They are? The reason Murray was so good last year was because of their amazing offensive line. That isn't going anywhere. Whoever they put back there this year to run the ball will have success.

Not saying you've said, this ... but there's been so much talk around here by the masses about the talent on this team and how they're the most talented in the division. If that's true, then the road opener in Houston without Foster and really a marginally overall talented offense... that should be a win.

I didn't follow a lot of the preseason chest beating, so maybe this has been your stance the whole time... but, KC's expectations should be they're walking in and winning that game, no questions asked.

I know these things are worthless, mostly, but it's nice to see us get some play.

They have the Chiefs at #18 behind teams such as the Bills.

This is a game you should win. You don't make the playoffs by being inconsistent or playing down to your opponent.

Beating the Pats and Seahawks doesn't meat $3it if you also lose to the Titans and Raiders. We have enough talent on this team we should be competing with Denver for AFCW crown. We won't be beating Denver by starting slow and trying to catch up later.

Losing games we should win is a good way to earn our usual last seed playoff-pity-**** one and done...

I hear ya ... I honestly would love to see all 4 teams in the division doing well this year and improving.

No, I really enjoy watching the Raiders suck each and every year...

Dude, Romo is a franchise QB. Dez Bryant is arguably the best WR in the game. Their offensive line is the best in the league. Terrence Williams is possibly the most explosive #2 WR in the league. Jason Witten is the most reliable TE in the league. Cole Beasley is hella underrated as a #3 WR.

Their defense lost Orlando Scandrick and is certainly the weak point of their team, but they added two pass rushers and a 1st round CB. Plus they're getting Sean Lee back who will move to the weak side with McClain doing so well at Mike.

They could potentially be a Super Bowl contender.

I'm kinda tired of it, quite honestly. I think the NFL needs it's balance of "good and evil" teams and even though the mystique isn't nearly what it used to be... when the Raiders are good, the NFL is fun and games take a different meaning.

You are right though, lose that game and there's so much lost momentum heading into the home opener vs Denver.

I agree with this. It's not that our season is a disaster if we lose week 1, but if we do, it proves they're not the team I expected them to be.

I agree. Remember when we all in the AFCW beat the hell out of each other? Used to take records and stat sheets and throw them out the window.

Now beating the raiders is meh and we must be like shooing away your little sister to you by now.
