his passes were good 2nd half but you can see the loss of power in his arm. Chief really done themselves last night. Brandon McManus can really kick like a horse lol

Hard to see passed The Patriots. Now that Brady has rightfully been found innocent it seems that a 2016 Super Bowl win for The Pats would be icing on the cake to a troubled season for the NFL.
invalid op. jets fans know nothing about good football. next!
JK - you make some valid points.
i'm sure we've all read the recent (SI ?) interview with manning wherein he stares that he can't feel his fingers/finger tips on his right hand? that explains his wobbly passes. after watching his first game back i wondered if there wasn't something amiss.
I think given the history of the long recovery period for foot injuries (ask NBA star Kevin Durant about his), Cowboys WR Dez Bryant being gone for the rest of this season may not be so far-fetched.
The real litmus test for Denver is how will Manning play at the end of the season. The past couple of years his performance does degrade and he's not looking all that strong at the beginning of this season.
I don't expect much from the Niners today or for this season, but it's kind of a relief in a way.
It's really hard to expect your baseball team and your basketball team to have to make the playoffs or else it's considered the worst choke imaginable.
For the Niners, I don't expect postseason and would be thrilled if the team goes 8-8 under the circumstances it has.
For now the Niners season is just a placeholder waiting for the Warriors and Giants to dominate their sport. As for current Giants at end of season, this year will be over .500 but #3 or #4 on NL wild card race meaning no postseason.
It's overall a great few years for the Bay Area with 4 professional sport championships, and the first of at least that many since '72-'74 A's, '75 Warriors, '76 Raiders campaigns.

Agreed. I can't believe how inept the Eagles offense looked.
It's too bad, because as constructed this Cowboys team is really good. Lots of talented weapons for the quarterback. We will see what Weeden can do.
Assuming Dallas doesn't lose Romo the whole season (big assumption), the Cowboys have so much talent they're still in it.
Was I the only one who honestly thought this Chip Kelly thing was doomed to fail after he moved good talent for essentially nothing?

Sucks to say but I no longer have any faith in Bradford. As a Rams fan, I was always high on Bradford because he has all the skills required to be a QB in this league in the traditional sense and because the lack of talent on the Rams, he couldn't fully break out. Now with PHI, the talent is better with a top 5 RB but the offense still looks the same as it did in STL - there are good plays here and there but the end result is a stalled possession. I have come to the conclusion that Bradford can only succeed if there is everything in place for him.
It's still early in the season but you think that Romo & Dez will be out at least 10 weeks (minimum?), what does DAL really have left? With probably the best O-line in the NFL, McFadden, Randle and Dunbar haven't really done anything to match what Murray would have done which is likely the biggest problem now that DAL will lean on the run game because who's really trusting Weeden to really play QB with no real WR threat?
Anything is possible but DAL would have to play near perfect between now and when Romo and Dez get back and I just don't see that happening.
The bold is super debateable. He's exposed away from that Dallas Offensive Line.
The defense is a lot better than I had anticipated, and their two best defensive players are out. They have so many receiving options it isn't even funny.
There's still a lot to like, but it's going to be tough and they have two division wins in hand.
Not to mention Murray had one good season. He was plagued with injuries and very inconsistent as a Cowboy. Once he was healthy and able to move behind the good offensive line is when he was able to put some yards up.
This. It's fine if he's making some good passes in September when it's warm. How will he look in December after most of a season of getting hit (especially if what we've seen of Denver's O-line continues)?
