Todd Peterson's got to go, I've been saying that all along. I had wanted so much to see Tynes prove to be for real, but that didn't materialize. I'd like to see Jarrett Holmes come in for a workout or that kicker from Wisconsin who the Bears cut, but had a great camp.
Still, that being said, we were damn lucky to lose by just 3 points. Oakland's D shut us down, as well as the Chiefs O still in preseason mode (very confusing, very unimpressive, but still one game regardless). Chiefs D played very well for almost 3 quarters, but they ran out of steam from playing so long. You can't expect to win playing D fr 38 out of 60 minutes.
You know, remember this. Peterson makes that 37 yard FG, Chiefs lead 27-24, Raiders ball at the Chiefs 12, with 1:15 left. Do you think for one moment they would have been content with OT? No way. Chances are Gannon would have been able to find Brown or Rice, or would have created a chance on his own and the Raiders would have won 31-27.
I still have faith in the Chiefs. They're going to be a very good team, quite possibly even a playoff team. However, they're not better than the Raiders right now. That's the simple, honest truth.
Here's hoping that the Chiefs improve as the season goes on and we can reviisit Chiefs vs Raiders and who's better...
