Positives. If you can play as badly as KC did and only lose by 3 points, they obviously have talent. Our LB's played pretty well, but I still think Edwards is overrated in coverage. Punting was good.
Negatives. Special teams. DB's. Trent Green. Derrick Alexander. And our OL for not taking out Upshaw after his helmet to helmet hit on Green. Someone does that to your starting QB someone has to retaliate the next play to send a message.
The raider are the better team at this point. They kept fighting and didn't give up.
I hope this game puts an end to the debate over whether it was stupid for Oakland to spend a first round pick on a kicker. He's beaten us in the last minute several times already.

Q: Herm, back on December 25th you were asked if Trent Green was your starter going into next season and you said, ‘yeah, why wouldn’t he be?’ Have you changed your mind on that?
EDWARDS: No, I have not.”
