Raiders red zone is atrocious. Unless something miraculous happens, Raiders will answer KC TDs with FGs and the lead will steadily grow as the game goes. [Reply]

The Colts defense is still top half of the league in DVOA. The Raiders are 20th. The Bucs are 4th even after the loss.
The Raiders are going to throw the kitchen sink at him but does anybody think their defense is good enough to do with the Colts did? I don't.
If the Chiefs can stop the run, which they've been good at, they win this game.
I agree with all of this, but stopping the run this week is probably the difference between winning convincingly and just winning if our offense performs like they did against the Buccaneers.
If our offense has a Colts game and the run defense sucks, Raiders have a chance.
If neither happens, Chiefs win in a blowout. If only one happens, Chiefs win a close one.

McD just needs to feed Josh instead of trying to get cute with the passing game in the RZ. [Reply]

On to the Bills.
Oh no, no you don't! I think this may have been what happened in the Colts game [besides muffed punts, kicker not being able to hit the broad side of a barn, errant flags (Teh Refs)] was looking ahead to the Fuccaneers. Ala tarp game, except it's Raiders week, so it's difficult to have a tarp game with them.
