Emma said:Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but I recall a season or 2 ago a statistic came out that showed that the side who played the warriors generally had a shocker the following week, regardless of whether they won or lost against the warriors. The warriors are a huge, physical side so it wouldn't surprise me if the players were carrying a lot of bumps and bruises from last weeks game, despite beating them so soundly.
Obviously it's no excuse entirely for playing the way they did, but it could at least have been a contributing factor.
Yep, that used to be the "Broncos curse" too. There was a time between 1998-2000 where it was something ridiculous like 90% of teams who played the Broncos lost the following week.
