Because they were less confident in their abilities/ and things they could get away with. And they even mentioned how confident they were because of the things they went over in practice...

The raiders gave that game away. It wasnt like the chiefs were playing great defense, running all over us, and throwing touchdowns. The radiers actually had more yards and played d its just the raiders made some costly mistakes and they capitolized. we left alot of points on the board because we were tryin things we things we felt we could get away with just because we were playing a lesser team. If it were anyother team theyd of played it safe. And saying we beat ourselves is not a cop out its the truth. The raiders gave that game away.

At the time the broncos were the top team in the AFC west and the raiders werent officially out of the playoff race. They had beatin the chiefs before and the chiefs had only won one game... So why wouldnt they be confident they could beat the chiefs?? Your talking as if the chiefs are the chargers or patriots. Please dont argue raiders with me because you will not win.

If that was the case they would have not won those last 2 games because according to you they had no confidence in themselves that they could do so... Also your argument is weak because that game in which they lost to the chiefs came after a 35-10 victory over the broncos in donkeyville.

You stated the Raiders came out too confident. Then proceeded to say the coach called a bad game. That's not the same as coming out confident, at all. Team played flat, pretty much like most of the year. Again, the team had ZERO reasons to feel confident, considering how the season went so far. Again, it's a copout to state "they didn't win it, we lost it" Was more a case of Cable calling the most unlikely to be successful trick play of the year, that became the difference in winning or losing.

That’s not the same as coming out confident, at all.

Again, the team had ZERO reasons to feel confident, considering how the season went so far.

Again, it’s a copout to state “they didn’t win it, we lost it”

WTF is wrong with people? Step away from the computer and go get some air. I always read the articles and rarely the comments because it seems that more often than not the people posting;

Trust me I watch every raider game I know what im talking about. All the trick plays and fake field goals looked of a team that was too confident. They would have never tried those plays on the patriots or steelers... So what does that tell you? They had beaten the chiefs before already in the season and they had won only one game up to that point. The raiders whole demanor that game was as if "we've got this one in the bag." And you say "kc beat you" as if you're not a raiders fan, and if you're not a raiders fan i'd like to ask why are you on here??? No ricochet they were confident.

And even the year B4 then we beat them in arrowhead and they stole one from us in oakland. And yes we lost to them last year, but they didnt beat us we beat ourselves. The raiders came out a lil too confident that game if you ask me. ====================== A little too confident? the Raiders? The '08 Raiders, with Russell behind center? THAT TEAM?? What are you? A comedian? How could the Raiders ever have gone onto the field "confident"? KC beat you. Get over it. Save the "we beat ourselves". That's a copout. Dmac20 Says:
