McDaniels is proving why it took so long for him to get another HC job, he is awful.  The Raiders lost that game, KC didn’t win.  In 5 minutes of game time the Raiders gave the game up on a silver platter 3 times.  What a joke.

I couldn’t agree more, everyone loves blaming Carr. He’s an inconsistent QB who will never take his team to the promised land, but this is a clear step back from recent years. Mahomes owes the LV and Denver front office Christmas gifts for hiring Hackett and McDaniels. NFL teams continue to make really dumb moves sometimes.

Mahomes was making hard throws look real easy again. Dude's vision is ridiculous.

still trying to figure out WHY THE ***** DIDNT THEY KICK THE EXTRA POINT

 

Especially with last night's situation. There was 4 minutes left when the Raiders made it 30-29. Extra point or not the Raiders still have to go out there and play defense with that much time. Kick the extra point to tie it up and go from there. As it turned out the Raiders did get the ball back but instead of going to OT they lost.

It was always going to come down to the game this Sunday, and now it’s here

So I didn’t watch this game…but I see the Raiders gave the Chefs all they wanted.

 

What are our thoughts?  Shootout?  Can we stop the KC offense?

KC is going to try to put together 16-play drives on us…dinking and dunking, running the ball, and Mahomes scrambling. They don’t throw the ball down the field much anymore. The Raiders actually had success blitzing Mahomes early, but then the Chiefs just wore them out.

I wonder who’s going to lose their job in this NFL Illuminati Secret Society for failing to execute the ad revenue directive during Bills Rams and Bills Titans.  Perhaps the dental filling referee communication system failed.

 

Readers:  The Vegas books don’t care who wins, as long as you bet.  The NFL maximizes revenue if officiating is honest and jeopardizes billions of dollars if it manipulates games.   Man walked on the moon.  The earth is round.

 

Sometimes, bad officiating is just bad officiating.

 

Are you saying that if I think that some games are "nudged" that I also believe in flat earth? Listen to yourself.

Winner of Chiefs Bills will end up with #1 seed in the end. Gonna be tough to end up a full game ahead of them if we lose, and vice versa

Exactly, they let the whole game ride on one play.  I give them credit for trying to run it, Jacobs had been virtually unstoppable all night, so that made sense, but it should have been an effort to tie the game first and foremost.   
 

The idiotic agreement by the announcer “the way your defense is playing you want to take the lead here”, really?  The Defense is playing like *****, so you put it all on them if you don’t get the 2pts and they still have to STOP KC from scoring to keep a lead, which BTW they did.   So worst case, you could have gone to OT. 
 

Also, WTF were those last two play calls about? You needed 1 yard to get a first down, and you heave it downfield both tries?  Get the first with Jacobs, spike it and set up 3-4 plays to get to 15 yards for a FG.  It’s like they let a Middle School QB draw up the plans for a back yard game when his mom was yelling to come in for dinner.

It will all come down to the DL getting pressure or letting him pick you apart.  If they play soft like LV did and give him a week to throw, it’s over.

Another thing. These calls on "roughing" the passer (Brady on Sunday) and last night need to stop. The league has to review this in the offseason. I am all for player safety as you don't want to see anyone get hurt. But they are taking it too far now. These "hits" on the QB are just regular tackles. Pretty soon the NFL will be reduced to flag football.

[Billsfan1972]

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.  Can't blame the call to go for two (like Baltimore going for the TD). 

 

Looks like the Refs cost KC 7 points the first half and then gave it back to them. 

 

Fingers crossed that come Sunday, this will not be the point of discussion.  I am sure though there will be complaints about holds throughout however.

All because the Miami team doctor cleared Tua for the second half.....  Talk about dominoes falling (not pizza).

Getting so sick of the inevitable end to most Chiefs games. 1. Comeback check, 2. wide open Kelce for several Tds check, 3. Curiously bad Officiating check, 4 Bad luck for opponents check, 5 Good luck and some quirky Mahomes skill play check.

 

Last night had it all. Holding on the defending team on a FG??? That one might take the cake.

but somehow the story of the game is the roughing the passer penalty.

That was pure crap. NFL officiating is a travesty.
 

Keeping fingers crossed we get a decent crew next week.

It means that there is a game this Sunday, a game to which it was all going to come down.  And now said game is upon us.

Maybe. Maybe not.

I couldn't agree more. What the official said he was calling was the Raider's player supposedly pulled the Chief's lineman out of the way so the other Raider could rush the kicker.  But...the player he was 'opening the door' for was already through the hole, and he wasn't the O Lineman's assignment. Terrible call! And, in this case, an actual game changer.

Obviously, one cannot say with certitude that it will be decisive, but it sure is a huge chip to win and once again, the game is a home venue for the Chiefs.

It was immediate redress for the roughing penalty. I used to be neutral on KC, but their fans and the hyperbolic cadence of the home announcer have turned me against them. (Of course, Mahomes, the arrogance of Andy Reid, and the tolerance for jail breakers, along with being the primary obstacle to the AFC crown contributes.)

Isn’t this what we all said last season?

 

We won that regular season game. But then lost to the Jags.  As others have said, it’s a long season. And this is just one game with many more to follow.
