In the NFL, You Just Never Know

Until 3 weeks ago, the New York Giants looked like arguably the best team in football. Then came a loss at New Orleans, followed by a home loss to the Cardinals and another at Philadelphia. Losing in New Orleans is nothing to be ashamed of as the Saints are among the top teams in the league. The troubling part is the performance of Eli Manning over the last couple of weeks. For the second consecutive week, he has thrown multiple interceptions and looked completely out of sorts. This week, the defense chipped in as well giving up multiple big plays to an Eagle offense that had been struggling coming in and was without Brian Westbrook. The Giants' injuries may finally be catching up with them. The Eagles now move ahead of New York for first place in the NFC East and the Giants better figure it out in a hurry. They have a very tough schedule through the end of the season. Their bye after next week's matchup against the Chargers can't come soon enough.

From Calling BINGO to Calling Plays

The Philadelphia Eagles travel to Washington to take on the Redskins tonight. The Redskins have been embarrassingly bad so far this season. Their first six games have come against teams looking for their first win. Four of those teams got their first win, including the lowly Detroit Lions. How bad is it in Washington? After last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, owner Daniel Snyder stripped Head Coach Jim Zorn of his play calling duties and passed them off to newly hired offensive consultant, Sherm Lewis. Lewis has been calling BINGO games at a senior center in Michigan for the past five years and after just two weeks back in the league, he will be calling the plays. The Redskins are quickly becoming the Raiders of the East.
