Upon further review...
My thoughts on Week 5:
* WR Terrell Owens had his first blowup after catching three balls for 45 yards in his highly anticipated return to Philadelphia. Owens was visibly angry on the sideline, and he reportedly yelled an expletive upon entering the locker room after the loss.
Since he's not even his team's best receiver (that distinction belongs to Terry Glenn), Owens might not get the benefit of the doubt from coach Bill Parcells, who usually tires of such sideshows.
* I am baffled that the 3-1 Denver Broncos have scored 49 points this season. I know John Elway is gone and all. But come on? Twelve points a game from a team coached by Mike Shanahan, who is supposed to have one of the brilliant offensive minds in football?
And how about the guy on the other sideline, Brian Billick? The former Vikings offensive coordinator massaged three whole points out of his team.
* I am impressed with the 5-0 Chicago Bears. But their defense really only has had one test: the Shaun Alexander-less Seattle Seahawks. And their schedule doesn't show an explosive offense until Nov. 12 at Giants Stadium against the New York Giants.
* Yes, the Indianapolis Colts also are 5-0. But they're winning a lot of ugly games against teams I would have expected them to steamroll in the past. A late comeback against the Tennessee Titans? A three-point win over the New York Jets? These Colts are inferior to the 2005 model.
* I wonder how good the Philadelphia Eagles really are. In my opinion, their only win against a potential playoff team was Sunday. Their other wins: Houston, Green Bay and San Francisco. Let's see how they fare against the surprising Saints in New Orleans.
* The 3-1 Chargers might be my favorite team in the league right now. Phillip Rivers played well in beating the defending Super Bowl champions, and their defense is as good as any in the league.
* Former Vikings receiver Randy Moss obviously wants out. Monday, in a weekly segment on Fox radio, Moss took a swipe at owner Al Davis. And while good teams like Jacksonville might be interested, Davis strikes me as the type of vindictive person who would ship Moss to a terrible team, such as Detroit or Cleveland. I'm sure Matt Millen would love to add another high-priced, volatile receiver to his roster. It's worked out well for him in the past.
* Think the Houston Texans regret not taking Reggie Bush? He scored the game-winning touchdown on a punt return for the 4-1 Saints while Mario Williams has just 1.5 sacks for the 1-3 Texans.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Cutler play at some point this season. I really thought he was a good football player. Let's face it, he didn't have a whole lot of help at Vandy. He throws a nice ball, and he flashed some potential in the preseason. If nothing else, they should get Cutler in there in mop-up time, to get him some seasoning. He's obviously the future there.
Sounds like the Yankees are keeping him.
