And the red is one of the most beloved guys in the nfl you often wont hear him speak out and criticize an opponent or make jabs through the media so when he does it it feels like it means and he means it. Well the raiders apparently ticked off and erie after they beat the chiefs earlier this season, the raiders to the victory lap around Arrowhead Stadium on the team bus. Kansas city is 12 in 3 against the raiders sense reid arrived in 2013 and they had won 5 straight before the las vegas when in october and the raiders well they were clearly happy about that win their Current Company had spoken laugh it being a measuring stick. Jon gruden kind of scoffed at the notion that they may have kicked off their rivals. But clearly andy reid took exception to the extracurriculars after the game moving the red shirts lesson they won the they they want to do. They end up one of the game thats not our style well arizonas back ready to thats you can find a smart alec bus driver in kansas city you make some snide comments we got on a bus maybe thats why we drove around the stadiums take him off. A ridiculous next question. It will be interesting when they get together on sunday night.

It played out pretty much how i think most logical fans expected at tips the niners are still playing hard for Kyle Shanahan, so i dont see many blowouts in the future but its a talent base league and when some of your most talented players are hurt its hard to compete the turnovers they were a bit surprising and Kyle Shanahan acknowledged that but he also acknowledged that theres no better time to have the week then now. And that is going to get more time for guys come to start with you know hopefully an extra week off im hoping to get at least a couple guys back. On offense. Order to hopefully one back on defense may be more weve got a lot of guys who got to be out there a lot you know some rotational players things like that too been carrying the load for way too long and got a lot of respect for some of these guys just been hanging on they need some rest. They need to get away and this is as much of a rest team of that on. So caution it wasnt lying the niners need this time off most injure team in the nfl right now 3 straight losses. You know, maybe they can get some guys back with a week and you know the season. The long shot right now in terms of their division and being 3 games behind but hey crazy things happen.
