Thread: Chiefs beaten by Raiders

The Faiders finally beat someone. KC lost to Oakland. . . Oakland? Broncs have AFC West lead.

Gotta beat Miami down now and take advantage.

Need Pats to lose and for us to beat the Tuna and we'll be in better shape.

Oakland Raiders' crazy celebration saved by timely timeout

You'll have to excuse the Oakland Raiders for losing their minds celebrating late in Thursday night's 24-20 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. It was their first victory in more than a calendar year.

Still the sight of linebackers Khalil Mack and Sio Moore celebrating a sack 15 yards offside as the clock ran and the Chiefs were getting ready to snap the ball was pretty darn funny.

The sack came on third down, with the Raiders trying to seal a close win. Maybe Mack and Moore thought the sack came on fourth down. Maybe they thought the Chiefs called a timeout, even though they had none left. Maybe the two were so overwhelmed by the moment they forgot what to do next. Either way, the two were doing goodness knows what well behind quarterback Alex Smith as he called for the snap.

I've never heard anyone refer to the Raiders as the smartest team. However...

that was an awesoem sack celebration!

The three defensive penalties (all legit) on one 4th down play just 3 plays before the sack snafu was a nice touch, too. Short of picking Smith up bodily and CARRYING him into their end zone, I don't know what more Oakland could've done to give that game back to KC in the final minute. But they took care of our business FOR us, so yea; too bad they couldn't beat NE for us, too.

I wonder if KC's loss helps us in the long run? I doubt they would have been over looking the Broncos anyway but now they may feel that their trip to the play offs is hanging on this game. When you couple that with how poorly we tend to play in Arrowhead, I am worried.

Denver's not going to give up this game after the egg they layed in st Louis

PFM will have no hurries or sacks, the o-line will be dominant and CJ will rush for 100, PFM throws 8 TDs.

Well, it helps us in the sense we're 3-0 in the division and everyone else has at least 2 losses, including one each to us, so the head-to-head tiebreak's safe, and if we win ANY road division game, we can't lose the second tiebreak either. But I worry EVERY time we go to Arrowhead; it's always a tough place for any visitor (just ask NE,) and we must win out and hope NE loses 2 of their last 6 to regain homefield. And if we're worried about winning the division, the playoffs won't be fun.

Win at home against Miami and at Arrowhead next week and Denver is almost de facto division champs at that point. Four straight years...

Hooray for being a top eight team four years running: That's why we pay PFM $20 million/yr—wait, no: We were ALREADY division champs BEFORE Manning; seems like we ought to do better WITH him.
