We were coming off the bye.  If we lose our third in a row to a struggling Raider team (5-5 on 2 game losing streak) I don't have much hope for us getting the wheels back on the bus.

Instead we not only win, but we win big, We win on the road 2 time zones away.  And we win against a direct competitor for a playoff spot in the AFC.

Before Thursday's game I really thought the Raiders were going to pull their usual swoon and finish without a winning record for the 5th straight year.  So I did not consider it a HUGE win.  But when I thought about how devastating a loss would have been it really was potentially a season saving victory.

I totally agree.  In principle there counselor.  Had we lost against the Raiders I think I would have been done with him.  I still saw some questionable play calls.  But.  I have to admit that I saw a fairly well coached game.  So with that being said, I agree the win was huge, and a loss would have been devastating, I'm still a little...skeptical.
