The NFC West, formerly sponsored by the Hostess family of fine baked products, is currently the most competitive division in the NFL, with all four teams above .500 and all with positive net point differentials.

That was 4th and 1, by the way, and it wasn't even McGahee's worst play of the quarter.

Wasn't the only bad hands move of the night. Methinks the Denver receivers are going to be investing in better gloves.

Didn't watch the game- did the Pats really dominate with a 10-spot, or did the Broncos receivers drop the ball that much?

Denver couldn't stop New England's offense for most of the game so it didn't really matter. There wasn't many drops, just some inexplicable mistakes. Demaryius Thomas early in the game caught about a 40 yard ball and, for the second straight game, fumbled it towards the open end zone. The guy doesn't need new gloves, dude needs a better brain.

Pats were surprisingly dominant on D. For example, the fumbles were definitely forced more than dropped - like this beautiful pass/catch/punch-out.

I don't understand what the F1 telecast directors are thinking. They cut away from what looked like a really close finish for 3rd to show 2nd place sail in unchallenged.
