Chiefs I don't like this game. - Page 4

Micjones · 11-05-2010, 07:39 AM

I've tried all week to ease my mind about this football game.
Unfortunately, I've been unsuccessful at doing so.

Thus far this year I've seen the Chiefs do two things:
1. Prove that they can play with the best of the best in the NFL.
2. Play well enough to expect them to contend for this division and get a post-season berth.

What they have not done, though, is play well enough on the road to beat a good football team. We failed to capitalize on two great opportunities to win games in Indianapolis and Houston. Good football teams win those games.

If this team is to be taken seriously in the post-season...
We need to beat a good team on the road. The road is where we may very well have to win once the playoffs get started.

When the season started, winning 6 games was my expectation for this team. I thought winning 8 would be the high watermark and would prove we were moving forward in this rebuilding process. Given how well this team has played... I expect them now to win 9-10 games. Winning in Oakland could give us a chance to win 11 and maybe get a home playoff game and a chance at a first-round bye.

I'm not sure why I don't feel good about this matchup in Oakland.
We've played better football teams, on the road, and narrowly missed out on a win.

We're better at running the football.
We're better at stopping the run.
We're better in the Special Teams department.
We're better coached.
With Asomugha out & Lilja back we have an advantage in the passing game.

That's alot to be confident about, but...I just don't feel that way.
Hate to say that.

Cassel and this passing game need to show up on Sunday.
We know both teams are going to pound the ball, but I'm not sure that that's where this game will be won. We're gonna have to have a few big pass plays to sustain drives and keep pace on the scoreboard. If there's anything the Raiders can do, lately, it's score points (92 in the last 2 games). Granted those came against a struggling road team (SEA) and a bad bad Denver team...It's hard to tell just how much the last two weeks mean.

I've tried to tune out the naysayers... Buffalo took Baltimore to the wire too and they needed the extra period as well to win.

I've also tried to turn a deaf ear to Chiefs fans who aren't willing to be honest about the chinks in this team's armor.

We're a good football team...I'm convinced.
Now we need to prove that we're a team that can step into the playoffs and win a big game outside the four walls of Arrowhead Stadium.

Now is as good a time as any.

Well we match pretty good against da Fadiers .. Usually they shoot themselves in the foot .. we just have to control the clock and play smart football and that should win this game for us .......

**BigMeatballDave** · 11-05-2010, 08:53 AM

Actually, I feel good about this one.

34-20 Chiefs

Pablo · 11-05-2010, 08:54 AM

I'm really not scared of this game.

Because of 4 players. Charles, Jones, Flowers, and Dorsey.

Those four guys do their job and we're in fine position to win this one fellas.

Your guys team last season was not as good as this season. THAT said, there is still reason to worry b/c the Raiders team you're about to face is SMOKING hot and played the same competition the past two weeks that in on par w/ the competition you guys have all got your wins from. Shitty football teams.

False hope is false hope and I know you all can throw stats at my face all damn day. **** stats. I know what I see and the Chiefs aren't nearly as good as some are making them out to be. That said, I think the Chiefs win this game.

LOL. Someone lack's a lil knowledge. Oh well. I hope your offensive and defensive line plays shitty. If that happens, and those 4 are OK, we'll win w/ ease.

QFT. And until that stops happening they'll all scare me too.

Man no wonder all most people do here is talk shit. They can't talk football. Here, get out of this thread and let the people who know the game handle the discussions.

Oakland has the tendency to do this also. If both teams do happen to be this way, we're in route for a VERY sloppy game.

Championship · 11-05-2010, 09:10 AM

This guy knows what's up.

Oakland is simply the more talented football team across the board.

QB: Raiders > Chiefs
RB: Raiders > Chiefs (Our RBs get in the end zone and catch passes. Yours dont)
WR: Raiders > Chiefs (Dwayne Bowe and Dexter McCluster?

)
TE: Raiders > Chiefs
Oline = About even

Dline: Raiders > Chiefs (Glenn Dorsey is a solid player, still a bust though since he was drafted so high. Tyson Jackson is a MAJOR Bust. The Raiders have a future HOF player in Richard Seymour. Impressive rookie in LaMarr Houston, good veteran in Tommy Kelly. And we have two great defensive ends in Matt Shaughnessy and Trevor Scott. We're tied for 3rd in the NFL in sacks for a season)

LB: Raiders > Chiefs (You have Tamba Hali and a bunch of scrubs. We have Rolando McClain and Kamerion Wimley. You lose)
Secondary: Raiders > Chiefs (Nnamdi > Flowers. Stanford Routt > Brandon Carr. Tyvon Brach > Eric Bust. Michael Huff > Kendrick Lewis)

Special Teams: Raiders > Chiefs

Coaching: Raiders > Chiefs

Owner: Raiders > Chiefs

Fans: Raiders > Chiefs

California > Missouri or Kansas or wherever the hell you Hillbillys live.

We simply can not expect to win by just runnung the ball up and down the field.

But even if we do win this game, and continue to win games that we should win, we still won't be a factor in the playoffs with Cassel at QB, so at the end of the day, it simply doesn't matter.

You're about as fun as gum in my hair. Did you by any chance catch the Philadelphia Flyers last season?

you lost to 49ers

...you lost to the Cardinals

RAIDER951 · 11-05-2010, 09:18 AM

I can't even bare the thought of a Raider team that played the Whiners showing up for this one. If the team from the last two weeks shows up then I agree with the OP, you have something to worry about. The team that stops the run and wins the turnover battle will prevail.

Either way, Oakland fans are jacked for this one so the Coliseum should be a great environment.
