Before Mr. Shields departed, I thought we would take the AFC West. The raiders - well, they are the raiders and will have a rookie qb. The donks - their starting QB had a losing record, they had a losing record @ home, they lost people in free agency (and some how have 2 home Monday night games?!?!?! -- but that is another thread). the charges have a head coach with a losing record. I really thought we could take it by default. Now it all depends on filling that hole Shields left.
