Some of the games the Chargers lost they deserved to win, this one the won they deserved to lose...

I hate the Chiefs. I hate the Raiders. Yeah, I'm a Denver Bronco fan. Nice to see the AFC West as the best division in football at this point: Denver: 9-2 SD: 7-4 KC: 7-4 Oak: 4-7 The only other division to come close - the NFC South - has Carolina in front at 8-3 (and the Saints worse than the Raiders at 3-8). In games between AFC West and non-AFC West teams, the AFC West teams' records are: Broncos: 6-2 Chargers: 5-3 Chiefs: 5-2 Raiders: 4-3 So is it any wonder that the Redskins have now lost all four games against the AFC West?

The Caps are pathetic this year. Shows that some teams get more than a little rusty with a prolonged layoff (it hasn't hurt some other hockey teams that there was no season last year, but the Caps look like they're still in tryout-camp mode). You need for the Wizards to kick it into gear. They've had some good games, including the double-overtime win the other evening, but blow the easier ones far too often to "count." I'm afraid you'll have to suffer along with the rest of us. Sigh.

Gibbs plays conservative throughout the whole game and decides to get liberal at the end. It's like he's trying to train his players not to do as good as they can. Tonight's game is probably one of the best MNFs we have had in a long time. James you’re absolutely correct. Gibbs plays conservative throughout the whole game and decides to get liberal at the end.

Tomorrow night should be another good test. Beating New England and Cincinnati on the road were nice, but it will be more fun to win a big one, convincingly, at home.
