Here it goes ONE LAST time. Do the Chargers get as pumped for Chiefs or Broncos week.....how about the Broncos for Chargers or Chiefs week.....and the Chiefs for Chargers or Broncos the same as they would when they play the Raiders? No. The moniker of "Raiders week" or in other words "_____ week" is reserved by the other teams in the AFC West for the Raiders. Sure, there is a hatred and a focus for the other rival teams in the division, but it is well known that there is a special hatred held for the Raiders.
The Raiders and there fans don't have a"special" hatred for any one team in the west.....we just hate them all the same and want to crush them all on the way to the ultimate goal.
When the Raiders were down those eight years, beating hated rivals was great but not satisfying.
Just win baby!
