Sunday, November 7, 2010 was a day to remember for Raider fans and Chief fans alike. And remember they will as the Sunday marked the first time in seven years that the game actually means something. The nastiest rivalry in sports history has been renewed! Yankees-Red Sox, Bears-Packers, Lakers-Celtics and Ali-Frazier don't even measure up. The Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs have more hatred for each other than the others combined. Oakland's McAffee Coliseum even sold out for this one! The game itself lived up to all the hype as the Raiders won a knock 'em down, drag 'em out, overtime affair by the ...
The Oakland Raiders just pulled off the biggest win since beating the Titans in the AFC Championship in '02. The Raiders knocked off the AFC West-leading Chiefs 23-20 in overtime. It wasn't a pretty game. The Raiders had 15 penalties for 140 yards yet were able to overcome the adversity and pull out the huge win.
During a rainy first half the Raiders offense struggled and the Chiefs, with the help of a few penalties, built a 10-0 lead and took it into halftime. The Raiders dodged a bullet just before the half as the Chiefs had the ball inside Oakland's 10-yard ...
In fantasy football, everybody team owner is constantly scouring the waiver wires for sleepers. A sleeper is generally defined as a player that most expect to fail, but that has the upside and could possibly produce at a cheap cost.
Here enters former Clemson track star, and football standout, Jacoby Ford. Ford was drafted in the fourth round in the 2010 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders. Anybody familiar with the Clemson Tigers of recent years has heard great things about Ford, as he was a big role in a speedy offense powered by himself, as well as C.J. Spiller and ...
Occupying the spotlight is nothing new for the Dallas Cowboys, but if you can somehow look past Jerry Jones' coaching questions, and take a look at the NFL's other more important storylines, I promise you it will be worth your while.On the topic of hogging the spotlight, it isn't rare to see fans and the media surround themselves on the division leaders. Once again we see a year that features the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants heavily, and as exciting as this always is, many up-and-coming teams are left unnoticed.I guess what I'm trying to say, ...
The last time the Oakland Raiders sold out Oakland Alameda County Coliseum was September 14, 2009 on the Monday night season opener against the San Diego Chargers.
The Raider faithful that filled Oakland Alameda County Coliseum yesterday were treated to an exhilarating and exhausting comeback overtime win against arch rival Kansas City.
The win was the first time the Raiders have won three in a row in the AFC West since 1990 and three in a row overall since their Super Bowl runner-up season of 2002. It has been a long time since a matchup between the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City ...
In a game where the Oakland Raiders committed a season-high 15 penalties, they somehow found a way to come through. It was not the prettiest win for Oakland, but Coach Tom Cable and his Raiders will take it any way they can get it.
The Raiders were shut out for the first two quarters of the game and went into halftime trailing 10-0.
The Raiders received the ball to open up the second half, and rookie speedster Jacoby Ford took it back 94 yards to cut the Chiefs lead to 10-7.
The Chiefs responded with a Ryan Succop field goal to extend their ...
Am I breathing?
I didn't pass out mid-way through the game and then wind-up in a coma, did I? For all I know, I could be on life support right now. It would explain the annoying beeping noise I hear. Those golden arches I see are either the gates of heaven, or...a McDonald's.
Uh, oh. The beeping has started to flat-line.
Oh, well.
Perhaps this is only a dream or blogging from the afterlife (I now hear angelic music), but I'll take it.
The Oakland Raiders defeated the Kansas City Chiefs today, 23-20 in overtime, in quite easily the most nerve-racking and emotional game of ...
This will be short and sweet.
First, I am really happy that the Raiders beat the Chiefs 23-20 in overtime Sunday.
Really I am.
But I find it hard to get too excited because they just played so poorly for most of the game.
Fifteen penalties for 140 yards, four fumbles with two being lost, overthrows by Campbell to the receivers and way too many dropped passes when he was on target. How they won this game is beyond me.
Only the fact that the Chiefs played worse saved the day.
However, no matter how poorly both teams played, the officials in this game were even ...
There's a new player in the game and his name is Jacoby Ford. Let me start off by thanking and congratulating this speedy WR for a great catch at the end of the Oakland Raiders OT drive to get the Raiders into field goal range. It was an absolutely nail-biting game as the Oakland Raiders played hard to stay in competition only to be brought down by the worst NFL officiating the NFL has ever seen. Yet, this speedy rookie receiver with great, great hands won the game for the Raiders. It was a pleasure to see the takeaway catch in the ...
The Oakland Raiders haven't won three games in a row since our Super Bowl run of 2002. Well guys...we've done it.
What was a penalty-ridden game, a sloppy game (filled with enough drops and miscues for a whole season) and a very close game turned out to be nail biter.
Jacoby Ford, you get your props here. Down 0-10 at halftime, Ford wasted no time providing a spark for the team, returning the opening second half kick 94 yards for the TD.
Things got more interesting late. In the fourth quarter, a very questionable call was made in which the Raiders "fumbled" on ...
