Raise your hand if you had pegged Chip Kelly to go 10-6 in his 1st year at helm of the Birds. Thought so.
I Don’t Get It: Patrick Chung. The thought of him going against Drew Brees will keep us from getting back any of the sleep we lost last night. Get well soon, Earll Wolff.
Today’s Upper: Kudos to Mychal Kendricks, who forced a fumble and also had an interception. We’re looking at an All-Pro in the making.
