My math is actually incorrect. However, even if we use the correct number, 20.8 points/Game, I don't think it matters. We aren't winning playoff games against the top echelon of NFL teams scoring 20 points/game. Hell, we couldn't score 20 against a historically bad defense today.
Maybe in the '80s/'90s, but not in 2023. If we played SF tomorrow, they run us out of the building, any building, including Arrowhead.

The Raiders defense now is far from historically bad. Like the Broncos earlier in the year, they’ve made tons of changes that have led to a huge shift in the product on the field.
I don’t think we should have struggled with them like we did but just adding context.
