Final: Raiders 26, Chiefs 16
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, October 28th, 2012 at 4:07 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders inserted themselves into the AFC West picture with the help of four Sebastian Janikowski field goals and two touchdown passes from Carson Palmer in a 26-16 win Sunday over the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
Oakland’s second straight win and sixth in a row in Kansas City improved its record to 3-4, the same as the San Diego Chargers, with Denver, 3-3, playing New Orleans Sunday night.
Kansas City, 1-6, came into the game with a league-worst minus-15 turnover differential, and true to form, coughed the ball up four times to once for Oakland.
Two of the Chiefs miscues were unforced, with Javier Arenas muffing a punt that led to a 9-yard Palmer-to-Denarius Moore touchdown and a fumbled snap by Matt Cassel leading to Janikowski’s 29-yard field goal.
A third turnover, an interception by Matt Giordano against starter Brady Quinn, also led to a Janikowski field goal. An interception by Pat Lee near the Raiders goal line with 4:58 to play sent what was left of the 74,730 in attendance streaming for the exits.
The Raiders had just one turnover on the game’s first play _ a deep throw intended for Darrius Heyward-Bey that was intercepted by former Oakland cornerback Stanford Routt.
Routt struggled the rest of the day, and missed a one-on-one tackle on Heyward-Bey’s 32-yard touchdown pass from Palmer to cap an 80-yard drive and give Oakland a 23-9 lead with 5:40 left in the third quarter.
Janikowski, now 32-for-36 on field goal attempts at Arrowhead, connected from 36, 35, 29 and 32 yards _ the final conversion coming after he missed at 37 with the Chiefs jumping offsides.
The Chiefs had field goals from Ryan Succup of 32, 52 and 52 yards, and finally broke through for a touchdown pass from Cassel to Dexter McCluster from 10 yards out with 2:27 remaining.
Quinn was forced to leave the game in the first half with a head injury after throwing just four passes.
As evidenced by the four field goals, the Raiders execution deep in Kansas City territory left something to be desired, but the Raiders defense allowed only three field goals by Ryan Succup from distances of 30, 42 and 52 yards.
Running back Darren McFadden, bottled up for much of the day, got enough yards late with the Raiders protecting a lead to finish with 112 yards on 28 carries, his second 100-yard game of the season.
Defensively, the Raiders pressured Quinn and Cassel throughout, with Rolando McClain, Philip Wheeler and Richard Seymour recording sacks.
The Raiders, who struggled protecting the passer in last week’s 26-23 overtime win over Jacksonville, did well in that area against the Chiefs. Palmer was not sacked and had plenty of time to throw throughout.
Oakland, which had 21 penalties in the last two games, had just two for 25 yards against the Chiefs.
The Raiders return home next week against Tampa Bay with a chance to get to .500.

And to all the Hue lovers: Please direct me to any win Hue had as HC that was by more points than today’s win. Thank you.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:08 pm
Hope this shuts up the DA and Reggie haters. This defense is getting better by the minute.
The Raiders will win the AFC West this season. Mark me down for that one.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:08 pm
JUST WIN BABY.
Did u see REGGIE’s GUYS? making plays? Pat LEE.. WHEELER? BURRIS???
October 28th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
And I love the GEICO play of the day – Nnamdi getting burned for a long TD.
Still want him and his monstrous salary demands?
October 28th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
Also: I’m taking bets on when those worthless trolls Al_is_theraiders, AmysInCharge and Oakfoshow will appear. I’m betting on “never.” They’re no doubt crying in their root beers that we won.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
Coming together really nicely.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
Two leading tackles are Wheeler and Burris.
The Reggie is beyond awesome

October 28th, 2012 at 4:11 pm
MY boy Stevie Brown still around the ball ALL the time in NY I see.
Epic miss by GM JFB, lol

He still had less than 4 yards a carry.

Back to Back WINS!
Any time we beat KC is a damn good week.
Gotta get it right for next week, TB is going to be ready.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Don’t know the penalty stats, but it seemed as if DA got that back under control today as well.
KC sucks on offense no doubt, but our guys were flying around on D. Great effort today.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Where are the CP3 haters now? Drink up. Enjoy the win.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
Gio finds his way around the ball as well, but yeah Stevie can play.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
Next week is going to be a tough one. But I have a feeling it is going to be Dmac’s break out game, even though Bucs have a tough run defense.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
Impressive that Raiders beat 2 teams coming off a bye.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
THE RAIDERS DID BEAT UP ON A WEAK TEAM.2 IN A ROW IS NICE THOUGH.MAKE IT 3 AND A .500 RECORD AFTER NEXT WEEK..
October 28th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
Good to get a win on the road. Kind of a deceptive win based on KC failures but we got the job done even though we failed in the red zone and dropped a lot of balls. We can contend if we continue to improve. KC has no QB but we stopped the run. Good game plan on D ! Nice actually have a game plan on D
October 28th, 2012 at 4:14 pm
SAINTS!!!
October 28th, 2012 at 4:14 pm
2 in a Row baby! With tampon bay at home next week! Let’s get to 500 and build some momentum!
October 28th, 2012 at 4:14 pm
Great win today for the silver and black. Against a divisional opponent nonetheless. Have some tough games coming up though. The Browns beating the Chargers was awesome. Just an overall great day in football. Ill be rooting for the Saints tonight but Knapp still isn’t out of my dog-house just yet.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
Great win today. Not the prettiest, but against KC, a division rival and desperate team off a bye, we did pretty well. Our D bailed us out today. But that is a good thing. Because we are now seeing the changes and adjustments made after the bye have worked. It’s progress, and even though KC is not all that threatening offensively, we did managed to stop their running, and made both their QBs look very uncomfortable.
Plus we are tied for first now!
Next week will be a good measure stick for us.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
So, Profootballtalk.com writer Darin Grantt has a synopsis of the game.
In it, he states: “And good teams aren’t 3-4 this time of year.”
Does that mean the Chargers and Raiders are on equal footing, meaning, they’re both “bad teams”.
And say the Broncos lose later tonight and they are 3-4.
Does that make Denver, Oakland and San Diego all “bad teams”?

October 28th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
That was the worst 100 yd effort by Mcfadden but once again this Defense has surprise the heck out of me..completely shutting down Jamaal Charles…Wheeler and Burris are straight BALLERS
October 28th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
Mush, you are beyond retarded.
The Raiders didn’t win, the Chiefs LOST.
Get the Kool aid out of your eyes.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
Without Greg Knapp we are 6-2.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:16 pm
Good Job RAIDERS…Victory coupled with a disc loss…
GREAT weekend.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:16 pm
One at a time…. Beat the ” Buck An Ears”…. Expensive corn ….
October 28th, 2012 at 4:16 pm
Palmer played another good game, if it wasn’t for all the drops that were perfect throws he would of had great stats for this game. And a shoutout to the Oline, they played better today
October 28th, 2012 at 4:16 pm
Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

————————–
The glass is half full, man. I promise. They won. That’s all that matters. All around good effort. Not perfect, but they beat a team they should have beat. And with some luck they may be still be in first place after tonight’s game.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
31… True…. Could have easily had another 10 , 14 points…
October 28th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
9 takeaways last 3 games. Love the way this D is playing and finally 2 real linebackers.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
Raiders should move up to #25 in the power poll.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:19 pm
Stevie Brown makes plays.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:19 pm
back to back wins against really bad teams is an improvement whos next
October 28th, 2012 at 4:19 pm
LB’s looked really good, including McClain.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:19 pm
Their were a few drops … Palmer played a very good game

First post game troll sighting.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
Just some Observations:
1)Dmac and Goodson–did a hell of alot better with a fullback in the backfield. Especially when we needed to run clock while ahead.
I do not know why the coaches stopped using FBs, in the Fourth, and then boom DMAC hit in the backfield
Here’s a hint–On obvious running downs use a FB to help wear down the opposing Defense
2) These WRs are taking points off the board. We need a possession big-sized WR for 3downs and Redzone.
3) The Defense looks much improved, Burris and especially Wheeler looked like he was everywhere today. And the Catch of the GAME Lee INT!
October 28th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
My evaluation…
Biggest Problems on this Team thus far:
1. O Line / Blocking (this includes Meyers horrible blocking)
Marginally better. Still a lot of work to do.
2. DE’s (missing in action most the year)
Marginally better. Still a lot of work to do.
3. Dropped Passes (TEs, RB, WRs, in the Red Zone in particular)
A major issue at the moment. Might climb their way to the top of the list after another performance like this game. The dropped passes have been a BIG ISSUE that has affected the scoreboard since the preseason. THIS MUST BE FIXED ASAP.
4. The Refs – If you cant see how much worse weve been treated since they came back, youre blind. It’s been really really bad and has cost us at least one game so far.
These bastards are quickly moving up the list. They just cant help but miss the holds and call us for anything they can.
5. DMC’s field vision – One could make the argument that this is the second biggest issue at the moment. The semi’s are starting to see the Oline play a little better and DMC is still missing holes. Im not hating, just putting our boy on notice. Thats all.
6. Special Teams (has steadily improved throughout the year)
Off the hot seat?
7. Secondary (Was our biggest problem early on, has improved drastically. Huff is partially to credit, improved LB and DE play is partially to credit. Regardless, its no longer the BIG problem it once was. After week 2, you could say the secondary was problem #1, now, its about to fall off this list)
Off the hot seat?
October 28th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
This was a beautiful day of Football baby….the dolts imploding, us dominating..sort of…now only thing that can top it off is the Saints beating down the donks and lowering the boom on Manning
October 28th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
So what do we do with Huff when Bartell and Spencer get healthy?
October 28th, 2012 at 4:21 pm
LOT OF DROPP’D BALLS 2DAY BY RECIEVERS.PALMER HAD A GOOD GAME ..
October 28th, 2012 at 4:21 pm
After listening to the game via online radio I must say that was are best game to date under DA. Chiefs gave a couple gifts but we were able to take advantage which is what the good teams do. I have ripped Knapp a new one so I have to give him credit for a solid gameplan and it would’ve been even better if not for a few key drops. McFadden finally started to look like McFadden and the Oline looked much improved over last week, even willie smith seemed to play better. Now we take on TB which will be a much stiffer test and we will really get to see what are boys are made of, byt for now enjoy a comfortable victory Nation we havent had many like this I almost didnt know how to feel. GO SAINTS!!!
October 28th, 2012 at 4:21 pm
Have Huff opposite of Bartell?
October 28th, 2012 at 4:22 pm

I love the wins, I love the momentum, but we beat the 2 worst teams in the NFL. It’s a start, but we need to play tough against Denver and San Diego next time and win the div.

offense is still struggling though d looked good and played as a team but against a team that hasnt scored a td since week4 and we let them have a td
October 28th, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Bartell and Spencer will have a hard time getting back on the field the way the CB group is playing.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Mob Refs? Raiders had 2 penalties for 20 yards.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Its amazing what a difference real NFL linebackers can make…Wheeler is a Baller, Burris is coming along…it seems they were all over the field on every play today…give Reggie credit for at least giving us real NFL linebacker play this year…I have been missing that kind of tenacity since Romo was here

The biggest issue for our team right now is not having an NFL level punter
October 28th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
Going in, KC was the 3rd offensive run team.
The defence had a good day against KC.
Palmer is being really patient with the receivers but for fuk’s sake, if it hits you in the hands you’re supposed to catch it.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
I think DA should demand an extension.
We beat the Jags and Queefs.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:29 pm

I am intrigued to see Bartell and Ross though.

All the intelligent semi’s agree…. Huff stays at CB. This year and come next year, move him to #2 and bring in a possible #1 if available in free agency. If not available, run the same crew next year. Our draft needs to go towards O and D line help.

He still had less than 4 yards a carry.

If he had 28 for 112 that is EXACTLY 4 yards a carry.
I thought the stat line said 114 yds. which would make it 4.2 yds. a carry.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:31 pm
Burris and Wheeler are the wave of our future, Mcclain seemed to play well also. However I think we will be in the mix for a new MLB this offseason, we cant pay 55 that type of money for so few plays a game.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:31 pm
WR’s have got to step their game up next week…
For now, GO SAINTS!

Stevie Brown with another INT
October 28th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
it kind of does it shows seymore will still get sloppy towards the end of the game even though in my eyes it was a weak call
October 28th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Stevie!

October 28th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Reggie would have kept Stevie Brown. It’s nice having a real GM now.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Stevie Brown … GAWD DAMMIT MAYNE!!!
Should be OUR starting FS.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
By my count we will be 22nd in scoring after today, and averaging 2.2 points less per game than last year.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Agreed gents. Stevie Brown is on fire for the G-Men!
October 28th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
We need the Saints to show up now.
But considering that stupid soda commercial Drew Brees has done with that queer band One Direction, he’s due to get some really bad luck. Man card… revoked.

Great job previous regime.

October 28th, 2012 at 4:35 pm
O-line stepped up on the road and kept CP clean with no pre-snap penalties. Kudos to them. The run blocking was still pretty sorry, but they did open some creases in the 2nd half.
I am impressed how DA and Tarver have amped up the D since the bye. With no top end pass rusher or CB’s they are handling their business and causing TO’s. That is what makes the offenses regression so frustrating.
The O-line has to build on this performance and DMac needs to keep working. WRs have to catch the freaking ball. And Knapp has to be more creative sometimes. Tampa will be a challenge because they come in smoking on O. Keep this team improving DA.

What is a #1 CB besides a guy who is going to cost a lot of $.
Huff is our high priced corner. I think we find a starter opposite him outta Lee, Ross, or Bartell.

McClain has responded as good as possible to the demotion.
That is better than what we’d expected him to do, which was go into the tank.
When we are healthy/deep enough to run a 3-4, he will be the “other” ILB and play much better.
I dont think this is RoMac’s last year with the team. The coaches wanted to see a response, and he’s responded. That goes a long way with coaches and Reggie.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:38 pm
Good win today Nation! We are still very much in the hunt. What I liked best about this victory? Even though we were a bit flat in the first half, it was a convincing win. We were the better team and came out and showed why. Hoping this sets the tone for the rest of the season.

Youre probably right. It doesnt mean he isnt playing at a PB level tho.
He is a frontrunner for defensive AFC rookie of the year.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
Sterling Moore gets beat A LOT, lol.
His best plays are knocking the ball out from behind.
I’m cool on him.

What is a #1 CB besides a guy who is going to cost a lot of $.
Huff is our high priced corner. I think we find a starter opposite him outta Lee, Ross, or Bartell.
———–
Huff is what? 6 million a year? That is what you pay for a top #2 corner. Of which he is playing like.
He also passes for a cheap #1 CB if he continues to play like he has. So in that scenario, I can live with what you are proposing.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
The play that stood out today was the DHB TD play.That is how he should be used.Get him the ball on short passes and let him use his strength and speed.No more of those fly patterns.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:41 pm

Bad luck

Stevie Brown getting toasted…no thanks
October 28th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
Hopefully we can turn this thing around,we look a lot better today but we got a long way to go.I still don’t understand everyone putting down al Davis every chance they get if it wasn’t for him we would not be on this blog, let the man rest in peace.As for Reggie we are still 3-4 funny how losing is ok now.

We got Huff and Pat Lee with Spencer and Bartell coming back….we dont need Stevie and Sterling, Huff is our new shut down corner

WHOA Bossman ease up on the “SHUTDOWN CORNER” if he shuts down the Williams kid next week then we may have something. Bowe was pretty quiet though was Huff on him most of the game?
October 28th, 2012 at 4:42 pm
We aren’t the only team that let Stevie Brown go that could use him right now. It was a nice fine by the old regime, but to bad they didn’t let him develope a little, he looked good his first year here, but he fell way off his 2nd year, I remember the reports from training camp how he was always out of place and it carried over to the preseason. Every regime has players that they wish they would of givin more of a chance once they see them play good for someone else. It happends, no need to dwell over it
October 28th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
The only way McClain comes back is if he re-works his contract.They won’t pay him what he is due.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Were are about one possession WR from a playoff team
October 28th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Stevie is 27, not 37.

October 28th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
OK, maybe he did play decent in preseason games that year, but I do remember reports from camp sayin he struggled, Beat writers were surprised he looked so bad after havin a good 1st year
October 28th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
I think we’ll need more corners when we play against teams that have actually scored touchedowns
October 28th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
The semis alm wanted Stevie. Funny how you all saw it but not Al
October 28th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Two weeks in a row, two QBs taken out.
I say we start a paypal fund for our defense. A fan run bounty system. Roger Goodell has no jurisdiction over us.

Burris and Wheeler are the wave of our future, Mcclain seemed to play well also. However I think we will be in the mix for a new MLB this offseason, we cant pay 55 that type of money for so few plays a game.
———
McClain has responded as good as possible to the demotion.
That is better than what we’d expected him to do, which was go into the tank.
When we are healthy/deep enough to run a 3-4, he will be the “other” ILB and play much better.
I dont think this is RoMac’s last year with the team. The coaches wanted to see a response, and he’s responded. That goes a long way with coaches and Reggie.
—————-
This is true but have you seen his cap hit for next year? He will be getting paid like a PB type player.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Loved the way Palmer took Streater aside and talked to him when Streater didn’t get that route right near the goal.That is what leaders do.

People are complaining about losing Steve Brown? Maybe, but him and Gio are about the same I’d say. The guy Al never should have let go was Chris Clemons. He is the 3rd down speed rusher the Raiders need right now.

Criner has a Jamarcus type work ethic (still has not learned the playbook; tried to hold-out as a low round draft pick; and often injured)
Streater has potential, but how many true NFL level possession WRs fumbled and dropped so many passes their first year?
October 28th, 2012 at 4:53 pm
Anyday I can put a W on the schedule I keep on my Fridge is a good Raider day…..
One at a time…. Beat the Buck An Ears…….

We beat the 2 worst teams in the nfl we were suppose to win those games,we have to keep improving.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:54 pm
No alligator arms.He didn’t make the proper read and realize it was a back shoulder throw,not a go.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:54 pm
That D is starting to play the “RAIDER WAY”.

Damn right they are. Burris and Wheeler are nasty. We’ve been missing that mentality on our D forever. Really nice to see. If we can keep improving in all aspects, and especially get the offense rolling, we’ll be dangerous.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:57 pm
Hey,Chuck,did you see the Jack/GB game today?It was a close game and Jack gave them all they could handle.Are GB fans complaining because it was the terrible Jags?I doubt it.But if you dislike a team,I guess you try and find any negatives with anything positive that that team does.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:58 pm
A good defensive coach like Allen has players playing defined roles.
Rolando is used in area’s to succeed, and he is sacking QB’s, stuffing runs and knocking out QB’s.
When he would get burnt, he isn’t in those spots anymore.
Love the new staff and regime. Feels like something we can actually build on, as opposed to knowing the tent was going to fold eventually.
October 28th, 2012 at 4:58 pm
Laters fellow Nationers. This is gonna be a good week, enjoy the win streak!

Wheeler and Burris are FLYING to he ball on every play.
Been a while since we had that going on…
DA is winning me over.
Just WIN Baby!
October 28th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
Since we have a poster who always trashes Palmer for WINS and how they are the true measure of a QB, I guess Luck is “light years” ahead of RG 3 right now.
Hey. No excuses. Gotta win the game. Lol.
October 28th, 2012 at 5:05 pm
Watched the end of that Giants / Cowboys…. Pretty good game
October 28th, 2012 at 5:05 pm
…and since Palmer has more TD’s than int’s some have to pull “total turnovers” out of their arse.
Can we then fairly ADD dropped passes to the QB’s stat line?
October 28th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
Raidertalk
Jerry Rice couldn’t catch a cold at times his rookie year. Not saying Streater will ever approach Rice status, however, if the GOAT had a case of dropsies his rookie year, any WR can.
October 28th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
Much more impressive win than last week. Two crap teams, but at least this week we looked like an NFL team.
A little progress.
October 28th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
Noticed something else about our D, most of our defenders joined the big hit club for today’s game. Branch, Burris, Wheeler, McClain, Kelly, Gio, and I’m probably forgetting one or two. All of those guys had one or more solid, bone-crunching hits…much better than the old whiff and extra yardage we were so used to seeing through the years.
October 28th, 2012 at 5:09 pm
Hopefully we don’t have to read anymore, if Hue, when Hue was here, Cable this…Also, great for Stevie Brown but he’s not a Raider anymore.
October 28th, 2012 at 5:09 pm
DJ,this isn’t the time.This is a time to enjoy a win.Everyone knows the person you are talking about has an agenda and doesn’t really support the TEAM.Why bring him up now?He’ll be here next week and you’ll have plenty of time to correct him.
October 28th, 2012 at 5:10 pm
No one is complaint about winning if you are paying attention,what I said was we should win those games like green bay won today but we need to get better and lefty I bet if you ask any green bay fan or player they will tell you they have to play better.
October 28th, 2012 at 5:14 pm
Chuck,ever game players and coaches will say they need to improve and play better,that isn’t the issue.Too many come here after any win and make statements that we played a lousy team,we were lucky,the officials gave us the game,etc.When we win,we should be happy with the win-no matter who it was against.Don’t downplay it.In the NFL,a win is a win

October 28th, 2012 at 5:18 pm
Huff a much better cornerback than a free safety.
At cb he’s earning his contract, the dollars make much more sense now.
Lee & Hanson have vastly improved; ball hawks.
When Spencer and Bartell return, they will have to earn their first team positions.
Raiders will be deep at cb.

What we really need to get better at are those WR bubble screens or whatever u want to call them… Denver killed us with those and KC had success when they did that

Wouldn’t mind seeing NO send the bobble head into retirement…
Should be a good game.
October 28th, 2012 at 5:22 pm
Moore, Streater, and McFadden had drop passes, that cost at least one TD and one first down.
Raiders still one by double digits; that should tell us something.

Heyward-Bey becoming a consistent WR.
Streater still growing, tough catch, good to see Palmer instructing him on the sideline when he purposely underthrew him in the red zone, but R.S. kept running; and HC Allen holding him accountable after dropping the pass in the red zone; tells me they see extreme potential and improvement, even though he has been productive; solid special teams securing the onside kick.
