Raiders' like vanilla, especially on offense

Full Story Here If it looked as if the Chargers defense knew what was coming yesterday from the Oakland offense, well, there was a reason.

"We felt we had a good game plan against them," safety Jerry Wilson said. "We studied them pretty well, and the things we studied were the things we saw. They pretty much went according to what we saw on film."

Previous teams the Chargers played this season looked familiar, but not identical, to what the Chargers saw on film. The Raiders were almost like Memorex – an exact copy.

No wonder San Diego had little trouble handling Oakland's offense, holding the Raiders to seven points and 126 total yards through the first 42 minutes. By the time the Chargers stepped off the gas, the offense had rolled up a 42-7 lead en route to a 42-14 blowout at Qualcomm Stadium.
