The GREAT...10.5 sacks. Marcus Cooper continues to shine. D-line and LB's did not let early struggles get inside their helmets, and when it was needed most, got the crowd right back in this game in the third quarter. Can't say enough good things about the D. Every one of them played really really well. I feel sorry for the offensive coordinator that wakes up tomorrow and finds out that he has to gameplan against this defense. Especially at Arrowhead, where the RECORD SETTING crowd is three decibels away from being as loud as a jet engine.
In order for the human ear to distinguish a change in sound level, the difference has to be MORE THAN 3 decibals. Arrowhead is 137.5 decibals while a jet engine is 140. 140-137.5=2.5 Therefore, Arrowhead is just as loud as a jet engine to anyone who hears them.
Special teams did a good job as well, granted no scores or turnovers on special teams, but understand that the Raiders ST units are among the tops in the league.
The offense, I'm sure will get it's fair share of criticism from every talking head from coast to coast...but will say this...As good as our D was today, it was the offense that crossed the goal line the first two times, putting us back in the ball game and giving us the lead. Was it a case of our offense being that bad, or maybe their defense being that good? Going by what we've seen I would not be surprised if next April we're drafting more O-line or recievers. Where was Hemingway?
