How did John Fox know the Chargers would beat the Raiders?

[taterguy]

It's obvious now that the Chiefs game was part of an elaborate set-up: Take the ball away from your QB to give the impression that you've totally lost confidence in him. Your next opponent won't bother preparing defenses against the pass.

The problem is that the plan relied on the Chargers beating the Raiders. Awfully gutsy call for a notoriously conservative coach to make, especially when it depended on that choking dog Philip Rivers.

I suspect tampering.

What do you think?

4. Did you watch the fucking games?

What other conclusion could you possibly reach?

3. Actually, I don't think Fox has much confidence in the guy, even to date.

He only let him have make or break long throws that had little chance for interceptions. Those happened to work out just enough for one week. I'm not sure that indicates much. Tebow still seems to be running only 1/2 an offense. Just last week, the Packers gave their second string QB the full offense, and he ran it to perfection. It might be a meaningless comparison, but then again...
