I would prefer not to go there. Let's not cheapen ourselves by questioning a field goal.

The Raiders outplayed and outlasted us. Our Offense got very little going all day, our Special Teams were less than special [with the exception of great punting by Stryzinski] and our Defense was worn out in the 4th quarter.

The Raiders beat us, even though we benefited from a bad call on Garner's catch and a very friendly spot on Richardson's catch. Sure, you can then bring up the [2] or [3] Intentional Groundings that Gannon got away with and the holding calls that went un-flagged [on both sides of the ball, based on the stretched jerseys I saw all game long], but that just keeps the spiral going.

The Raiders won and the field goal was good. Unpalatable, I know, but close your eyes and swallow. That greasy lump will fade as the Chiefs continue their rebuilding season and get better as the year marches on.

We are better than this.

Giving the Raiders credit, even though it hurts all the way down to the bone.
