Chiefs @Raiders: Game Notes from the Dark Side
 

* Raiders HC Allen announces this game will be used to "evaluate young talent."

* Raiders commentator George Atkinson announces "This will be an audition game" for backups and rookies.

* Raiders bring cornerback Chimdi Chekwa up from the practice squad to play against Chiefs.

* Raiders announce that OT rookie Tony Bergstrom will play guard vs Kansas City, a position he has never played before.

* Rookie defensive tackle Christo Bilukidi returned to work after missing practice Wednesday, but expects to get "evaluation time" against the Chiefs.

* Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain is back from suspension, but has been relegated to playing running back on the scout team. He will be allowed to play on Special Teams against the Chiefs. When asked about it by the media in the locker room, McClain replied, "I ain't got nothing to say about anything."

* Setback for Seymour: Starting defensive tackle Richard Seymour has missed five straight games with a hamstring injury, and his quest to play Sunday against Kansas City took a hit Thursday during practice. "Well, he had a little bit of a setback today as far as the hamstring is concerned," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said. "We'll evaluate him as we finish out the week, but it kind of grabbed him a little bit, so we'll see."

* Raiders safety Michael Huff will start at cornerback.

* Raiders leading tackler, starting strong safety Tyvon Branch, missed his third straight day of practice with ankle and neck injuries.

* Coach Allen said of QB Terrell Pryor: "The biggest thing is to start getting him into the game a little bit and let him see a little game action. I’m not ready to say that he’d be a starter."

* The Oakland Raiders defense ranks dead last in the NFL in Points Allowed.

* The Oakland Raiders have the draft tiebreaker over the Kansas City Chiefs due to Strength of Schedule

* The Chiefs have won eight of their past nine games at Oakland.

Spread: Chiefs -1

After opening as a pick 'em in most sportsbooks, bettors have backed Quinn and made the Chiefs favorites coming into Sunday's contest.

You still can't out suck us

Both teams should be in FULL SUCK mode tomorrow in hopes of losing the game.

And we have Brady Quinn throwing to Dexter McCluster, Jon Baldwin and Jamar Newsome.

**** you.

It's amazing how the raiders always find a way to screw us whether we are good or bad.

Have you guys seen who we will be starting at some key spots? There's a slim to no chance of tomorrows game being successful.

Sadly, Dennis Allen knows he'll be back next year and knows he needs to lose the game and the rest of the season to get Geno.

More Sadly, Crennel knows he won't be back next year and wants to win in the worst way. He does not care about the first pick. He'd prefer to have a meaningless 7th pick if he could get three more wins on his horrible HC record.

great, they're tanking.

Carson Palmer is worlds better than Brady Quinn, so unless Palmer is benched or purposely throws INTs, the Chiefs will lose.

Don't forget that Jamaal had FOUR YARDS against Oakland last time.

The NFL should try to get an injunction against the Chiefs and the Raiders if they're still thinking about playing this game.

don't screw this up, chefs!!!

seriously though, which suck-bags should we be "evaluating"?

Oh yeah.... I forgot to add this part...

Coach Allen said of QB Terrell Pryor: "The biggest thing is to start getting him into the game a little bit and let him see a little game action. I’m not ready to say that he’d be a starter."

This game will be all about which team wants Geno Smith more.

Yeah, we'll see.

I doubt he plays more than a few snaps.

Unless you're up by 17. :evil:

Raiders safety Michael Huff will start at cornerback.


lol. and i thought the Chiefs were bad

I don't think the Raiders want a QB. Really. Raiders fans seem done with Palmer (happy with that trade now?) But I don't think the team is done with Palmer. Even with the first pick I think the Raiders go D. Smith isn't a sure fire first overall pick, and I don't think its a given that whoever has the frist pick is taking him.

Palmer is due $13 mil in 2013.

Talk about headquarters is that Raiders will refuse to pay him that cuz they are in rebuild mode & Carson will be too old by the time GM McKenzie gets his personnel in place.

Well then, his signing is as bad as drafting Russell. You gave up so much and got nothing. Good luck with the next QB.

Palmer is due $13 mil in 2013.

What kind of idiot gives a washed up QB that kind of contract? Oh wait.........

Quit blatantly throwing games, you douchebags.

The Faid are pulling moves that only returning coaches pull when the suckage is this great. In my humble opinion, the Chiefs lack of similar moves indicates that Pioli and crew know there will be no tomorrow. They're refusing to play Stanzi and a few others because they aren't interested in providing tape for the next GM and staff. This gives me the warm fuzzies...

We are without Bowe.....


the stars seem to be aligning for the Chiefs!


Go Raiders! Please **** us up!

They usually inadvertently throw games, have been for years. Quite the change for them.

you sure about that?

Palmer is grossly, grossly, grossly overrated and his stats this year simply mean NOTHING.

He is better than Quinn...but if our defense plays well he's pretty easy to shut down.

if that's the case...Clark is an idiot for not firing Pioli and demanding a tank job like the Raiders.

Dude, last week our defense was raped by CLEVELAND.

this is the most important game in years for the chiefs

we have a chance to accomplish something meaningful...just lose you bastards

lose with all your heart

hey don't mistake my comment for saying I think our defense or scheme is any good

I'm just saying Palmer is really, really, really bad

And he's still the best QB on the field by a large margin.

I just hope these young Oakland players are hungry men...

I also think it's hilarious the Raiders gave up a 1st and 2nd for Palmer who is probably the 25th best QB in the NFL.

I guess I just can't consider 1 shitty QB being that much better than another shitty QB...

but you may be right, I hope he plays lights out

I'M ALL IN FOR GSIII

The Chiefs "d" is worse...

Reighters is itching for 6-10

I just think it's great that our rivarly is down to this! The Raiders punting?!?!? WTF! **** YOU RAIDERS! GOD DAMNIT! and vice versa

The Raiders fans spamming us about how great Palmer was earlier this year was as funny as when Mecca used to do the same thing.

After that knee injury he was just pure shit...

Remember when you thought that trade was a great idea?

Ole R8ers....forever immortalized in my signature for his love of Palmer.

ROFL

Surely if a team intentionally tanks games there has to be repercussions from the league.

Yeah. They get Andrew Luck.

pretty much

well that was scripted at birth...

the NFL has great story lines!!

Resistable force against movable object. this game could be all kneeldowns with no punts.

that would be great

a tie

Jacksonville picks #1

Time to find another team... This Chief team sucks, it's been sucking since Nixon was president

Whens the last time the Chiefs ever won anything of value?

Hell, the AFC Trophy is named after our late owner and were the only team that doesnt even have one.. hell, even the Raiders got that trophy 10 years ago

You guys had a #1 overall pick and sucked at it. It's our turn.

Go to the back of the ****ing line, douchebags

That's right! We suck! Get pumped up to beat us!

Did I ever tell you that everybody from Oakland sucks cocks in prison? It's true. If you guys don't want to be so gay, why don't you prove it by beating us on Sunday?

You hear that Raiders?

If you let the Chiefs beat you, it's a sign that you love the cock.

**** this shit, lets get David Stern to fine them~

I'm going to get to go to this game as a surprise birthday present. It'll be the first time I've seen the Raiders play in their own home. I'm actually looking forward to seeing my beloved Chiefs. I'll probably just concentrate on how well our offensive linemen block and our linebackers and DBs do their jobs..

Do that paint your belly thing again!

Hey Duck,

You still driving that Chiefs red pick up truck?

Luz
inquiring minds want to know...

lol... it's good to be a Broncos fan:

http://images.wikia.com/glee/images/...inning-GIF.gif

Key will be to have the ball last in regulation. Put Quinn in the shot gun formation. Have him turn and sprint out of the back of the endzone... outrunning the entire Faider defense who will be frantically chasing him trying to stop him... to take a safety as the clock hits 0:00 and lose 2-0!

LMAO :LOL:

I would so love to see this happen...a tie game or something, or maybe ahead by one point.

LOL! I'm not the sort to wear my team's colors, especially not on my belly in a stadium full of parolees. ;)

That made me laugh.

Literally. I chuckled when I read this.

I don't think either team has a major interest in winning again this year.

our q ueefs will win this game. its what we do. were great at ****ing everything up. raiders will get geno and rape us for the next decade with him at qb

That was a vicious rumor dispelled long ago. Can't believe you still remember that lie! I curse thee & command genital warts to infect thy butt most painfully....

Yeah but we had Montgomery Burns running our organization then.

One more snippet: “General manager Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen are intent upon taking an extensive look at every player on the 53-man roster, especially those that haven’t received much playing the first 13 games.”

WOO-HOO! Matt Leinart and Terelle Pryor, here we go!

yeah, I'm calling bullshit on this. I know it's a 'duh,' but it had to be said.

What exactly are you calling bullshit on?

Suck fest 2012.

let's go Chiefs - kick some ass!

We suck.

brother man, It's your attitude that sucks, we probably win tomorrow, positive thoughts and quit acting like you don't care about this team. Wear your colors cowboy, always!

This might be the perfect time to go to a game in Oakland. You could wear all black, scream your head off cheering for the Raiders to win, and telling the chiefs how bady they suck. And it would make you the truest fan KC has ever known.

you can stay in chokeland jerk

Toilet Bowl 2012 in t-minus 8:44.

whoot..

Do I smell a Pawnmower mult?

:LOL:

Not quite sure whats happening here?

Quick! Read up on the past week's threads before kickoff - the upcoming Official Game Thread will be far less confusing to you then....

Raiders are tanking this game.

Spread: Chiefs -1

After opening as a pick 'em in most sportsbooks, bettors have backed Quinn and made the Chiefs favorites coming into Sunday's contest.

Why Kansas City Covers

The Raiders have been the worst team in the league over the last six weeks. They have gone 0-6 straight up and 0-5-1 against the spread during this stretch. They have lost five of those six games by 10 or more points, and they are giving up a ridiculous 35.8 points per game during this skid. You could certainly make the argument that Kansas City should be favored given Oakland's recent play.

That’s especially the case when you look at how well the road team has fared in this rivalry. The road squad has won 11 of the last 12 meetings, which is absolutely astounding. Dating back further, the road team is 21-5-1 against the spread in the last 27 meetings. Kansas City is 8-1 against the spread in its last 9 meetings in Oakland.

This play falls into a system that is 23-4 (85.2%) ATS since 1983. It tells us to bet on all teams where the line is +3 to -3 (KANSAS CITY) – revenging an upset loss against opponent as a favorite, terrible team, winning 25% or less of their games, in the second half of the season.

Oakland is 22-46-1 against the spread in its last 69 home games. The Raiders are 18-42-1 against the spread in their last 61 vs. a team with a losing record. Oakland is 1-11 against the spread in home games vs. very bad defensive teams who give up 27 or more points/game since 1992. Kansas City is 10-1 against the spread in road games off a road blowout loss by 14 points or more since 1992.
