Seething Seers: Raiders-Chiefs Predictions

Gather 'round Friends and Fellow Followers! For I bring kind words from the Wise One. First an update on how I came to get them.

RaiderDamus, aka the seer of all things awesome, made a killing on the World Series and while he said he was just gambling to get enough money back to reclaim his Sibyls from from the evil clutches of DeNiro and Pesci, he rode his hot streak right through the Raiders game. 

Unlike past weeks, finding Damus was easy. He called me on my cell phone and then picked me up on his new yacht. Yup, that's right, he's on a boat, as they traded the cave for a yacht. As I boarded the yacht, I saw DeNiro, Pesci and Liotta sitting around in speedos and captain hat admiring a deck of sun bathing sibyls--the sibyls needed it too, a life spent huffing gas in a cave can leave one rather pale.

Then RaiderDamus emerged, with blood shot eyes and a white substance around his nose. "Don't worry about that," he assured me, "I am finding new ways to court the future." And a bright future it is:

This is a big week for the Raiders. Kansas City is a legit team, as much as it pains me to say, and the Raiders will have to fight hard to get the W. RaiderDamus has been deep in visions this week, but that might be from all the alcohol consumed due to the Giants winning the World Series. I am bleeding black this week, and all I have to do now is change Giants orange to Raider silver.

I seem to recall the Chiefs having drafted Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson. Whatever became of them? Apparently, Tamba Hali is KC's pass rush, which baffles me as I watched a lot of LSU games where Dorsey and Jackson were absolute monsters. How is it that they aren't relevant? Are they just miscast in KC's defense, or are they Ryan Sims-like busts? Anyway, the Chiefs' D-line isn't all that great, maybe a little better than the Seahawks', and their linebackers are so-so. The only guy on the Chiefs who scares me is Eric Berry. Eric Berry is a bad ass motherfucker. However, who knows how much he will play as a rookie. I suspect the Raiders will be able to balance the run and pass effectively enough to take advantage of the Chiefs' lack of superior personnel, just like last week. It sure was nice to see the Raiders put together two straight amazing weeks, both in play-calling and execution.

Jason Campbell will have an effective yet understated day. The Raiders will concentrate on the run, but so will the Chiefs, so I suspect play action will be a huge weapon this week for the Raiders. Campbell has 250 yards passing, 3 TDs, 1 pick.

McFadden and Bush will combine for 220 yards rushing, including one long run busted by each of them. The Raiders' dominant offensive line will dominate in dominating fashion. Chiefs fans will cry into their cereal.

The solid Raider D will have a tougher game this week, especially without Asomugha. McCluster, Jones, and Charles will all be effective. However, Matt Cassel will not. He will be sacked at least 5 times. Dwayne Bowe will catch one touchdown.

Raiders win, 36-17.

Lil' Dam, who has to earn his way, was in charge of oiling up Pesci, but he still found time to give me his prediction.

This is going to be a game dominated by the defense and the running game so management of time is very important and Cable hasn't lately been good at this aspect of the game. Nevertheless McFadden is going to break for 50+ yarder at some point in the game. The Raiders D-line will dominate on pass plays but the Quiefs line will dominate in the run game until the second half. After a gritty game I see the score at 24-17 Raiders!!!

As always, tell us what you have seen the future to hold. Put your scores in bold!

The unsung Raiders will have odes played throughout Raidershire come Sunday night

Reece, who is only now being recognized will be a major factor, as will Brandon Myers, a sleeper whose showed us some flashes (last season) of solid blocking and an ability to hang on while taking the hit. Jacoby is getting better fast and Nick Miller is a joker in the deck that has a real shot at making this week’s highlights.
Game planning in the absence of Nnamdi is critical; our RCB will be targeted now perceived as a vulnerability. Stanford must have the game of his career but I think he is ready. They all are ready.
Final score: Raider 27 Chiefs 13.

Something tells me, Jano is going to show up big in this Game !!!

And I think He’s going to be needed, in the First Half. We control ball in between the 20’s with Bush & McFadden, in come’s Jano, 3 To 5 times !!! Just feeling that way. With 7 and 8 man fronts, pressure Cassell & watch the gaps for cut back runs, against Charles & McCluster( those 2 lit’l MF’ers scare the hell out of me), Jones doesn’t !!! With enough of a lead, in the second half, they’ll be depending on Cassell, and that’s when we go in for the kill !!!! This game will be remeniscent of the Seattle game, Maybe 30-10 score, or real close. Another error free game from CAMPBELL will work Perfectly !!!

Ohhhh, one more thing !!! Special Teams has to be playing out of their heads, Especially the Kick-off teams, Back to Jano. Kick that shit out of the endzone, every motherfucking time !!!! This is Mandatory !!!

I agree on STs

Special Teams for sure has to have a stellar fucking game, the Chumps have 2 rookies that are very dangerous returners in Arenas and McCluster, living in SEC country I have watched them for a few years now, fucking dangerous little pricks, luckily McCluster is banged up with an ankle, hopefully that will at least slow/limit him if not a scratch.

pulled together some stats...

these are some stats I pulled together from the last 2 weeks.

Total Offence-Raiders

3rd Down Efficiency 11/30-36%
Total Net Yards 1053-526 YPG
Red Zone Offence 6/10-60%
Goal To Good 6/8-75%

Time Of Pocession 74:43/120:00

Total Defence

3rd Down Efficiency 3/27-11%
Total Net Yards 405-202.5 YPG
Net Passing 283-141.5 YPG
Net Rushing 122-61 YPG
Red Zone Defence 1/4-25%
Goal To Good 0/1-0%
Sacks 12
INT 2

These are stats I have compiled from the last 2 games, which the raiders are playing their best ball all year needless to say. The offence we were all aware how well they have been looking(except 3rd downs) but our defence is the biggest X factor most people arent taking into account. Anaylist are looking at the whole Regular Season stats, and this D of the last 2 weeks isnt the same as the D from the majority of the season. The game plan is what we would expect, but to the level we succeed is more likely then some would give credit to. I will admit that the Rushing yards from the last 2 weeks werent from toped ranked rushing offences, so thats to be taken with a grain of salt, but the passing D is more realist with the “great” passing offence denver has, averaging out seattle’s. In other words, we should be instored for a good old fashioned, 60 minute game of hard nose defence, smash mouth football, and the team with more time of pocession and less turn overs is the likely winner. Should be instored for a great game!

Another post by noon

where he does no research. We are 8th against the rush. Glenn dorsey is a big reason why. 3 year development of linemen is the norm. dorsey in his third year you dont see the sacks etc cause he is a 3 4 d lineman. tyson jackson out after playing like a monster in the opener, last week first game back. watch out faiders.

They were mine, as RaiderDamus. I juat noticed that in the smacktalk thread all that was said about the Chiefs D-lkine was “Tamba Hali is awesome” but nobody said shit about Dorsey or Jackson.

you are right about dorsey and jackson prior to this year. they were both no shows last year especially for the price tag that comes for a 3 overall and a 5 overall. here in kc people were starting to call them busts, but this year(especially dorsey) they have been dominant in getting double teams and plugging holes.

I totally agree!

ESPN was going on and on Friday about how Chiefs-Raiders could be the biggest game of the weekend, even with Dolphins-Ravens- Bucs-Falcons, and Eagles-Colts on the docket. I am happy to see the AFC West in the spotlight.

One more thing about Dorsey and Jackson, if they’re just space-eaters and blocker-magnets, I feel it’s a waste of their talents. At LSU they were both big time bull rushing sack artists. Are you confident they are being used to the best of their ability in your scheme, or do you think they are miscast in your defense?

Dorsey/Jackson

In Romeo’s Defense they are being used perfectly. He doens’t expect a lot of sacks out of the front 3 and in a 3-4 defense you don’t see too many sacks out of the linemen. They might get better numbers in a 4-3 defense but it would be a wash since they are playing the 3-4 almost perfect.

Richard Seymour had 8 sacks as a 3-4 DE in his last year playing for NE, so saying you don’t see many sacks out of linemen in any system is false.

by MNchiefsfan on Nov 6, 2010 5:38 PM PDT up reply actions  

It's tough to say at this point

Dorsey, despite having only a single sack so far this year, has actually been pushing the pocket quite a bit and providing pressure.

He’s also been absolutely awesome against the run. So while part of me wonders what he’d be like in a 4-3, he’s excellent for what we need and a very, very good
3-4 DE. So I’m not really interested in looking a gift horse in the mouth, know what I mean?

Jackson… well, he’s been much improved when healthy this year, so we’ll see. He’s been solid against the run, but hasn’t provided the push that Dorsey has…

Here’s how I see it- If they are making our overall defense a lot better (which Dorsey definitely is, and TJax is starting to), then I’m good with how they’re being used.

Seems like a decent retort, but Jano has been 11 out of 12 field goals since AZ.

Jano had an epiphany after that choke and started coming in on Mondays (which he hadn’t done in 5 or 6 years) and has been working his tail off (according to reports) and spoke to the press afterward and told them he was deeply upset by what he had (hadn’t) done and would strive to ensure it never happened again, and so on, and so forth.

this is just for fun, the whole projections for the game. I think its either going to be an extremely low scoring or high scoring game. Given our offensive firepowers I sided with high scoring, with the Raiders edging out. I forgot to mention that when I was thinking this the Chiefs would have the ball at the end of the game and fail to punch it in for the victory.

If you really want to play that game

wins vs. teams with winning records:

OAK 1, KC 0

KC’s wins have come against SD, Cle, SF, BUF, Jac – the “best” team you’ve beaten is jacksonville ( a team that i cannot believe is 4-4, the 2 times I’ve watched them they looked like a high school team), and an underachieving sd team, and 3 of the dregs

records of defeated teams:

OAK 13-18
KC 11- 27 (!)

and all the sudden you’re “at the top of the world?”

I also love these two themes that have emerged:

1. “buffalo is not that bad, they aren’t the worst team in the league”

really? well, they certainly have possibly one of the worst defenses EVER:

in the last 5 games before they played KC: Buffalo gave up the following: 34, 38, 38, 36, 37

this team, that is “not that bad,” then held the vaunted chief attack, led by the best two back tandem since the invention of sliced bread, to 13 points in 75 minutes on their hallowed home turf

another:

2. “sure, you’ve won in 2 blowouts, but that was against 2 bad teams”

first, denver was by no means considered a terrible team until WE put them there. they beat tennessee at tennessee, and were coming off a loss to the supposed best team in football on a questionable pi call. sure, they look bad now, but who put them in that tailspin?

i also love the revisionist history that makes seattle a “little guy…” they were and still are leading their division with a winning record. granted, it is not a good division. however, we absolutely destroyed them. the 33-3 score does not do it justice. we had to settle for 4 field goals and could have scored more – but what was really impressive was our defense. i know seattle is not a great offense but against us they looked absolutely inept. they could not run, throw, or block. total yards in that game was 545-162.

and before you comprehension-challenged chief fans get on here with your “OMG YOU BEAT THE BRONCOS AND SEAHAWKS IT DOESNT MEAN YOU ARE GOING TO BEAT US” crap, that is not what I’m saying.

what I’m saying is that we are playing very, very good football right now. We will be playing before a stadium FULL of drunken, battery chucking parolees who have been waiting for this for a VERY long time. The team will be flying around and its a wave that i don’t think the chiefs will stop.

I see the chiefs ending up with good running numbers but not up to their average. charles will probably break one big run, maybe even 2, and he scares the shit out of me. however, i also see a lot of 0 and one yard stuffs. I don’t think cassel will make an impact in the passing game whatsoever. charles will go for 90 yards and a touch and jones will be held to 50-60. i hope haley doesnt pull his head out of his ass and give charles 25 carries like he should.

mcfadden will run wild again and reece will make an impact. i see a defensive score on a pick-6, possibly by huff or branch.

raiders 31-20.

The opponents you've faced are a combined 25-28.

SOS is a really terrible argument to make because the Raiders SOS (to this point) isn’t much more impressive.

I still don’t see why you think your running game will explode all over us. I think the Chiefs have pretty much done everything they need to prove why they’re the 5th ranked in run defense. Holding all RBs we’ve faced under 100 yards is quite a feat.

i bring it up to rebut the 1000 times i've seen the "your last 2 wins don't mean s**t because the teams you beat suck" theory

and because when you look at the chiefs’ schedule, they really haven’t beat a decent team all year. the schedules of both teams have been nondescript.

i think these 2 teams are very evenly matched. i think it will be a close game with a late score putting it away 31-20. I am not cocky, how could i be after the last 7 years. mcfadden is a different guy this year. he has shown an ability to run through and around people that is very rare. your run defense is good. i think he can beat it.

Why wouldn't you consider remaining competitive with Houston or Indy?

Last year, the Chiefs would have been smoked in those games. The mere fact we hung with Indy and really had a shot at beating Houston is very telling about the drive of the Chiefs. We’ve faced some pretty tough opponents. I guess that’s what I’m trying to say.

Yes, let's take a look at our wins.

SD is statistically one of the best teams in the NFL. Their record doesn’t reflect that because they find ways to lose games. They aren’t a bad team. In fact, they’re a pretty good one.

Cleveland stunned the reigning SB champs in New Orleans. Are they REALLY that bad? Are you saying they got lucky? Or are the Saints overrated?

Buffalo took the Ravens to OT the week before. The Ravens. Let that sink in. One of the best defenses in the NFL was scorched for 500 yards against the team ranked dead last in offense.

The only thing scary about SF was Vernon Davis, Frank Gore, and their (at the time) 5th ranked run defense. We kept Davis in check, held Gore under 100 yards rushing, and picked apart their defense.

MJD was the main threat to the Chiefs. He was also held under 100 yards rushing.

If anything, this shows game to game different teams can show up. The Chiefs who demolished SF can show up Sunday. Or the Chiefs who struggled putting the Bills away can show up. Record ultimately matters, but even the worst teams in the NFL are going to give you their best shot.

Cleveland is garbage, they just played hard to give the fans something special in beating the SB champs and they are 2-5.

Read between the lines.

The type of team you face does not matter. The only thing which matters is the W/L column. Beat the teams you should and remain competitive with or defeat the teams who are statistically better than you. That is something the Chiefs have done all season.

I could sit here and nitpick all your wins and losses. In the end, it does not matter. It’s any given Sunday. We’re a competitive team who has faced some tough opponents. And every team in the NFL should be viewed as such.

It’s ALWAYS a close and competitive game. I expect the Raiders to win, it’s being played in YOUR house. I’m hoping for a KC “W” but not holding my breath.

We played them on the road and handled them defensively.

Watched him shaking his head the entire game because Crennel’s schemes and zone packages actually confused him for a rare change.

Here to a good game from two improved teams

coming from a chiefs fan I think this is going to be one hell of a game. Like always it will be close and decided by a field goal. Game could go either way.

But has anyone put into thought the following weeks even if you do win. Here’s how I see our two teams finishing the season.

Chiefs -————————————-Raiders————————-
-———————————————————————————————-
@Den (W) (6-3) BYE (5-4) Chiefs should win this Oak gets rest
Ari (W) (7-3) @Pitt (L) (5-5) Chiefs should win this one also — Pitt is too strong
@ Sea (L) (7-4) Mia (w) (6-5) This week confused me either game could switch
Den (W) (8-4) @S.D. (L) (6-6) should be able to sweep Den , dont see you beating sd twice
@S.D. (L) (8-5) @Jac (W) (7-6) we dont win there either, you should roll Jac
@StL (W) (9-5) Den (W) (8-6) wins for both sides
Tenn (L) (9-6) Indy (L) (8-7) tough week after both winning
Oak (W) (10-6) K.C. (L) (8-8) Arrowhead is a tough place to win in – we split

In classic Raiders / Chiefs matchups the AFCW will come down to the last game, and will run through one of our teams.. If you win the last one it will come down to a tie breaker.Which you will win.

RE: Jackson and Dorsey

Jackson has been hampered by injury for much of the season (5 games missed), which is one of the big reasons he hasn’t been making an impact. But the larger point that’s lost here is the DE responsibilities in a 3-4 system. Their first and primary responsibility is two-gap control in the run game, freeing the LBs to make the tackles on the second level without having to brush off FBs or OGs on the second level. As for passing situations, we utilize some different personnel in clear passing situations, bringing in Wallace Gilberry as our pass rushing DE. Dorsey has got some pretty decent pressure at times this season, but something that seems to be a part of Hali’s game is Dorsey commanding a double team by the interior lineman on pass rushes, freeing up Hali for a one on one matchup with the T.

The only guy on the Chiefs who scares me is Eric Berry. Eric Berry is a bad ass motherfucker.

Berry has been great in run support, but at times has been a liability in the passing game. He is just a rookie and all.

Flowers, according to Matt Williamson, Scouts, Inc. has been playing better than Revis, and just as good as Namdi.

Brandon Carr’s looking pretty good too.

by cpa913 on Nov 5, 2010 1:28 PM PDT reply actions  

Nnamdi is the best CB in the league.Period. It pisses me off to no end when they try to compare guys in their 3rd or 4th year who are ball hawks. Don’t get me wrong, Revis and Flowers are amazing, but Nnamdi is on a whole different level. He knows what the QB is going to do before the WR even makes his cut.

Agreed. Nnamdi is a cut above.

A lot of interceptions is a good indication that you’re not as good, or they would have stopped throwing in your direction by now.

He's been doing it for years, which makes him special

Flowers was OK his rookie year, good last year, and has been fantastic this year.

However, until he’s done it for at least a couple of years at this level he can’t be put in the same league.

The matchup was considered a draw by football outsiders

I think Andre had 3 catches for decent yards. But the only big catch he had, he pushed off on Flowers for seperation, and yet Flowers got flagged for Pass Interference. That was the turning point in that game.

He may not go up against Randy Moss every week

But he frustrated the hell out of Philip Rivers and Peyton Manning

by cpa913 on Nov 5, 2010 2:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

With Flowers

He plays the left side of the D, and doesn’t shadow the top WR. So it’s whoever he is matched up with.

He’s not giving up many catches though, and as cpa said, Rivers and Manning couldn’t throw to his side.

This is going to be a close one...

but with Nnamdi/Miller Out and the Raiders having a 29th ranked rushing defense; JC will go for about 120 yards with 1 TD and Jones will go for about 77-85 yards with 1 TD. I think chiefs #7 rushing defense will hold McFadden in check for the game and hold him under 100 yds, but he’ll still get at least 1 TD. The Chiefs controlling the clock and play-action off the run will be the difference….Chiefs 21 – Raiders 17

God I love that the Chargers are no longer on top

As much as I hate the raiders, Id much rather see us two vying for the division then those faggots. Honestly though, if the Chiefs win this game, if the division almost locked up considering a 3 game lead and a very easy schedule for the chiefs the rest of the way?

Ill throw a prediction in there as well 24-13 Chiefs

I think with the rain coming all sunday its all about the running game and trench play, which the chiefs have the slight advantage in. We have a true game manager in Cassel which is what we need in the rain and no matter what he always finds a way to keep us in games

I absolutely love this rivalry, my waiter today was a DIE HARD raiders fan(unusual to see in illinois) and i think he spit in my food because I had a chiefs shirt on.

I love the blowout predictions by Raider fans, they're going to make the win that much nicer for KC

Fact is that there’s about zero chance KC gets blown out…lose maybe, but no blowout. KC will stick to the same gameplan they’ve had all season long, which is to run the ball & stick to safe, high percentage passes. As for the Oakland offense, with two of your top 3 pass catchers likely out & Flowers shutting down DHB, you’re going to be stuck trying to rely on McFadden. Romeo knows this, and he’ll have a scheme ready to contain him.

The biggest problem for Oakland is that your guys rely on capitalizing on mistakes and turnovers by the opposition. KC doesn’t make too many mistake or turn the ball over.

My prediction is a low scoring game through three quarters, with KC pulling away in the 4th off of a couple bad picks thrown by Campbell. 24-10 KC.

This year IS be better.

oops. Think it will be a blowout either way

But your “zero chance” shit is why you guys are a joke. The chance is not high, but what if your run game is shut down? what if we get up early and cassel has to pass? A blowout is possible. 5 wins against a soft schedule and now youre the 85 bears. I love how since you havent turned the ball over much it is completely impossible that it will ever happen.

Look who our defense has played

SD, #1 offense. Indy, #2 offense. Houston, #7 offense. So yes we’ve faced some decent opponents, offensively. We don’t think we’re the best, but we are good. As for your Offense. Which defenses have you played? You’ve played SD #1, the next best… STL at #11 then it gets worse. HOU at #32, SEA at #26, ARI at #27 and DEN at #24. I think there’s about 2% chance of a Raider Blowout win

A reasonable presentation if assessed by averaging out our first 8 / 7 games this season

but, ultimately failing because the Raiders since the SF disaster are not the same team they were before. How does Charles run in mud? Are his slashing cutbacks possible? No. We predicted the KC improvement early and it came to pass; we also predicted our own greater and surpassing improvement, that to has come to pass and the proof manifests tomorrow.

by Sons-of-Blanda on Nov 6, 2010 10:17 AM PDT up reply actions  

I think Charles had a pretty good game last year @ Oakland...I recall a long rushing TD

But if your DL can stonewall the run game and generate consistant pressure against Cassel, I think Oakland has a good shot at a win. If they don’t do that I’ll be very surprised with an Oakland victory. Maybe you’re right that the team has changed, but I’m not buying it until I see it against a decent team.

But KC fans always leave to mix it up a little with the opposition. Isn’t it more fun that way? Beside that, I think we are a lot more cordial than the fans of most other teams trolling around…for the most part.

This game will be high-scoring

There is absolutely no question in my mind that when both offenses step on the field today, they will dominate. There is a reason we are both atop the mother-fuggin league in rushing. The emphasis/pressure put on each defense to stop the opposing run will open up what I forsee as-a big day for both Cassel and Campbell.

Great offense trumps good defense in this once again meaningful battle. Although a big play on defense may just be the deciding factor in this one. This will be a Berry good game. ; )
