In all honesty if we can`t beat the Jets we are not ready for post season play. If we lose to the Jets I think we will be a bug on the Chiefs windshield. If we take care of business in NJ then raw hunger and discipline might make a game of it in KC and I may begin believing (again) that the Raiders are turning a corner.

Those conditions should favor the offense.

And if we can't be competitive with KC where does that really rank us? Everybody recently has beaten or taken them to the wire for a good stretch here, probably since our last time we played.

They do have the #1 ranked rush defense, but I don't think they can shut down our run game. Those numbers may be slightly skewed by weak opponents as well. That said, I don't expect us to run all over them either.

I do agree, I think the ran gives us an advantage. Not only because we run the ball better, but of their offense has to become one dimensional they are screwed. Bell has not rushed more than 70 yards in a game this season.

I agree with much of what XRamfan said. I feel if we lose against the Jets, a team who most would agree we are better than, it would be proof that this team really hasn't progressed as much as we thought. Not just the athletic side of it, the mental side. We have to win this game.

We can build on it, like we have all season. How can we go into KC with confidence if we lose against a team that we shouldn't? It's not like we are the Patriots, where such a lose wouldn't have an impact. Players and coaches can speak all they want about how such a loss has no impact, but it would IMO if you are in the process of building confidence - it can be so fragile.

I don't think we are ready to overcome Chiefs myself. We have yet to put together a solid performance as a team. However, different phases of the game have stepped up and picked up the slack when others are failing. So there is hope, there is progress at should allow us to compete and hang with them if we can continue building. That includes beating the teams we should and beating the Jets.

I also think we are a better team than when we first met the Chiefs.

My point, baby steps.

I see pundits are picking against us.
Good.
Gruden should use that as motivation.
"They think we cannot travel to the East coast and win. They think we are phonies. We need to show them."
Eliminate dumb penalties on offense and Carr can win us this game.

Everything about this game screams disappointing loss to me

- East Coast early game, after 3 weeks on West Coast...
- Bad weather expected; making it more difficult to throw the ball... Jets #1 run defense.
- Jets scoring 34 points in back to back games... Raiders highest score all year: 31 points.

This game is a major test for this young team. They can't afford to leave points on the field like they've been doing. Put it this way... if they win this game, it tells me they deserve to be in the playoffs.

Jacobs should bust a few long runs.

Three weeks ago people were calling this a definite win.
Now the Jets win two and it is a toss-up game.
Feeling better about the game today, but it remains a difficult game.
We win and I feel a possible play-off game may await.
