Chiefs 23, Raiders 17
- New season, same Raiders. Far too many penalties, both real and imagined. That pass interference call on Moss was one of the worst calls I've ever seen, but them's the breaks you get when you wear the Silver and Black.
- So, what happened to throwing down the field, guys? Nothing against LaMont Jordon, but he should never lead this team in receptions.
- The defense is markedly improved this season (how could it not be?), but that didn't stop it from folding at the most inopportune times. Down the stretch, they couldn't have stopped the Chiefs on third down if they were in KC's huddle.
- Charles Woodson is the most overrated (and overpaid) player in football... maybe all of sports.
- The ESPN crew is going to have to be sanitized after crawling out of Tony Gonzalez's ass.
- Fourth down, throwing to the corner of the endzone for the win, and you go to... Jerry Porter? Hey Norv: I like Jerry Porter as much as anybody, but what the fuck were you thinking?
JOSH: I was gonna post on this, but Richard beat me to it. I agree that the pass interference call on Moss was a bad call, but when I first saw it, I thought it was (before the replays) because he put his hands on the guy then went up for it. However, he did not extend his arms, and as such, it was not pushing, and not pass interference. The Raiders defense was good at tackling when they reached the ball carrier, but there were several instances where they just completely missed the guy. They cannot stop any important 3rd downs, their special teams coverage sucks (although it is nice to see the Chiefs getting called for blocking in the back on Hall's runbacks now), Kerry Collins is terrible (how many guys did he under and overthrow?), and Janikowski has the aim of a drunk (oh, wait...). On the plus side, Moss, Jordan, and Porter did decent to well and their blocking units have come up with 3 blocks in two games.
