"I think last week was a fluke. That wasn't us. This week we're more focused and coming out at home ready to play"
So this week the team will be MORE focused??? Statements like this are baffling to me. How can you be any less than 110% focused and ready when playing one of your biggest division rivals on MNF to open the season???? And judging from the performance, I think he is right, I just don't get how this continually happens to THIS team.
Well just speculating, but you can be less that 110% focused if you just went through your 3rd move and then went on the road.
Some teams that moved--how they did:
Arizona lost their first 2 and went 7-9.
Baltimore won their opener but then lost the next 2 and went 4-12.
Indianapolis lost their opener, won game 2, and went 1-3 in their first 4 games and 4-12 for the season.
Tennessee won their opener and then lost 4 and went 8-8
St.Louis won 4 to open the season but then ended up 7-9.
The one real winning team was the Raiders, in both moves. In the 82 strike year the LA Raiders won their opener and then went 8-1. When they moved back to Oakland in 95, they won their opener and then ended up 8-8.
