![]() The Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders have been rivals for some time but that rivalry was taken to new heights in the 1990s with Marty Schottenheimer as the head coach of the Chiefs. He demanded that his players dislike the Raiders as he did and soon the Raider-hater culture was born. Marty talked this week with Kevin Kietzmann of 810 WHB's Between the Lines and offered up his thoughts on Raider week. "It was different," Marty said of Raider week. "I'd walk in there in the meetings during Raider week and before I could open my mouth the guys would look around and say, 'Hey guys, the coach is here. Let's go!. It's Raider week!" As someone who's best memories are the '90s Chiefs, I can remember this feeling Raider week meant something a lot more than it does now but that's because both teams were actually good. Of course that didn't stop Marty from going 18-3 against them those years. Here's what Marty had to say when asked about his dislike for the Raiders. "I have always just been very uncomfortable about the fact that the Raiders management has continued to steadfastly to feel as though they're better than the rest. And I'm not necessarily just talking about the on the field aspect of it. Al Davis made signfiicant contributions to the American Football League. The thing that always troubled me is that they have these issues there were being ovted on during the league meetings for one thing or another. If there were 28 teams, there would be 27-1 and the Raiders would be the team that would vote in the opposite way to the unanimous sense of everyone else. Of course the roles were changed and ultimately would happen is that Al Davis was going to go and in effect keep these issues from being unanimous and that always bothered me. He recalls one game that occurred before he became head coach in '89 -- the Chiefs were pretty miserable during the '80s -- that has stuck with him to this day. I remember one game -- it occurred before I became the coach -- but I remember watching it and studying it on tape. The game where the Raiders came into Arrowhead and were rather belligerent about the way they were going about their business and I think they won rather handily and that really kind of stuck with me. I've always thought the league was more important as a whole than any individual team and I don't think the Raiders ever felt that way. He also shared his philosophy on how to beat the Raiders and it's very entertaining. Essentially, keep playing hard and the Raiders will eventually beat themselves. As a football team there was a philosophy relative to how you beat the Raiders. That was you went into the game with the understanding that the first half would come and go and you would want to stay in the contest but if you stayed the course into the fourth quarter you would find a way to somehow beat them or they'd beat themselves and you'd end up the winner anyway. That's the way they functioned in my view. I think you could bring Marty in as a motivational speaker during every Raiders week and he'd get the troops fired up to the point they'd be ready to break out of the locker room. Marty never hid his feelings for the Raiders and I think that will be one of the lasting memories of him in Kansas City. |

I guess you can get all hyped up on it....
But since Marty left, they have won more playoff games, won an AFC championship and got beat in a Superbowl... We haven't done much except rehash coaches and QBs |

The Raiders in crunch time have been impressive this season. The way they've kept fighting and won games in the last 2:00 this season has been almost as impressive as how the Chargers have been losing games in an epic fashion.
Is this one in KC or Oakland? In either case, they likely put up around 34 points and the chances of us matching that are just so slim. |

I hate the Broncos way more than I hate the Raiders. Like, it's not even in the same universe.

Yeap and I think that is how it should be. They are just the bigger rival now. Raiders have sucked for so long that its hard to get real fired up. This year could change that but recently this is how its been.

Isn't every week "Raiders Week" for a Raiders fan?

This is a big game. With the Donks loss the division is still in play which to listen and read about it the Donks already had it locked up.

We're only a quarter way through the season, but this is right. This game for the Chiefs has a real "fork in the road" feel to it, especially coming off the ass beating we got in Pittsburgh. Lose this game, and it could start a spiral. Win this game, and we can build momentum.

Not sure which is more unlikely:
Alex Smith throwing a pass over 15 yards or the _efense holding the Raiders under 30. |
