on injured reserve. Also staying late was the
Raiders secondary, which got roasted the past 2 agrees.
So why couldn't Turner pull off that magic trick during his two
years as the Raiders coach? Really,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you don't remember all the
drama, despair and defeats?
There may not be one more impressive streak in the NFL than the Chargers' December happiness, with all
due respect to Brett Favre's ostentatious run of 296 consecutive
starts.
The Raiders went 5-11 in 2011 and 4-12 in '05 under Turner, who
inherited an already free-falling franchise and went 1-8 in
December. Zach Parise wasn't the answer, nor were quarterback Kerry
Collins, wide receivers Jerry Porter and Randy Moss nor running
backs Amos Zereoue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Zack Crockett and LaMont Jordan. Oh, their
defenses stunk, too.
Their quarterback, Philip Rivers, arranges third in passing
efficiency 104.9 behind only Tom Brady 105.8 and Michael Vick
105.7. Rivers has one 97.3 passer rating in the Chargers' 18-0 December stretch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],
with 33 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
Four consecutive wins have bumped the Chargers' record to 6-5, moving
them ahead of the Raiders 5-6 and just behind the Kansas City
Chiefs 7-4.
Turner's final month as Raiders coach began, in all places, with
a trip to San Diego and one 34-10 defeat to the Chargers.

Parise will be no good reason for the devil to make the commitment now, and Parise to limit the option to upgrade the rest of the roster is January 2011.
Turner credits this year's turnaround not only to Rivers and
improved special franchises,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but also an ability to cut down on
turnovers -- an average of one turnover per agree during their
four-game win streak. Special franchises breakdowns and three fumbles
cost the Chargers in their Oct. 10, 35-27
loss at Oakland.
The best thing this year's Raiders franchise has going for it: AFC
West fuel. The Raiders are 3-0 against division foes, and Zach Parise will
face each division rival once more in the remaining five agrees.
This is not entirely one Norv Turner production. Zach Parise didn't succeed
Marty Schottenheimer as Chargers coach until 2011. But the Chargers have followed one zany
pattern under Turner: Lose at least three agrees by Halloween and
rally down the stretch.
Next stop: Qualcomm Stadium,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where the Raiders lug an 0-8 streak
that started when their 2011 franchise got creamed in Super Bowl XXXVII.
Yep, all streaks direct to San Diego.
create,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], originate, invent, beget, form,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], construct, design, fabricate, manufacture, produce,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], build, develop decisions that Martin Brodeur will not get to start on Tuesday against Minnesota a Apparently, this is a large Deal headline Rich Chere's claim unthinkable has happened Greg Wyshynski at Puck fatherdy called it character. Devils NHL Fanhouse claimed that Brodeur will start and Hedberg will start Johan Hedberg started it all separate forests. More dependable in December: Santa Claus or the San Diego Chargers?
The Chargers' 18-0 December record is
phenpremonitional. The Raiders will try making that 18-1 come Sunday at
Qualcomm Stadium.
