Just an opportunity to use the phrase "gnashing of teeth"

TAE watched sadly (and with much gnashing of teeth) as his hometown team, the Kansas City Chiefs, didn't even show up for the game up Sunday. Expect Mel Kiper to start discussing who the Chiefs will pick no. 1 in the 2010 draft. Meanwhile, TAE wouldn't be especially surprised if the AFC West sends an 8-8 team to the playoffs...the entire division is hapless and lazy on the field, with no especial talent on the offensive line - TAE's secret belief is that massive, high-speed O-lines are what get teams into February, not quarterbacks, runningbacks or tweeting wide receivers.

And in case anyone wants to send me a "the Broncos/Chargers are 3-0/2-1, they look good" comment let me just point out that the Broncos have so far played 1-2 Oakland, 0-3 Cleveland, and 2-1 Cincinatti. Epic wins. The Chargers are a robust 2-1 against 1-2 Oakland, 0-3 Miami, and they lost (at home) to Baltimore.

Update (Mel Kiper released his 2010 draft projection later that day)
