In the end, it didn’t matter whether the quarterback was Kyle Boller or Carson Palmer. The Raiders’ secrecy about naming a starter was no mystery to the Kansas City Chiefs, who intercepted six passes Sunday and returned two of them for touchdowns Sunday in a 28-0 AFC West win at O.co Coliseum. The loss snapped the Raiders’ eight-game winning streak in the AFC West and dropped their record to 4-3 heading into their bye week, where much time will be spent by coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Al Saunders getting Palmer up to speed. Kansas City, 3-3, has won three straight games, beating a team with a winning record for the first time this season. The Raiders weren’t helped by the absence of their most explosive player, running back Darren McFadden, who left with an undisclosed injury after carrying twice for four yards and did not return.

Wow! the Raiders looked horrible without McFadden. Boller was worse than I ever dreamed he'd be. Palmer was put in a horrible position, and really didn't look that bad. Chiefs Defense looks the best they have all year! For the first time since Haley took over, they looked amped up to play Oakland. Wish I could say the same for oakland.
