In my mind, this game is a benchmark test for the Herm era Chiefs. Can we go on the road and take care of business against a team that I believe we are considerably better than? While I'll concede that one game does not equal the season, I do feel that this is the time when good teams are at their best. We need to go down there and take care of business, and we should do it in convincing fashion.
We're under .500 on the road...time to start learning to win on the road consistently if we have any hopes for play-offs and play-off wins.

AND we need to be able to make San Diego sweat, at least, when we visit them in a couple of weeks. Otherwise, regardless of whatever else happens....we are pretenders, not real contenders.
11-5 and a first round playoff loss at NE is, in my mind, nearly the same as a 10-6 record a missing the playoffs. Same result really.
