Weather forecast: http://a.espncdn.com/i/weather/mobile/85.pngPERFECT!, 70 degrees, 10% chance of rain

Line: Chiefs -8, Over/Under: 41

Notable Quotables:
Chiefs:
"I'm all about rivalries. I get it. It's exciting. I know our fans are going to be crazy. Our players are going to be fired up for it. This type of rivalry gets your juices flowing and gets them flowing early. The black and silver, if anybody is wearing it (on Sunday) be careful." -- Chiefs head coach Andy Reid on the Chiefs upcoming game against Oakland.

Raiders:
"It's a huge confidence builder for our team. I thought it was the most complete game we've played all year long. We understand the challenge we face going up against Kansas City," -- Raiders coach Dennis Allen on what the San Diego win does for his team.

ESPN Game Preview (http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/nflpreview?gameId=331013012):

Although the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs are off to their best start in 10 years, coach Andy Reid thinks his team has plenty of issues to work on as they head into their first AFC West contest.

The Chiefs look to keep rolling by ending a six-game home losing streak to the rival Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

Kansas City (5-0) got the go-ahead score on a run by Jamaal Charles with 6:23 left and the Chiefs followed with a pair of interceptions to preserve a 26-17 win at Tennessee on Sunday.

Charles ran for 108 yards and a touchdown and added 37 yards on five catches. He's fifth in the NFL with 397 rushing yards and leads the team with 28 receptions, though hasn't been nearly as effective in recent meetings with the Raiders (2-3).

Charles rushed for 14 yards on 14 carries and finished with 38 total yards as Kansas City dropped both matchups with Oakland last season.

This year, however, been a much different story for the Chiefs. After a 2-14 finish in 2012, they're trying to win their first six games for the first time since a 9-0 start in 2003.

"Listen, we're 5-0 and we're not ashamed of that," Reid said. "But we also know that we got a ton of room to improve. It's important that we continue to do that."

Quarterback Alex Smith has stabilized the most critical position for the Chiefs in his first season in Kansas City, but he'll be looking for a better performance after going 20 of 39 for 245 yards with an interception Sunday.

Smith faced Oakland twice while with San Francisco, throwing for 361 yards with five touchdowns and one pick in a pair of victories.

He could be missing one of his top targets in Donnie Avery, who is recovering from a bruised shoulder. Tight end Anthony Fasano is also uncertain to play, fellow tight end Travis Kelce may miss the rest of the season after having arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and right tackle Eric Fisher is likely out because of a concussion.

The Chiefs would like to get receiver Dwayne Bowe more involved in the offense, as he has just 17 catches for 183 yards and two touchdowns, and a matchup with Oakland might provide the right opportunity. The Raiders gave up 391 passing yards in a 27-17 victory over San Diego last week.

Kansas City went 1 for 4 in the red zone and 1 for 12 on third-down conversions against the Titans.

"You can't make a living doing that, right?" Reid said. "You have to make sure you're more efficient on third down, and you have to shorten the third downs a little bit, too."

Looking to stay tied with Denver atop the AFC West, Kansas City begins a three-game stretch at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs, though, have averaged 12.3 points during their six-game home skid to Oakland.

The Raiders forced five turnovers against the Chargers and have eight takeaways in their last three games after recording none in the first two.

The Chiefs are also playing well defensively, allowing a league-low 11.6 points per game and ranking seventh in total defense at 312.8 yards a contest.

They could receive a tough test from Pryor, who went 18 of 23 for 221 yards and two touchdowns last week. His 135.7 passer rating was the highest for a Raider since Rich Gannon in 2002.

"He's probably leaps and bounds ahead of where we thought he would be at this point in time," coach Dennis Allen said. "The key for him is he continues to work and continues to strive to get better on the little things."

In his last two starts bridging a one-game absence due to a concussion, Pryor has connected on 72.5 percent of his attempts for 502 yards with three scores and no picks. He also leads the Raiders with 229 rushing yards on 37 carries.

Matt Flynn, beaten out for the starting job by Pryor in the preseason, was released this week.

Rashad Jennings started for the injured Darren McFadden and ran for 41 yards on 10 carries against San Diego before suffering his own hamstring injury. McFadden practiced for a third straight day Friday and continues to make progress, while Jennings is questionable.

Nice write up, TopekaRoy.

Found the injury report pretty interesting. Their prize center, Stefen Wisiniewski, is out...That means the backup gets to line up against Poe.

Chiefs-Raiders scouting report (http://www.kansascity.com/2013/10/12/4548658/chiefs-raiders-scouting-report.html)
October 12

When the Chiefs run
EDGE >> RAIDERS
Jamaal Charles, despite the painful blisters on his feet, leads the AFC in rushing but is averaging a pedestrian — for him — 4.3 yards per carry and has yet to break off a signature big run. His longest run is 24 yards. The Raiders rank 11th against the run and have held their opponents to a 3.7-yard average and long run of 19 yards.

When the Chiefs pass
EDGE >> RAIDERS
Alex Smith is coming off his least effective performance of the season, completing just 20 of 39 passes for 245 yards and an INT. He was fortunate another pass or two wasn’t picked. Smith did connect with Donnie Avery on a couple of 40-yard plus passes, but Avery is battling a shoulder injury. This would be a good week for Dwayne Bowe to break out. The Chiefs rank 20th in passing, and the Raiders, largely because of a game against Denver, are tied for 21st in pass defense. Oakland did not intercept a pass in its first four games but picked off San Diego’s Philip Rivers three times last week.

When the Raiders run
EDGE >> CHIEFS
Darren McFadden, who has been effective against the Chiefs when healthy, missed last week's game because of a hamstring injury, and his backup, Rashad Jennings, is also bothered by his hamstring. QB Terrelle Pryor, running the read option or scrambling, leads the Raiders in rushing and is averaging 6.2 yards a pop. The Raiders are banged up in the offensive line, as center Stefen Wisniewski missed last weeks game because of a sprained right knee, and as did right tackle Tony Pashos, who had a groin issue. A makeshift line won’t be able to handle Chiefs NT Dontari Poe and company.

When the Raiders pass
EDGE >> CHIEFS
Pryor, who has made just five NFL starts, is starting to blossom. He has completed 68.3 percent of his passes and has thrown 75 straight without an INT. His 135.7 passer rating last week was the best by a Raiders QB since Rich Gannon’s 138.9 in 2002. Pryor has been sacked 11 times in four starts this season, and the Chiefs, who lead the NFL with 21 sacks and rank No. 4 in the NFL against the pass, should be able to put heat on Pryor and force him into mistakes.

Special teams
EDGE >> CHIEFS
The Chiefs’ special teams have produced two momentum-seizing touchdowns in the last two weeks — Dexter McCluster’s 89-yard punt return against the Giants and Marcus Cooper’s recovery of a muffed punt at Tennessee. Punter Dustin Colquitt’s average of 41.8 yards has been affected by a sore knee, but he still has planted a NFL-most 15 punts inside the 20. Oakland’s Sebastian Janikowski made nine field goals against the Chiefs last season, including five in a 15-0 win at Oakland. The Chiefs’ Ryan Succop is 10 of 12 this season, with both misses from beyond 50 yards.


Coaching
EDGE >> CHIEFS
If the season were to end today, the Chiefs’ Andy Reid would be a near-unanimous pick as NFL coach of the year (folks in New Orleans may disagree). Reid has pushed all the right buttons this season, and Raiders’ second-year coach Dennis Allen last week expressed his admiration for how quickly Reid has turned around a 2-14 disaster from a year ago.


X-factor
EDGE >> CHIEFS
The Arrowhead faithful will be trying to set a record for the loudest crowd noise at an outdoor sporting event and even brought the Guinness folks to town to document the attempt. Reid is relishing the opportunity to coach in the Chiefs-Raiders rivalry and has already worked up the Chiefs fans into a frenzy with his comments about how anyone wearing silver and black better be careful.


Bottom line: Chiefs 27-23


The Raiders’ six-game winning streak at Arrowhead defies description. It’s time the Chiefs beat Oakland at home in the first of a season-defining three-game homestand.

[SloJimFizz]

GO CHIEFS!!!!!
This game has me a bit nervous cause its the freakin Raiders and they always show up some how against the Chiefs.
Contain Pryor and it will not be 7 in row at Arrowhead for them.

[brdempsey69]

Smith faced Oakland twice while with San Francisco, throwing for 361 yards with five touchdowns and one pick in a pair of victories.

He could be missing one of his top targets in Donnie Avery, who is recovering from a bruised shoulder. Tight end Anthony Fasano is also uncertain to play, fellow tight end Travis Kelce may miss the rest of the season after having arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and right tackle Eric Fisher is likely out because of a concussion.

Avery had two light practices and a full practice on Friday and is listed as probable. Fisher had 3 full practices and is also listed as probable. Fasano did not practice at all and is listed as doubtful.

Let's hope Alex keeps up his previous work against the Raiders and lights them up today.

[iratefan]

This game also has me nervous but im expecting the chiefs to come out in a big way at home with this whole noise record nonsense hopefully motivating them to play their hearts out. This is a big time test for Pryor and he will likely catch some of the national stage in the QB scene as an up-n-comer if he comes out with an impressive win at arrowhead. Weather conditions at arrowhead are fair and favorable for the chiefs offense who wont have to deal with slippery footballs. After rewatching the titans game im really glad to have Fisher back as stephenson wasnt doing much better. Andy has been doing his homework so i hope he has these boys prepared for another fast and accurate QB. Previous contests between these teams over the years at arrowhead has always been a tale of a raiders elevated defense. They seem to thrive at arrowhead in that hostile environment and show up with CONSTANT pressure on the qb. so this is going to be a big test for the o-line and alex smith to think on his feet. Im expecting a good and close game. Ive personally felt that this of all the games we have before the bye was the biggest trap game since we started winning enough to consider such a thing. Its about time the chiefs come out and curb stomp the raiders and reclaim their dominance and respect at home against this organization.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Control Pryor..control rariders!!!! It's that simple!. Pressure him and collapse the pocket.. keep someone just past line as a spy the whole game!@

[kcvet]

http://distilleryimage10.s3.amazonaws.com/08af7c102fd911e3a57122000a1fbe0e_7.jpg

its in their blood. we'll take em

[ctchiefsfan]

Raider Day in KC! If ever there was a game we REALLY needed to win, then this is it!

[brdempsey69]

I really believe if the Chiefs score 20 or more points somehow, then the Chiefs win. The Chiefs haven't scored more than 17 in the previous 6 contests at Arrowhead against the Raiders. That won't get it done.

The Chiefs O-Line must show up today and open some running lanes for Charles and protect Alex Smith. In fact, the Chiefs must win the war in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

Time to put an end to the Raiders win streak at Arrowhead and this Chiefs team is the team to do it.

[kcvet]

http://www.uaudio.com/media/blog/2010/05/support_1.jpg

Arrowhead goes for the record today. 137 Decibels

[matthewschiefs]

No Flowers today bummer

[brdempsey69]

No Flowers today bummer

Agreed, but they have to let him heal for the 2nd half of the season and the bye week on November 10 will be sooooooo welcome for the Chiefs walking wounded.

Cooper has played well & hopefully he'll keep it up today. Robinson should see some spot duty. Overall, the other DB's that are going to play have to step up and take up the slack of Flowers absence.

[Justin5772002]

I don't like that every week half of our team is hurt, but I finally get to watch a game! LETS GO CHIEFS!!!

[matthewschiefs]

I finally get the game on tv as well so no dealing with streams for me :)

[Lord-Chiefy]

Flowers was practicing but then in a hurting is other knee in practice

[Lord-Chiefy]

The absolute way we're going to beat this team today is to keep prior contained and put pressure on him collapse a pocket do not let him get outside and online stay tight

[jason1981]

I dont like this new format. Once I get used to it. It will be beter.

We need to blow the 136 decibel so it cant be broken again.

I have faith in cooper stepping in for flowers but not daunta robinson.

Im glad we jave a byw week before denver just so we can get healthy.

[brdempsey69]

Most of the points that the Raiders scored last week against SD came off turnovers. They haven't lit anybody up with their Offense. The Chiefs simply need to take care of the football.

The Chiefs are WAY overdue to lay a drubbing on the Raiders at Arrowhead. Let today be the day.

[matthewschiefs]

The big thing is Prior is moble that seems to give the Chiefs problems. If we keep him in check we win.

[Ryla02]

Let's go chiefs!!!

[kcvet]

hoping the beard man has a monster day

[matthewschiefs]

Oh and a big FU to Cbs for there lovefest of the faiders when talking about the Chiefs faiders rivalry

[brdempsey69]

Kickoff is just a few minutes away.

Let's go Chiefs and get out there and get after the Raiders a$$ and put an end to their win streak at Arrowhead.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Let's get up early and never let up. Kc has done very well when running that semi hurry up offense scoring in all but 2 of those kinda drives.

[Lord-Chiefy]

If we don't break the Dedible record will never hear the end of it stupid Seattle fam

[matthewschiefs]

Smith once again making it happen when the O line fails

[Lord-Chiefy]

Smith bailed us out

[brdempsey69]

Step it up, Eric Fisher. C'mon.

[Lord-Chiefy]

We haven't had luck running the first 3 quarters all year. Eerily need to fix that

[Lord-Chiefy]

Nice punt coverage.

[brdempsey69]

The O-Line has got to step it up & start blocking better.

[matthewschiefs]

What a freaking job defending the punt Who is this ron parker and where did he come from DAMN that was great

[iratefan]

fisher owned on the first play. nice scramble by alex... but the run run shotgun thing isnt going to get it done.

[matthewschiefs]

SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great start defense

[Lord-Chiefy]

Sack Johnson..nice

[brdempsey69]

Sack by DJ and they have to punt !! Nice job, Defense.

Let's do something different on Offense this time and get some points on the board. Receivers need to get open and catch the ball. O-Line needs to start blocking better RIGHT NOW !!

[Lord-Chiefy]

We need to spread the offense out and loosen up their d. They are stacking the box. Run a screen or quick slant middle.

[brdempsey69]

Play-Action passes might work. If somebody will get open.

[matthewschiefs]

The wrs just don't get open when the O line does give them time

[matthewschiefs]

WAKE UP PEOPLE guy comes unblocked

[Lord-Chiefy]

We have to get some quick pass plays!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

We need to draft a top WR or get one in free agency!!!

[brdempsey69]

The wrs just don't get open when the O line does give them time

That's the whole problem. Len Dawson pointed out that the receivers aren't working to get open when Smith rolls out. Bowe is not earning his money this year -- plain and simple.

[matthewschiefs]

That's the whole problem. Len Dawson pointed out that the receivers aren't working to get open when Smith rolls out.

It's why Smith hasn't been able to go downfield If he did he would be throwing to defenders since the wrs don't get open

[iratefan]

Andy Reid is learning just how ferocious the raider's D plays this KC offense. this isnt a waltz down the field effort here. blitzes come quick and fast with this Raiders' D. This is how they exposed us in 2010 as being a weak offense. This set the playbook for the Raven's #1 D to handle KC with ease in the wildcard round. Chiefs are going to have to do a better job than this.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Nice another 3rd down sack

[matthewschiefs]

SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hali this time but there were more red shirts around this pressure keeps up we will get a pick or 2

[brdempsey69]

Nice job, Hali. So far it's Defensive struggle. The Chiefs O-Line has got to step up and receivers have to start getting open.

[matthewschiefs]

Now we can hope the O line and wrs realize the game has started

[brdempsey69]

That's exactly right. the Chiefs have to find a way to counter that somehow.

[matthewschiefs]

And Alberts hurt again

[Lord-Chiefy]

Albert always getting hurt.

[iratefan]

that looked like a backwards pass... also, going to start callin this kid 'big fat albert' if i see him down on an 'injury' one more time.

[matthewschiefs]

Albert always getting hurt.

Yet anther reason the Chiefs were smart not to pay him like a top 5 LT which he is not

[brdempsey69]

Run more of those Off-Tackle smashes more often to Fisher's side. The play was successful once. Make them stop it and set up play-action.

[matthewschiefs]

Charles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

[Lord-Chiefy]

What did I say we had to throw screens booya

[matthewschiefs]

Mccluster should have caught that

[Lord-Chiefy]

There goes fg.. sob.

[matthewschiefs]

So 3 sacks 2 not on fishers side but he's the only one struggling LOL

[Lord-Chiefy]

Great punt..now stop them!!!@

[matthewschiefs]

BEST PUNTER EVER

HOF please

[brdempsey69]

Another stinking sack !! Block somebody and keep running the screens and Off-Tackle smashes. Stay with what works and make them stop it.

[iratefan]

good play design and bad overthrow by alex smith there. and we should know by now that 7 are coming on 3rd and long

[iratefan]

i dont know how colquitt does it every time.

[brdempsey69]

So 3 sacks 2 not on fishers side but he's the only one struggling LOL

Exactly. Making Fisher the lone scapegoat is ludicrous. And the play-calling is not helping the O-Line at all.

[matthewschiefs]

The Qbs that can run really hurt us

[2010chiefs]

Cmon offense. Defense doing it all again this week.

[Lord-Chiefy]

D is getting bashed

[brdempsey69]

Need a turnover.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Burned again..contain him!!

[brdempsey69]

There is no reason to not employ a spy on Pryor to keep him from running for those big gains. Especially on 3rd and long.

[iratefan]

pryor making our defense look really fat and slow.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Ty lord.. raiders bailed us out

Man incomolete. How do the raiders eexpet to win if they can't comolete a pass....

[brdempsey69]

The Chiefs just aren't playing smart thus far.

Luckily they missed the FG. GET IT GOING OFFENSE !!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Omg gave them a fg..op.. glad they missed

[matthewschiefs]

That penalty helped us we get better field position LOL

[Danger]

Oh and a miss on the field goal and over here is applause.

[iratefan]

chiefs - seriously ?

[Lord-Chiefy]

Danger...pls leave!! Go troll elsewhere

[brdempsey69]

NOW is the time to move the ball and get points on the board. The Chiefs need to seize a foothold while they have the chance.

[matthewschiefs]

How about we all get to arrowhead and play o line couldn't be much worse

[rodu]

draft offense, offense, offense

[matthewschiefs]

Well some can play Ol and some can be Wrs couldn't do much worse and I'll play for free

[Lord-Chiefy]

We are not giving our d a rest.

[brdempsey69]

Why are they not trying to run the Off-Tackle smash again? Make them stop it and it will set up play-action.

Please, Eric Fisher, get in the game and block your guy.

[iratefan]

this is turning into the worst offensive line showing of the season. this is so ****ing ugly to watch

[Lord-Chiefy]

We absolutely have to start getting those quick passes out are there going to just keep coming at us

[jason1981]

Wow our line is killing us. Smith has no time to throw at all. Also no wr are beating man coverage fast enough before smith has to run for his life.
I hope we go line with the 1st pick again or draft unless theres a better wr on board.

[Danger]

Seems like they are anxious. They missed two passes man.

[brdempsey69]

I hate to say this, but thus far Oakland is looking like the better team, today. Matt was right about this being a trap game.

[Lord-Chiefy]

D is gassed

[Lord-Chiefy]

Game over... if we don't answer. Our d is gassed and our o coordinator needs to go!!!!

[brdempsey69]

There it is. The floodgate finally opened as the Raiders scored first. And as usual, the Chiefs O-Line has showed no fire or determination when playing at home against the Raiders.

So much for the decibal record being broken. Probably not happening today.

[matthewschiefs]

there Wrs are showing up ours are not and Pryor is killing us with his moving around

[Lord-Chiefy]

They have o coordinator making adjustments..ours is wwatching a butterfly??

[Chiefster]

This is why I passed on the Kool-Aid.

[iratefan]

I hate to say this, but thus far Oakland is looking like the better team, today. Matt was right about this being a trap game.

This is how raiders play. Theyll make a huge statement vs KC , and the next week will get humiliated by the browns (just an example). Chiefs have historically not been able to keep up with the speed of the raiders (moore always winds up gashing us like this) - and we cant let our QB breathe against their pass rush. its like they turn into super motivated super human freaks when playing KC>

I just wish chiefs could step up and show some of that same pride - because right now theyre just looking flat out lazy.

[rodu]

our lack of talent on offense is finally catching up to us

[brdempsey69]

Get the running game going by taking it straight at them. Make them stop it. The Chiefs have not challenged them enough with this.

[rodu]

probably our best bet since we can't pass protect

[iratefan]

I dont think this is showing a lack of talent on the offense, its really a matter of winning the line up front. adjusting to cover the 6-7 man rush, and giving a bail option for the pressure.

i mean you have to give your QB a chance to plant his feet and the WR's to get past the 1st down mark to make plays.

The difference in the game so far has been this. Pryor has had time to throw. Smith has had time to... well realize that he doesnt have enough time to do anything but throw it away.

[brdempsey69]

Eric Fisher is having a nightmarish game thus far. Sad to see.

[iratefan]

OLINE has just given up here. fisher is looking really bad.

[Lord-Chiefy]

We need a turn over!!!

[matthewschiefs]

Again the line gave Smith that time and wrs gave nothing until Smith had to start running then someone came open

[Danger]

Oh come on hes not that bad. In fact he might get that sudden in game wizdom of what to expect out of the raiders. We'll win this game.

[brdempsey69]

Nice job, Tyson Jackson. Great play.

[matthewschiefs]

Oh come on hes not that bad. In fact he might get that sudden in game wizdom of what to expect out of the raiders. We'll win this game.

What?

[matthewschiefs]

If we keep getting that pressure on him he will throw a pick I'm telling you now it's going to happen if we keep the pressure up

[brdempsey69]

There you go. Screens and Off-Tackle smashes are working. If they can't stop it, then keep running it.

[Lord-Chiefy]

We have to even it up. 2 times now we have had good screens. That's how you kill blitzing d

[Lord-Chiefy]

Danger u s a raider troll.. fyi

[matthewschiefs]

THERE YOU GO BOWE

Thank you

Now keep that up

[brdempsey69]

C'mon, let's get the goose-egg off the scoreboard.

[Danger]

There it is. Come on another bullet oass like that one.

[matthewschiefs]

Albert got beat AGAIN

[matthewschiefs]

Albert gets beat one play injured the next is anyone surprised?

[Danger]

Pass interference. Good now THROW THE BALL!

[rodu]

our line is getting weaker and weaker

[brdempsey69]

Albert got beat AGAIN

He's playing hurt & is hurt again. He's got to sit out for a bit and get healthy.

[Lord-Chiefy]

TD kc.. that was a slick draw

[Danger]

Woot! We are tying it up come on field goal!

[matthewschiefs]

CHARLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOUCHDOWN KANSAS CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what it is but this team at the ends of halfs and games offense just flips a switch and gets the job done

[iratefan]

i love LOVE that draw play call on first and likely blitz!

[brdempsey69]

Woot! We are tying it up come on field goal!

What are you saying? The Chiefs got a TD and tied it.

Please tell us and set the record straight. Are you a Chiefs or Raiders fan? I need to know where you are coming from.

EDIT: I think I get it. You meant extra point. Sorry, my bad.

[matthewschiefs]

Great to here the crowd again

WERE GOING TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU

[jason1981]

That was a much needed td

[Lord-Chiefy]

Woot! We are tying it up come on field goal!

We all know that you are a Raider fan will you please get the F out of here

[Chiefster]

All tied up! Got to make some big time half time adjustments!

[matthewschiefs]

2 false starts on one play?

Only the faiders

[Lord-Chiefy]

Man incomolete. How do the raiders eexpet to win if they can't comolete a pass....

This was his first post he is a Raider fan do not be fooled he is a Raider fan you need to get the F out get

[brdempsey69]

All tied up! Got to make some big time half time adjustments!

Let's hope the Raiders first TD was their last look at the sun before the coming storm.

Need to start forcing turnovers on Defense and on Offense they need better play-calling to help the struggling O-Line.

[Danger]

We all know that you are a Raider fan will you please get the F out of here

I am not a radier fan. I am in denver with my buds in red. So stop being a police officer and allow a blogger to cheer the chief's.

[iratefan]

is it me or has the announcers been mixing up their reference to the teams pretty much since the first play of the game?

[matthewschiefs]

is it me or has the announcers been mixing up their reference to the teams pretty much since the first play of the game?

Not just you they have kind of insulting to us lol

[brdempsey69]

Good. They stopped them. Maybe the Chiefs can score again before the half.

EDIT: Maybe not. Get out of the 1st half and regroup. Damn lucky to get out of this 1st half with a tie. The Chiefs have shown the ability to turn things in their favor in games thus far this season. Need to do it again in the 2nd half of this game.

[matthewschiefs]

Take a couple of shots here there's a good chance you can draw a flag

[Lord-Chiefy]

We need to make it 24 to 48 hour wait before new users that apply to post on here to keep the trolls like danger out

[matthewschiefs]

Or just go into the half that works to I guess

[Lord-Chiefy]

You even said how are the raiders supposed to win if we can't complete a pass shut it pls

[Lord-Chiefy]

I have never went to a Raider forum Denver forum charger for any other format besides my cheese forms so why do people feel the need to come in here every freakin Sunday MP

[Danger]

You even said how am i Rader supposed to win if we can't complete a pass shut up

Ok seriously go back to my post and read it word for word.

[matthewschiefs]

I have never went to a Raider forum Denver forum charger for any other format besides my cheese forms so why do people feel the need to come in here every freakin Sunday MP

There can actually be fans of other teams even the faiders that are fun to talk with I was kind of hoping Yoda would show up today

[jason1981]

With that booming punt which mccluster seemed to run again to the side where was all raiders. Maybe he doesnt think he fast enough but the right side seemed way open but no since of throwing it and risking injury or int with 40 sec left amd no timeouts.

[jason1981]

I dont mind oppenents guest on jere aslong as its in a friendly manner.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Yoda US cool. But for someone to straight up riot fir raiders is wrong forum

[matthewschiefs]

Bart Scott just called out Bowe on the halftime report

[brdempsey69]

Chiefs O-Line has got to pick it up in the 2nd half. Play calling has to be better. Need some turnovers on Defense. Maybe the Chiefs can pull off a big special teams play to help out, as well.


Bart Scott just called out Bowe on the halftime report


What did he say, Matt? I'm not watching the game. I'm listening to the live audio broadcast.

[iratefan]

alex smiths numbers for the half look horrible. so is this a QB failure and a chance to call the kid a 'mediocre game manager'? i dunno, hard to do anything with no open receivers and instant pocket implosion... even on simple 4 man rush that line is getting decimated. by far the weakest area of the team, with the receiver corps in a close second. I can see a clear difference in his unwillingness to force a throw into coverage for interceptions vs matt cassel's hurried expedience. Of course you cant make big plays without taking chances, but if you have to rely on slinging into coverage to gain any yards, youre doing something wrong to begin with.

[chief31]

Raiders fan, or not..... let him participate until he violates rules, like name-calling (Lordchief)

[iratefan]

defense seems to have allowed more pass completions than normal (including the gash by moore) using zone coverage the first half? theyve done a rather great job of containing the run game, save pryor. no wonder oakland was so quick to dump Flynn, a non-rushing QB would be annihilated in that backfield environment.

[jason1981]

When will the do the test for the record?

[brdempsey69]

C'mon Defense. Stop them, now.

[ctchiefsfan]

Hope we've made some half-time adjustments. Gotta get some protection for Smith!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Haha he deleted his first post..too late I had already quoted it!!!

[matthewschiefs]

SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord-Chiefy]

Hali sack #2

[ctchiefsfan]

Sack hali!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brdempsey69]

GREAT JOB, HALI !! They have to punt.

Get it going, Offense and let's get some more points on the board.

[iratefan]

big defensive stand on the first series this 2nd half! big difference between the titans opening 2nd half

[Lord-Chiefy]

Well Scott was pretty much telling the truth he's not going to Bowe he's you're getting by any body deep he is going to go up and make some plays. He's tall is a big body the problem is Smith is not going to make those old because he's protecting the ball that's why does not getting a lot of balls

[matthewschiefs]

Smith again making things happen with his legs

[brdempsey69]

Nice job, Alex. Let's go and let's score.

[ctchiefsfan]

Makes me nervous seeing Smith run like that against the Raiders.

[Lord-Chiefy]

Commentators are up raiders jock.. stupid

[Danger]

In case you didn't know Denver bronco fans are raider haters. I am a bronco and chiefs fan now stop harrasing me.

[Lord-Chiefy]

We need a few long drives to wind Thier D and give ours a rest

[ctchiefsfan]

Really need this 1st down!

[iratefan]

Makes me nervous seeing Smith run like that against the Raiders.

not me, id like to see him make that decision more often if no other options present itself! hes a smart qb he knows when to take it when he can. what makes me nervous to the contrary is when he does the back dive thing over defenders for first down attempts.

[matthewschiefs]

In case you didn't know Denver bronco fans are raider haters. I am a bronco and chiefs fan now stop harrasing me.

How does that work?

[Lord-Chiefy]

That is the biggest oxymoron I have ever heard in my life there is no such thing as a Denver and chiefse fan and you clearly said my Raiders cannot win and if they can't complete a pass

[Danger]

Oooooh and look at that catch. We got a hold on them.

[matthewschiefs]

THANK YOU BOWE

You are showing up today

THANK YOU GREAT JOB THAT'S THE BOWE we need THANK YOU

Hey limited is better then nothing

Someone has to be wrong here :lol::biggrin::bananen_smilies046:

[matthewschiefs]

DAMN its great to here Arrowhead that loud again

[brdempsey69]

C'mon Defense. Stop them, now.

It figures, let them get a 1st down.

[brdempsey69]

Taken the lead. Keep pouring it on Chiefs. Get the ball back somehow and score again and take them out of it.

[Chiefster]

The Offense and the defense are alive! We need to keep the momentum!

[azchiefsfan]

That was the most beautiful cross-line block I've ever seen by McGrath.

[ctchiefsfan]

OK. Got the lead. Now PUT THEM AWAY!!!!!

[Eydugstr]

Neat game. The crowd puts them back into the game, and with that last drive the team put the crowd right back into it.

[ctchiefsfan]

We've got Pryor in trouble. Now SQUASH HIM LIKE A BUG!!!!!

[brdempsey69]

ok. Got the lead. Now put them away!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

Crowd is making a difference today GREAT TO SEE

[brdempsey69]

[Danger]

We are in their heads man. False start. Ouch.

[iratefan]

this crowd is really disrupting this raiders line now!

[azchiefsfan]

Damn! The crowd is winning this game for the boys! Keep rocking Arrowhead!

[iratefan]

[iratefan]

[iratefan]

[Danger]

They need to get that ball up the fiekd. No prolonging this game. Score now. Come on chiefs.

[azchiefsfan]

I blew my voice out for a week after going to a Cardinals game 2 years ago. It is hard as hell to keep screaming at the top of your lungs all game. Hope the crowd can carry it into the 4th.

[jason1981]

Mccluster needs to learn to call for a fair catch. One of these days he will get knocked out and even lose the ball.
