How come they almost beat the Patriots last week? There offense was rolling against the Patriots Starting Defense and had that guy got 5 more yards would have beat the Patriots. Raiders D is shutting them down in both running and passing.

Let's see. Well, first, Tom Brady got hurt making that a closer game than it would have been. Second, the Chiefs had Brodie Croyle and Damon Huard as their two quarterbacks. After Croyle got hurt, Huard came in, although Huard isn't great, did a good job.

Today, Croyle is out, and Huard got hurt after 4 passes. Tyler Thigpen had to come in, and when that didn't work the Chiefs brought in Marques Hagans to play QB. Hagans is a WR in the NFL. Now, you tell me if I should really put much into the Raiders shutting down the Chiefs' offense.

Stopping Larry Johnson is one thing (which became substantially easier with both Croyle and Huard out.) But stopping the pass is a completely different thing. Hall and Nnamdi would be the laughing stock of the league if they couldn't shut down the Chiefs' passing offense with Thigpen and Hagans at QB.
