OK, I believe that. But teams do get mentally tired after expending energy-- that's why all athletes and teams have ups and downs, like pitchers in baseball. I guess what I was really trying to say is that Denver expended lots of mental energy against KC last week (and quite a bit against Miami the week before), and will definitely have to rev up for SD next week. Denver , therefore, has legitimate reasons not to be at their best this Sunday, notwithstanding their professionalism, dedication, skill etc. Like New England was against KC, or Denver against St. Louis (and to some extent new england where they were God awful)-- teams have off days. I realize I may be grasping at straws, but Buffalo is pretty good, and if Denver has an "off" day, that would help a bunch and give us a better chance of winning. That's all I was suggesting.
