I’m watching the Bears-Cowboys game as I type this. It was not an impressive first half for two teams that might be the best in the NFC. The offenses look sharper in the third quarter here. If the Cowboys lose, the Packers will be the only undefeated team in the NFC. Go figure.

Can the Packers keep it up? Have the Eagles finally got their act together after putting up 56 points on the Lions? Will the Saints get back on track Monday night? Can the Seahawks build upon their victory over the Bengals? After a season of NFC questions like this, will it make a difference in the Super Bowl against the Patriots, Colts, Steelers or Ravens?

Too many questions. Some other thoughts from Sunday, Week 3:

– After the abominable Philly throwback uniforms, the classic Redskins helmets were a fashion triumph. I’m now yearning for the classic Jaguars helmet, before the carmaker forced the team to switch the logo.

– How does a team with Marc Bulger, Steven Jackson and Torry Holt produce only 245 yards and three points? The Rams might be the young season’s biggest letdown, tonight’s Saints game notwithstanding, if not for the Chargers, who have now lost as many games as they did last year. Yes, San Diego has played three good teams, but the Bolts didn’t look very convincing in beating the Bears, didn’t put up a fight against the Patriots and let a victory slip away against the Pack.

– The Texans couldn’t continue their dream start like the Packers did, but Houston didn’t exactly roll over against the Colts, either. The Texans won’t catch Indy in the AFC South, but they could legitimately challenge for a wild-card spot with continued solid play.

– There was a commercial advertising a contest to win a trip to the Super Bowl, Pro Bowl and NFL draft, which led me to this question: If you won a trip to the Pro Bowl, would you actually be forced to go to the game? Yes, you are winning a free trip to Hawaii, but why waste three perfectly good hours in Hawaii watching a non-entertaining football game?

– 17-10, fourth quarter, Cowboys leading. Terrell Owens is having a good half, and Tony Romo looks ready to step into the elite of NFL QBs. Hopefully the Bears will tie this up, soon, but the Cowboys are driving. Will it be these two teams again in late January? Argggghhh — another NFC question!
