Seemed like they got away from it when at the time they really didnt need too.
Defense played a lot better than last year except the prevent crap again. But gotta give SD credit for hanging in there and pulling out a win. Good teams win games they probably shouldnt have. The raiders outplayed them for most of the game except when it mattered most. Too much celebrating a nice play and then giving up a big gain.

They looked much improved. They should have stuck with the running game however as they had the Chargers on the ropes in the first quarter and then they got away from the run game when the Chargers started blitzing. Big plays were just waiting to happen in the 2nd half had they stuck to their gameplan. Their defense has the potential to be very good if they can keep it up and not get down on the offense.
