Good win for the Chiefs. Didnt expect a shutout but i love it. The last time we played the Raiders, they embarrassed us at home. I just wanted a win. The shutout was the cherry on top.

3 in a row for the Chiefs now.

And it was just a month ago that folks were calling for his head after the first 2-3 games.

So I was wrong, but to be fair, I thought Carson Palmer would start. Had I known at that point (it was announced on later) that Kyle Boller would start, I would have said KC would pull the upset easy. The DMC injury was huge, even if Bush was solid in relief.

Congrats to the Chiefs. With a Raiders and Chargers loss, they are right back in the division race.

Wow...that felt good. I'm still in a good mood about that win.

It's difficult to give the Chiefs a lot of credit in this one. The Raiders QBs handed them the game. When your offense can only muster up 14 points in a game where you force that many turnovers, that's not OK. Cassel should know the the deep ball is not his thing. His accuracy is all about short-medium passes.

Thomas Jones has completely fallen off. He just doesn't have the burst through the line that he used to. Battle should be getting more and more carries as the season goes on as it looks like he should be the main guy in the running game.

Being in a position to play for a share of the division lead next Monday night is not what I expected after the first couple games. Not sure we have what it takes, this season, but I like what I'm seeing here lately.
