Thursday Night Football: Raiders vs KC

Divisional round game. Both teams lost their previews games, Kansas City Chiefs against the Steelers in arrowhead and the Okland Raiders lost it against the Chargers  The AFC standings may change with the result of this prime time game. The Raiders will be looking forward to getting out from the bottom of the division, where the Chargers were before week 6. In their other hand the Chiefs will try to recover from Sunday loss at home and demonstrate they are in the top 1 of standings in the NFL.

This is not going to be easy, since many defensive coordinators have found the manner to stop Kansas city offense and neutralize Kareem Hunt and Tyrek Hill. In the game against the Steelers the Chiefs had problems moving the ball. So Andy Reid must find new ways to move the ball in offense.





In the other hand, the Raiders will try to overcome the injury of their QB Derek Carr.  Manuel has not done a bad job, but  has not adapted to the offensive system designed for Carr. The hope for the Raider offense will be to establish the running game and open the passing game possibilities to Richardson, Cooper and TE Cook.

Eagles and Mayas knew perfectly what was at stake  – w in and take the leadership of the Suerox Division , or go home thinking about your damaged aspirations for the playoff dream. The first quarter opened hostilities with the Eagles choosing to receive the football immediately. A not so wise decision, given that Vladimir Araiza, N. 33, muffed the kickoff and left the Mayas team in their own 1-yard-line mark. Raúl Mateos, N.18, started as QB and began making plays with his legs, giving the Eagles room to breathe and operate their first offensive series. Then, Mateos made the first connection with Araiza, N. 33, to grant a first down and keeping their attack close to midfield. A couple of creative option plays showed the versatility of Mateos work, who pu

LFA: First Week Hits and Problems

This weekend started the Mexican Football League LFA. There was a great expectation of the second season of the league. There were new teams on the north, new players, and more media coverage. And we were expecting to be more professional. In this post I will point out some of the hits and problems that the league had in general during the first week. As a hit, I believe that diversifying the location of some teams will allow more people to go to these games in different cities such as in Saltillo, Monterrey or Naucalpan. The matchups were really intresting and most of them were fun and entertaining. That is the main point of this league and sport. And finally, I saw some improvement in the way players performed.

The league charged 499 mexican pesos (25USD) to watch the 24 games of the league,
