After watching the Eagles smack the sense out of the Redskins in the first half of the opener before prevent defensing their way to a win, I thought I'd have to keep an eye on them this season as a HFA / bye week contender that could be trouble for Seattle. Well, I guess I can put those worries to rest now. The way the NFC East is going, 7-9 might win it.
Also, props to the Chiefs for winning a road game on a Thursday night. Wasn't the road team's record extremely terrible on Thursday night last season? Short weeks seem to be extra tough on road teams. I think Philly was actually the better team of the two, they moved the ball better at least. But you turn over the ball 5 times or whatever it was, and you should expect to lose every time. So KC caught some huge breaks, but still. Impressed. I think they win 11 games this year with the DVOA of a 9 win team, but that's pretty darn good for a team that was more than an Alex Smith away from respectability last season. Five pro-bowlers be damned.
