Three observations ... • Seattle coach Pete Carroll said he's looking at Tarvaris Jackson as his long-term solution at QB. Naturally, as he said that, the fragile T-Jack -- who has missed a game this season because of injury -- was limited in practice.

• Chris Johnson getting booed in Tennessee? Sorry CJ2K, but that's what comes with $30 million guaranteed when one is averaging 2.8 yards a carry as the NFL's 34th-leading rusher.

• Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy is taking heat for not tailoring Denver's offense to fit Tim Tebow's strengths. Considering he's got a fullback playing quarterback, McCoy probably is doing the best he can.

Two bold predictions ... • Green Bay reporters can throw away phone numbers for the '72 Dolphins as the Packers will lose at San Diego.

• The Eagles will crush the Bears, improve to 4-4 and prove -- again -- that Andy Reid knows what he's doing.
