Week 9- Chiefs vs Raiders
Now i don't like the Raiders as much as the next fan of another team in the AFC West but when my team plays the Raiders i want to beat them by a large margin however, the match up between the Chiefs and the Raiders in week 9 was nothing of a blow out. I felt that there was one coaching decision that would have swayed the result of the game in favor of the Chiefs. When Todd Haley decided to pooch punt the ball instead of going for a manageable 51 yard field goal for Ryan Succope. Coach Haley had the idea to pin the Raiders deep in their own end zone but the result of the pooch punt landed up being a touchback putting the Raiders at the 20 yard line. If you watched the game or saw highlights you saw that the Raiders landed up winning the game in over time 20-23. Leading up to this score the Raiders tied up the game with a field goal with 7 seconds left in the game and won it with a field goal in overtime. Now if the Chiefs went for the field goal instead of the pooch punt it would have forced the Raiders to score a touchdown instead of a field goal to tie it up. I would like to hear your input in this game. do you think the Raiders are better than the Chiefs? Who do you think will win when the Raiders come to Arrowhead?

The Raiders are screwed when the come to Kansas City. The Chiefs are a better team that got too cute with the play calling and let the Raiders back in the game. I still think KC will win the divison by a few games. The Raiders won't be the one pushing them. They will falter in the next few weeks. The only team I could see giving the Chiefs trouble now is the Chargers. But if KC beats Denver this week they'll have a two game lead on them.
ReplyDeleteI think they should have went for the field goal, I mean why not go for it? You should turn down points in a game like that. But, what would have happened if they Raiders would have made they 41 yarder that they missed?
ReplyDeleteI really thought that was a great game. I think the Cheifs should have won but they made too many mistakes down the home stretch. On the other hand, the Raiders capitalized on there mistakes and kicked a field goal to win it. This game was hard fought and i enjoyed it.
