Besides big news by the 49ers, the NFL season has included the rise of Geno Smith, a concussion crisis and a face-plant by the Raiders in Las Vegas.
In terms of news stories, the NFL tends to gravitate toward the extreme. A team asserts itself with an unparalleled first half run like the Philadelphia Eagles. Or takes a sudden fall like the Green Bay Packers or Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Then Lance broke his ankle in Week 2 and Garoppolo was back in the saddle on a team with a very good supporting cast and a top level defense. Most important, Philadelphia has a plus-15 turnover margin in just eight games. No other team is better than plus-6. The Eagles are the first team since the 1972 Pittsburgh Steelers to have a plus turnover margin in all eight games to start a season.Just what everyone figured. Seattle would trade away Russell Wilson, replace him with Geno Smith and get better.
It was black eye for the NFL and led to a “gross motor instability” clause in the concussion protocol to prevent re-entry into a game for a player who looks woozy following a possible blow to the head.Tom Brady came close to leading Tampa Bay to an NFC title game with one of his best statistical seasons. Aaron Rodgers won his second straight MVP and fourth overall for Green Bay.
The Raiders went from 10-7 and a wild card berth to 2-5 and are coming off a 24-0 loss to New Orleans. You want bitterness, check out Raiders Twitter as it pertains to coach Josh McDaniels. And it’s hard to blame a fan base that has taken so many punches to the jaw dating back to the mid-1990s.
