Yeah they do.
I rewatched our game in SD that year and predicted that we would lose. The reason is that we didn't beat SD, SD beat themselves. SD was moving the ball without issue. Then Gates fumbled and errant throws by Rivers, that just killed drives and momentum. Even then they was 1 play away from winning that game.
We didn't dominate SD, we squeaked out a win.
The playoff game, the players played like they were overconfident. We played well in the 1st half, but then Gio's fumble and then everything just started to fall apart. Dalton looked to be the only one out there trying that game. Well Sanu as well. The coaches stopped running in the 2nd half and many believe that Gruden threw that game so that he could get the Washington job or move on faster.
