NFL.com Video Preview of Chiefs at Raiders
Video here
Pretty cool video, great comments from Lenny Dawson on Thiggy. Chiefs are NOT the same team that lost 23-8 in September. Stopping the run is all KC has to do. Russell's #s are ice cold, including a 6-17 for 55 passing yards performance against the Chiefs. KC is averaging 378 YPG and 24 PPG over the last 4 contests - and have beaten Oakland 5 straight times in the Black Hole. A real test for the young (18 rookies) Chiefs roster - and the defense that only has to keep the Raider rushing attack under 200 yards to win. I like the Chiefs in this one, 27-17. Thigpen 21-36, 270 yds, 2 TDs. KC Star preview here. Last edited by KCJohnny; 11-27-2008 at 07:47 AM.. |

The Chiefs are going to get stomped. Again.
Our defense is THAT bad. |

Nah. Thigpen will get his points. Chiefs will score at least 24 which should be enough.

The one thing about our defense that I don't get is why we are in a zone constantly. I know Herm and Gun came out and said that they like to keep it simple for the young guys, and the fact that we are seemingly plugging in someone new every week, but man, these guys are S-L-O-W. Nobody can get there on a blitz, and nobody can get to their area fast enough in zone. I'd just as soon change it up and blitz more. Better to die by the blitz than to die sitting back watching it come at you and still not being able to stop it.
IF, and a big IF, Russell can manage the game like he did against the Broncos, we aren't going to win. BUt the fact that they pulled it off IN Denver doesn't give me hope. But I'll agree that Thigpen will throw for 250+ and get his 2-3 TD's. I'd really like to see both Bowe and Gonzalez end up with 80 catches and 10 TD's apiece for the year. |

but I don't see how our D will stop Chicken Legs McFadden and Fargus..... and no D rush...which leaves JaMarcus Bust to waddle around a pick us apart.

We have become a takeaway machine since September (21 5th best in NFL) and also scoring a heckuva lot more than 12.5 PPG like we were then. I think that may tilt things our way a bit.

Does it matter? 1 team has 3 wins the only 1 (out of the the 25).

W/L notwithstanding, the offense is much better today than it was back in September. I don't see the Chiefs having any trouble scoring 24-30 points. The challenge will be holding the Raiders to under 30 in the first half.
