Last year when the team traveled east for the Cleveland game then stayed in the east to prepare for the London game, players described that as a bonding experience that helped them gel as a team. Maybe coaches were looking at this as a similar opportunity.

This is much ado about i don’t give a fuck.
The season is disappointing. Idgaf about MexCity vs London vs whatever. Its hardly the point. Its about where the team is going this year, not where the players are going this week. Players expected more, they are disappointed. We expected more, we are disappointed. Onward we must all sludge on together, slathered in this sticky film of disappointment.
and nobody is getting a shower to wash away the stick for another couple months. At times like this i like to ponder the larger point of life - if this is our big worry in life, life must be pretty darn good.“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

The difference here is that the players spend more time on a plane. The Cleveland deal saved them from having two flights across the country. The CO Springs trip adds flight time when they were already happy at home.
It will be interesting to see how it works ... I would think this will add fatigue which will make them less prepared. But I am just a guy with a keypad.

I like our chances for the postseason actually if they can pull off a Mexico City miracle.
That said, your point here is 100% true:

Right now we have a VERY slim shot at postseason unless we win out and we somehow beat the Raiders in the standings.
And im not really willing to even say that we can rattle off 6 wins in a row.
Will Okung be dependable/healthy enough to last? Will DJ come back and be an immediate impact player? Will be stop going into prevent and actually play to win on defense?
these and other question makes remain.

Mexico City is 7,400 feet up.....
There have been no studies on the effects of altitude on 300 pound men playing football.
Offense knows where they are going so there are far fewer wasted steps...... defense is always reacting and chasing, so it requires far more stamina...... running the ball the way TEN did will help if our defense does not bite on short fakes.......leasvijg easy deep throws for mahomes.....

According to Pat Kirwin, the biggest effect is on the endurance of defenders..... especially pass rushers whose job burns more energy than any other on the football field...... it makes pass rush almost impossible..... meaning there will be a lot of deep wide open passes in this game..... Chargers will be trying to burn out the clock and run for 200 plus yards..... Chiefs will be trying to break 30 point barrier before halftime...... forcing Chargers to be in a must throw and throw deep mode...... leaving our bad OL against their pass rush which is much better than raiders who killed us.....

The problem is that the 5-4 Raiders have a super easy end of year schedule, Bengals, Jets, (probable 7-4 going into) Chiefs, Titans, Jags, Chargers, Broncos (hopefully end up 8-8)
That is why that loss on Thursday was so damaging. HH doesn't fall down we win. I also feel if we had 7 days between GB and Oak we would have won.
I personally like that AL brought them to Colorado to get used to the altitude, genius, something I'd expect Reid to do, not us.
