Make all the excuses you want - the margin for error in this division is ZERO.
Y'all have spotted the division a win. Oh sure, the Raiders lost - but they lost to a division opponent.
Dropping a game you shouldn't all but ensures you aren't winning the division at this point. And given that y'all have a 33 year old QB who seems to be on the decline and has a cap hit that will only increase in the coming years, you can't afford to be blowing even a single season.
The Broncos, even if they're a playoff caliber team, aren't a good enough team to just outrun the other 3 teams in the division. 1 week into the season and you're already behind the 8 ball.
On second thought - I'd probably be busy making excuses as well...
