this is an interesting point, and i hadn't really thought about it. partly because the book and the movie end somewhat differently, and partly because I never thought to compare Moss and Chigurh like that. (I was busy comparing Moss and the Sheriff.)

To me, the Sheriff is more of an example of "what could have been". Had the Sheriff been younger (10, 20 years?), I really think that he would have been an equal to both Moss and Chigurh, in terms of resourcefulness and tenacity.

(spoiler) <font color="white"> Instead, he seems to be just a step behind - just missing Anton at the trailer park, not convincing Moss's wife enough to protect her from Chigurh </font>


That's a great point in your spoiler - (spoiler again)
<font color="white"> Anton seems to be able to kill anyone he desires to, but can't finish Moss; Moss seems to come up with very rational plans of escape and backup measures, but he can't ever shake Chigurh.</font>

Have you read the book? If not, you need to read it.
