Raiders vs. Chiefs: Confidence, ADD and How They Killed the Raiders

Hue Jackson and his team had a million things going on, and where they had been able to push those things away to hone on a singular focus the last couple of weeks, this week they tried to focus on them all. The results were similar to a disheveled sock drawer left behind by a tweaked out speed freak's ambitious alphabetizing project.
I had meant to comment on this game earlier, but every time I started writing it quickly spun out of control—to the point where I offended myself when I reread it. It was just such an ugly and pathetic effort.
The Chiefs came into the O.co and waltzed their way to an easy victory. It still makes me want to take a ballpine hammer, some TNT, duck tape, 2 barbie dolls, Axl Rose and a beat up Kia and....wait, focus Rich.
It's not that the Raiders lost. With the QB situation, the injuries and an improved Chiefs team that was a tough test, but it is the way they lost. Jump over for the grim details....
No one seemed certain of their job. It was a sloppy and unfocused effort. The blame for that starts with Hue. The Raiders spent the week trying to figure out who was going to be their QB, and as a result they split reps and none of them were ready.
Kyle Boller was garbage. He made absolutely horrible decisions that if he wasn't such a poor QB would be hard to fathom. Still this was not a game plan that was going to utilize his strengths while minimizing his weaknesses.
For instance, Boller never needs to thow another out on an NFL field. Nothing good comes of it. This common route should not even be in the playbook when he is in the game.
I could go on, but this happened on all levels. Guys simply weren't prepared to succeed. In a game where many needed things simple so they could focus on just a few things, things were complicated and they couldn't focus on any.
The Raiders were spread to thin, and I believer their recent success made them think they could handle it. They couldn't. They tried to do to much and lost their identity in the process.
They now have the bye week to devote themselves to getting back to what works.

Nice write up Rich
You described the frustration perfectly in a vivid and humorous way. Nobody blames u for not wanting to write this and holy fuck does Boller suck. BTW FIRST!

I got the same impression. Above all, and not that is was an excuse, it felt as if they were mentally absent out there
a very bizarre weekend throughout the league. I’ll say nothing about KB, since I’ve nothing good to say.
Great analogy by the way with the tweaker’s sock drawer, but I felt what we saw Sunday was less the accidental by product the sock drawer would represent than target of the tweaker’s alphabetization, unless of course it was the items in the sock drawer…
two long weeks to stew on that, and two long weeks to put it long behind us. I hope it’s not ultimately revealed what you say about Kyle’s passes on other particular routes holds just as true… very uninspiring.

Bahahaha awesome analogy breakdown.
In the end, this may prove to be a great thing. Remember last year how horrid they were coming out of the bye? And that bye came after the Raiders beat the Chiefs for their third win in a row.
Hopefully, this outcome shows them exactly what they have to focus on, and exactly who they have to be to win.

First and Goal = No Points
Did y’all like Derrick Johnson? Yeah, I thought so.
Congrats on sweeping the division last year (still not sure how you pulled that off) and missing the playoffs.
Let me be the first to congratulate you on missing the playoffs again this year. That was a humiliating defeat, at home, against a division rival… ouch.
Lord, the Chiefs get to three wins, and the maggots of their fan base fester towards the surface.

listen to your pal there trolltroll
Your still behind us in the division and your about to be demolished by the Lions. Enjoy your week of optimism because the earthshattering loss your about to feel is going to hurt just as bad as ours did this week. Your “football” team put 21 of your 28 points on a team led by Kyle Boller for crying out loud. Your going to be that high on your horse because u had a pick 6 on him and a pick 6 on a Guy that was on our team for 3 days after not playing for a year. When we beat your asses at your house later this year (similar to the way we dismantled you last year and left you weakened with your morale crushed) you will feel a lot worse than we do right now. You will be crawling back into your hole soon enough.

I'm pretty sure we play the Chargers next
not the Lions. Also, since you are pointing out flaws. The Raiders played a Chiefs team without their best offensive and defensive player. So honestly, don’t make excuses.
Dude we were WAY more decimated by injury than you were ...
No Campbell or Seabass, both lost within the last week
No McFadden, lost at the beginning of the game
No McClain, lost at the beginning of the game
No Reese, our starting fullback
No Shillens, one of our leading receivers, scratched on Saturday I believe
Huff didn’t practice all week due to injury (and played like it) and his backup Giordano was a gametime scratch due to illness (or something)
Satele didn’t practice during the week due to injury either but still played (badly)
This isn’t counting our guys on IR: Goethel (LB), Eugene (special teams stud and a solid safety who would’ve played for the banged up Huff), and Matt Shaughnessy, probably our best defensive end.
Chiefs have 3 guys out on IR afaik that’s the extent of your injured starters. And you’ve had 5 weeks to adjust to losing those guys.
You can’t even compare your injuries to what we were dealing with. Hell, losing Campbell and Seabass alone makes up for the 3 guys you got on IR, nevermind all the rest.

Oh yeah, I forgot one ...
We were also down to our 3rd string corner on one side, DeMarcus Van Dyke.

In terms of no excuses, what about the second SD game last year...
You were blanked by the Dolts in a way worse than how we lost to you, but I guess you cannot use the excuse that Croyle started because Cassel had an appendectomy. It’s pretty serious when you lose a starting qb wouldn’t you say?

On top of that you had two weeks to prepare
And we had one massively distraction-filled week.
I called it coming in to this game that we were at a major disadvantage in this game and wouldn’t be the least surprised if we lost it. Your entire season was on the line … you lost that game, you guys were DONE, and you knew it. We had the game to give. Not that I wanted us to, but we did.
I’ll give it to the Chiefs, they were far more focused, healthy, and wanted it more than we did. But we were at a major disadvantage in this game, and I believe you’re gonna see something entirely different when we meet again at your house later in the year.

I'm not saying that those injuries didnt have an effect on the outcome
But coach Haley was very adamant in making sure his players are well conditioned after the lockout and shortened offseason. He took things really slow in the preseason to just work on conditioning and the Chiefs looked horrible. They still weren’t conditioned enough the first two weeks where they were sloppy and embarassed instead of putting up a fight. Now they are healthier than other teams because they took the steps to do that. Basically I’m saying Chiefs get some credit in the war of attrition.
Injuries are unfortunate, but it’s part of the game and some injury risk can be avoided with the proper approach the team takes. You can put as many asterisks on a W or L due to injury but the records books don’t see it the same way.
And btw, Week 17 in 2010 when Raiders manhandled the Chiefs at Arrowhead…the Raiders had about 10 people on the injury report and McFadden out. Chiefs had one. Raiders still won easily.

yeah your right it is monday night against the Chargers, I dont know where the Lions came from. Brain Fart.
Seriously, as horrible as losing Berry and Charles is, trying to fucking play Kyle Boller and then a QUARTERBACK who was only with the team for 3 days is way harder than playing without Charles and Berry. Both of those players are great, great players and its hard to win without them. However Kyle Boller is god freaking awful and you know it. Dont try and pretend like the two mitigated each other when they did not in the slightest. Kyle Boller would lose with a high school team. The quarterback not being able to hold onto the ball or throw to the right team makes a way bigger difference than not having a safety or a running back. You know it man, so dont try and act like for that game it made us even. It did not. I would not believe you for one second if you said you would take them back and play with Boller, and if you think that would be better than where your at you are a fool. Boller is garbage, and Palmer shouldnt have had to be on the field yet.

Losing Campbell was unfortunate
But the front office/Hue Jackson should have had a more solid backup in case of emergencies. Wasn’t Bruce solid? Why let him go for Boller?
Apparently you dont know about our backup safeties
Yeah Boller is unfortunate but A NFL team should be prepared for anything. The Raiders know what they have in their backup. I’m not going to lose any sleep over excuses.
Sure, no excuses. I believe the rest of the football world still knows who the stronger or better team is.

Wow 4 wins and the Raider nation goes crazy. The “stronger” and “better” team didn’t win the division last year. The Raiders still have a lot to work on before they become better. The Chiefs showed the world a weakness in the Raiders which is lack of depth and conditioning. Until you guys work on the almost 10 penalties per game average you won’t win much.
We'll see you guys later in the year ...
With an actual NFL caliber QB with more than 3 days practice, we’re going to embarrass you at your house (again). Mark it down …

Nice post
It was about as a unique a loss as I’ve seen in about 9 years. It never felt like a blow out, but it also never felt like we had a chance. The utter shock of watching Boller and knowing that we had no one else who could really step up. Watching DMC fume on the sidelines after only 2 carries. No Seebass. JC on the sidelines with a sling on. Then the stat of having only 2 active DB’s. And Dan Fouts is a piece of dook. I sat and watched this debacle like a slow train wreck (is that even possible?). Either way, the bye is here. And we all have a solid two weeks to lick our wounds. Hue dropped the ball, I’m sure he has learned much. Honestly, if we get our team healthy, I’m really looking forward to the next KC game. I expect I will be watching “There Will Be Blood” just prior to this game. Can’t wait.

We didnt lose to the cheifs, we lost to the boller!!!
It just seemed like he took all the energy out of the whole stadium right from the get go with that pick 6, boller just set the tone for the rest of the game, the defense to me played well, i loved that hit that curry put on jones where he was all over him and took him out of bounds, but boller……i mean come on you would think after two seasons he would know a little bit about the offense, but he looked horrible, and that one drive towards the end of the first half when thet were movin down field i was like this is perfect if we score we get the ball at half and we will have the momentum on our side, then he comes out and just throws a dud and it gets picked off, and thats when i had it with boller, i began to have flashback of the fat one(jamarcus russell) that night i had to check under my bed to see if russell was under there.
Agreed
Hate to pile it on a guy, but I put this one squarely on Boller. If you look at the Chiefs offensive #‘s, they really didn’t have a very good day. Our defense was sufficient to have kept us in this game if only we could have found some offense. Like you said, Boller set the tone, then DMC went down. Not much we could do to recover from all that…
...Watching DeMarcus Cousins’ transformation from large human to immortal kill beast...
A Tranaction Needs To Be Made....Cut The Crap Form This Team And Bring In Anyone Who Has Heart!!!
Boller has to go!!!..Than we have 2 roster spots to fill…

Hue's been seriously EXPOSED Nation.
1: It was Mr. Davis , and I’m sure Hue to a great extent that decided to go into this season with our fate in the hands of Jason Campbell (a marginal ,game MANAGING QB at best) and Kyle Boller as the back up. Kyle Boller. THEY let Bruce Almighty go to Cincy supposedly because of money / cap etc. and Frye was let go as well. Tyrell was an after thought – period. Bet we wish we paid Bruce and let Boller go , don’t we. Oh , that’s right , we DID have a backup plan all along while Pryor was in suspension – Shane Lechler . Great fucking planning guys!
2: Hue didn’t flinch going into this game or appear worried about the QB situation because good ‘Ol DMac will pull us through and I really believe that he felt Boller could do no worse than Campbell and “manage” the game . But Coach Todd out coached Hue -BIG TIME.
Todd saw the Achille’s heel from the get go just like every other fucking Coach in the N.F.L. has this season. Stuff the run for a series or two and when “Coach” gets antsy and abandons the run game and turns to his High School caliber QB you will beat the shit out of the Raiders. I’m a fan of trick plays at strategic times , but the debacle on Sunday was embarrasing. Take a Rookie on his first play in the N.F.L. , all jacked up on adrenaline , and make that play as complicated as possible? Nice Coaching job Hue,great confidence builder for the kid and your fans.
The point is Nation we ALL knew that the QB position was a problem before day one. If Raider Nation can sit on our asses ,drink beer and catch a buzz and still see these issues where’s Hue? I’ve seen some shitty games (played and Coached) in my 44 years of watching the Team . This was one of the worst (top 3) . Hue has 2 weeks to restore what little faith I have in him , with or without his star running back. I PRAY two weeks will be enough time for Carson to digest the playbook and timing with the receivers. Then again, he is the first REAL Quarterback Raider Nation’s had since Gannon. No Joke!
Jerry Garcia will be watching Hue , get your shit together! R.F.F.R.
On the other side of the ball, why didn't we blitz? It worked before too perfectly?

When we did blitz either Bowe or Steve Breaston were running uncovered.
If Cassell played about a 1/3 more accurate this game would have been even worse if you could believe it. The blitz didn’t make a difference in a game like this. Let’s just move on and focus on the Denver Tebows.
Trust No One
Studies show stress can kill you, but don't worry about it.
Exposed as a rookie I suppose ...
Who didn’t deal well with one of the most distraction-filled weeks any NFL coach has probably ever had to deal with … I’ll buy that.
If you’re saying he’s been ‘exposed’ as being a flat-out shitty coach just because of this game, I’m going to have to take issue w/that.
Hue made some grave errors in judgment in this game, I’ll give you that. But I think we should cut him some slack … between losing the starting QB and then the hoopla surrounding picking up Palmer, this week has been anything but routine.
I think with JC and Seabass in this game, we win. Even w/o all the trickery that went wrong, we still would’ve won.

Also I think it shows once again that the Head Coach making GM moves is not beneficial most times
I like the trade so that part im not talking about but just the fact that Hue was so involved in making the trade happen that the game planning very much suffered. I dont like sacrificing coaching for GMing or vice versa.

Hues next man up philosophy
came back to bite him in the ass. He tried to run the same plays for Boller that he has run for JC, instead of protecting Boller from himself and running conservative short and quick routes. Hue needs to realize the limitatoins of his backups and game plan to minimize the risks.

and the complete lack of offense from us
This defense has been suspect all year, we’ve just been scoring enough points to minimize the defensive ineffectiveness. Buffalo and then the Pats showed us the weaknesses of this “D”
If we have to rely on this defense, with all it’s injuries and ineffectiveness we’ll be in big trouble.
i.e. we need Carson to come in and score points the way JC did or better, or this season is sunk.

Dirty Harry Callahan
To be fair
That D is littered with guys that Haley has challenged and demoted in order to get them to play their best.
Ever since he benched DJ for almost all of ‘09, he’s been lights out. T-Jax has been much, much better since seeing half his playing time taken from him last year and having to earn it back.
But yes, it was certainly more our defense than offense that won the game. Our offense was “meh” at best.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
I still hope they were bringing in 40 QB's this week to replace Boller he was awful and a quitter...
D-line had minimal impact on the game and the rest of the D picked up the slack that was nice to see
Seymour 1 tackles 0 sacks
Kelly 2 tackles 2 assists 0 sacks
Henderson 1 tackle 0 sacks
Moss 2 tackles 0 sacks
Houston 2 tackles 0 sacks

A D line doesn't need to get sacks to be considered dominant
A D Line is dominant as long as if they force the qb to throw bad passes and they dont get pushed around in the run game.

some pressure on the QB would have been nice.
Cassel had plenty of time to find his open receivers. If there was ever a game where we needed the “D” to be dominant it was last game and they were not, with no QB pressure, shitty tackling and poor coverage it was pathetic.

No it doesn't but QB pressure really helps a D that has 2 CB's active...
The pressure seemed lacking but I don’t think the D played bad the O gave up 14 points… Curry almost saved 7 points on the 1 depending on a review. I wasn’t complaining, I was stating the rest of the D played a little better than in previous weeks overall. Curry has been a bigger impact than many of us could have expected and made a big difference.

With the offense punting so much, the D got tired, and I don't really blame the D.

Raider Loss
I agree that K.B. was terrible , Palmer wasn’t ready to play yet , and T.P. needs time to develop his game with this team. Having D Mac. hurt didn’t help us at all. but besides all of our poor play , we still had some oportunities that we blew.and would have put us in the game. Not scoring when you are on the 5 yard line…. Then the offense getting penalties to help stop any progress, and the Defense getting penalties to help keep KC’s drives going when they should have been given us the ball back. these were major factors that led us to that defeat We need to put it behind us and move on . We willcome together as a good team and grow into a Great team . Just keep the faith Nation.
this coach is so dumb
that he didn’t know that Javier Arenas play on DEF and he was on the field when he was playing QB where the timeout dumb shit and clueing in your DEF players!!!
All I can say is both Boller and Palmer absolutely shit the bed!
Palmer has the excuse of having been sitting on the couch since last season and only being with us for 3 days but Boller stunk it up so bad that it was all downhill from there! and yet KC still couldn’t get anything done on their own all their points came from Boller and Palmers pics! we had more yards in the air and on the ground. KC did NOT win that game we GAVE it to them!
"Just Win Baby" is not a philosophy, it is a way of life!
