And how about those 4-4 Raiders.....beat the Chiefs this week and go into the bye week over .500.
If they beat the Chiefs and go on to win that division then just go ahead and name Cable coach of the year, and probably McFadden come back player of the year with the way he's playing right now ... but there's still a lot of football left.

MacFadden's playing well, but EJ Henderson's got that locked down. Dude had a compound fracture last year and is playing at a high level with the Vikes this year.
Yeah, but the AP votes like a bunch of retards ... like giving Manning MVP every year for not dying.
Plus you have to figure the Chargers will be there by end, they always are.
I think it is an award for who gets the most commercial endorsements. Brees had no shot in the past, because he never got commercials until he won the Superbowl.

Excerpts from ESPN:
"Randy Moss, who was waived by the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, may have alienated some teammates when he was roundly critical of a post-practice meal in front of the local restaurant owners who catered it, Yahoo! Sports reported.
Every Friday, the Vikings invite a local establishment to cater the team's post-practice meal. Last Friday, it was a St. Paul restaurant -- a favorite of former Vikings center Matt Birk -- that served chicken, pasta, ribs and other dishes.
While his teammates lined up to dig in, Moss lashed out, according to the report.
Moss yelled "What the [expletive]? Who ordered this crap? I wouldn't feed this to my dog," a player who witnessed the incident said, according to Yahoo! Sports.
Gus Tinucci, co-owner of Tinucci's Restaurant and Catering, which provided the spread in question, confirmed the report to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
"If [Brett] Favre would have had a ball, he would have beaned him right in the head. Favre looked at him like, 'Are you kidding me?' " Tinucci told the newspaper.
...Sources close to the situation told Schefter that Vikings owner Zygi Wilf is angry that his team wanted to waive a player he wanted in Minnesota. Wilf played a major role in the re-acquisition of Moss and is unhappy with the way Monday's events regarding Moss unfolded.
The Vikings decided to cut ties with Moss on Monday, despite having given up a third-round draft choice to acquire him from the New England Patriots a month ago.
"This decision was made based on what we thought was in the best interests of the Minnesota Vikings, both in the short and long term," coach Brad Childress said in a statement. "We wish Randy the best as he moves forward in his career."
Segal said that Moss' departure from the Vikings came as a shock and added that only Childress knows why Moss was sent packing.
"It seemed like something did change" during Moss's short return to the Vikings, Segal told ESPN Radio. "I don't know that I can pinpoint it. I think really the only one that would probably know would be the coach."
The player who witnessed Moss' food tirade called it "an uncomfortable moment," adding that he felt Moss deserved to be cut after the incident, Yahoo! Sports reported.
"This wasn't a chain -- it was a mom-and-pop restaurant, and you could tell it was their best stuff," the witness said, according to the report. "And [Moss] is at his locker saying, 'You know, I used to have to eat that crap -- but now I've got money.' You just felt so sad for them. I had never seen anyone treated like that.
"And by the way, the food was actually really good."
A source who was at a team meeting on Monday, in which Childress informed the Vikings that Moss would be leaving, said it was clear the coach was referring to Moss' criticism of the locker-room meal when he said "This just doesn't fit with how we treat people, how we talk to people and how we act," according to Yahoo! Sports.
Moss' perceived lack of effort in the Vikings' last two games and his postgame comments after Sunday's loss at New England have widely been seen as reasons for the Vikings giving up on the wide receiver after a month.
Following the Vikings' 28-18 loss to the Patriots, in which Moss had one catch for 8 yards, the veteran receiver announced that he would not be answering any more questions from the media for the rest of the season.
He also criticized the Vikings for not heeding his advice on certain plays the Patriots were likely to use against the Vikings. He also expressed his admiration for the Patriots.
"I'm definitely down that we lost this game. I didn't expect we'd lose this game," Moss said. "I don't know how many more times I'll be in New England again. But I leave coach Belichick and those guys with a salute: 'I love you guys. I miss you. I'm out.' "
On Monday, Childress disagreed with Moss' assertion that the Vikings ignored the receiver's advice.
"I think we did a pretty good job of heeding it, both offensively and defensively," Childress said, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "He gave us some windows into how we thought they would end up playing. That's obviously in his eyes."

With all of Moss's on and off the field BS I am shocked that any team is still willing to take him. I wouldn't want him within 100 miles of Tampa.
Whatever, ____in drama i'm sick of it.
I'm just saying if, big IF, they do, but 2 things ... 1. The Chargers normally pull it off at the end, 2. The Chiefs are playing pretty solid ball right now. We'll see this Sunday
Unless a player breaks a major record (i.e. Alexander in '05, LT in '06, Brady in '07) Manning has it again this year. In '08 the Colts TEAM bailed his ass out that season in most of those games, but HE won them 9 straight games to make the play-offs. Whatever, give it to him again this year so he blows it in the post season yet again
Manning getting the MVP in that Superbowl was laughable (same could be said for his brother, when the defense won against the Pats). But, I guess no one person really deserved it then.
Manning was essentially ineffective against the Bears secondary, except on that busted coverage when Wayne was WIDE open and damn near walked into the endzone. The Colts running game won that SB (I know, right 
), so if anything Rhodes or Addai, or both, should have gotten MVP. But honestly, anyone who thought Manning wouldn't get MVP of that game was smoking crack. He could have went 5 of 40 with 18 yds, 6 INT and 0 TD and still gotten MVP. That's what happens when 'fans' vote on awards.

I think a pretty good case could have been made for Justin Tuck. He made the Pats O-Line look turnstiles.

Bills claim Merriman off waivers.

And Tennessee just claimed Randy.
Interesting. Tennesse bypassed Moss and drafted Kevin Dyson instead. I guess they're trying to rectify that a dozen or so years after the fact.

Both of those seem like weird moves. I guess Fisher thinks he can tame Moss.
Well, he's certainly had his experiences with an emotionally unstable player. I'm just glad he's not going to the Saints.

Moss made it a lot further down the wire that I thought he would. Thought the Bears or Rams would have grabbed him for sure.
