NFC Obituary - Dead After Week 7

Week 7 Obituary - Funerals this week:
Ding dong the witch is dead. Tony Romo or no Tony Romo, doesn't really matter - This team is done. Too top heavy, no depth, old OL, disastrous special teams, even the defense has been surprisingly bad, and so on. They'll almost certainly have a new head coach by next season, and with an OL chock full of guys that will all be 33 years of age by the end of next season, the rebuilding process will take some time, no matter how many talented players they may have.
The 49ers just lost to the previously winless Panthers to drop to 1-6. I think it's safe to put them away.
Previously dead and buried:
Big trouble:
Probably a few weeks away before we can kill off the Vikings (2-4), but they look nothing like the team that went 12-4 last year. They're still only 1.5 games behind the division leading Packers and Bears, but how long can they stay close if Tarvaris Jackson has to play for an extended period of time?
See the rest of the NFC hierarchy after the jump...
The crappy NFC West teams:
At -62, the Cardinals have the worst point differential in the NFC. The Rams are much, much improved, but they're still nowhere near serious contenders.
They are who we thought they were:
After somehow getting off to a 4-1 start, the Bears have had consecutive home losses to the Seahawks and Redskins. They're currently tied for the NFC North division lead, but not for long with the way that disaster of an OL is playing.
Should we start taking these guys seriously?
Raheem Morris called the Buccaneers the best team in the NFC. I'd be excited about the 4-2 start if I were Raheem too, but he should probably tap the breaks on that one a little. The Seahawks have emerged as the clear-cut favorite to win the God-awful NFC West, and the Redskins keeping finding ways to win extremely ugly.
Reinforcements on the way:
The returns of DeSean Jackson, Jason Peters, and Michael Vick should make the Eagles a legitimate force when they return from their bye this week.
Not as good as their record might suggest:
How is this team 5-2? This team has first-round playoff exit written all over them.
Better than their record might suggest:
Just kind of waiting for these 2 teams to wake up. They kind of remind me of the Yakuza guy from the Simpsons, that is just standing there as his henchmen battle Fat Tony and the Italian mafia on the Simpsons' lawn. When Marge directs Homer to go inside, Homer pleads, "Aww, but Marge, the little one hasn't done anything yet, and you know it's gonna be good!" That's my fear on the Packers and Saints.
(Sigh) Currently, the best team in the NFC:
In this joke of a conference this year, the Giants stand above the rest... for now.

The Giants are such an odd team. They are so sloppy and so turnover prone… They’re talented, no doubt… but just prone to total meltdowns. Eli is leading the NFL in picks now.
Plus their defense and special teams were completely unimpressive tonight. They’re an odd team, but who isn’t?

The defense held the Cowboys to less than 270 yards
and only 41 yards rushing. Not impressed even slightly? The Cowboys had one (1) scoring drive of over 20 yards, and it was a stupid prevent defense at the end of the game. When they played straight up the Cowboys had 6 consecutive 3 and outs. That’s damn impressive.

And yet they were one onside kick recovery away from losing anyway
Good win, but ugly, just like every other team in the league this year.
"We are not normal, We are Legends. People will tell their kids about us." - Deon Butler before Ohio State Game 2008.
The recovery of the onside kick
does not mean an automatic win for Dallas. They would still have to go 60 yards in about a minute with no timeouts.

They’re enigma. They made plays and appeared to play well, but gave up a ton of points. Yes, some of that was garbage time but they’d already given up over 20 points before then.
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook
I would argue
that the defense only giving up 13 points on drives that started inside their 10, inside their 20, and at their own 40 was a remarkable achievement. The game was won right there. Yes the punt return was atrocious, but that’s not on the D.

or does he only take those when they make the playoffs?
The Theory of Evolution states that only the strong survive. Maybe so, maybe so. But the Theory of Competition states that, just because they're the strong, doesn't mean they can't get their asses kicked.
who have the giants beat?
houston was the best team they beat and houston is….well horrible defensively.
im waiting to pass judgement.
"who have the giants beat? "
That s exactly what i was thinking as the MNF crew were anointing them Kings of the NFC. so i had to look up their 7 games. The teams they beat are a combined 11-21 beating the Bears and Houston. So they Giants have beaten 2 “winning teams” This is pretty much the same way the Giants were last year beating up on bad teams until their schedule got tougher. I will hold off on crowning them untl " they are who I think they are".
I would love to blow up Texas Stadium... With team still in it
so who's the best team in the NFC
if we haven’t beat anyone? i’m sure you don’t think it’s the Falcons, since you guys destroyed them. that leaves the Packers, who will have Ahman Green running the rock by seasons end, and the Saints who just let a fat linemen run 2 INTS to the house.
so who’s the best?
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....
IMPEACH DOLAN!!!!
There is no best team
A lot of contenders though. The Giants haven’t shown a whole lot, I mean they won tonight but if Dallas recovers one of those onside kicks tonight the game might have ended differently, it was very sloppy. Green Bay is looking pretty good but still have their question marks. The Saints look like they put it together one week and then get blown out by the Browns the next. Chicago looked good early but has cooled down. Tampa has to show a little more. Atlanta can look good sometimes and then horrible others.
It’s a crazy upside down season, there is no best team. Just a lot of teams holding onto the moniker for a week and then dropping a bad game for no apparent reason.

" but how long can they stay close if Tarvaris Jackson has to play for an extended period of time?"
Jackson in his 5 starts in 2007 had 9 TDpasses and only 2 INT’s. I don’t see the Vikings falling off from Favre to Jackson. Favre had a magical year last year and there was no way in hell he was going to duplicate those #’s. IMO the Vikings sold their souls to the devil pursuing Favre this off season.
I would love to blow up Texas Stadium... With team still in it
from blogging the boys...
Perhaps the most enlightening moment of the night came when midway through the third quarter, a “Let’s Go Rangers” chant could clearly be heard throughout the stadium. If that isn’t a sign of the sports landscape in Dallas, then I don’t know what is.
We’ll have much more on this game tomorrow, but in the meantime — please keep it civil. Frustrations are at an all time high, but do no resort to turning on each other. Vent your anger about the team, but do not make personal attacks at each other.
ratliff and felix has talent…. our punters pretty good..
and did you hear how much our kickoff specialist can bench?
I feel physically sick. Can we just fire Wade already. What a bunch of pussies we are…Giants DOMINATED us! No excuses. We are a bunch of overpaid sissy bitches. I want Marty Shottenheimer….at least he will spit on someone.
Screw the playofffs….l’ll be happy to just compete!
We just laid down. We should have seen someone throwing punches on the sideline, preferrably at Wade. Bring in Buddy Ryan!!!!
GOTTA LOVE THIS….oh yeah, i forgot…FUCK THE COWGIRLS!!!

Yeah, Jerry must have been seething at the Let’s Go Rangers chants.
To be fair, though at the Linc during the Falcons game, there were a few Phillies chants in the closing minutes, but when they put a “Let’s go Phillies” graphic up on the big screens after the game, I thought “Somebody must have chloroformed Jeff Lurie.”
Eli is scary but as much as they turn the ball over,they won’t continue to do so well against better teams w/ better defenses that know how to score w/ those turnovers.

But through 7 weeks in the NFL only 4 teams have an equal to, or worse record than the Cowboys.
4.

With the exception of 2007?
"You can commit no mistake and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life." - Jean-Luc Picard
Their playoffs however were 3 things
early 1st round exit of fading Bucs, Dallas being Dallas and not winning a Playoff game, and Favre ending his team’s dreams with an interception.
And then they beat the previously undefeated Patriots. You’re right, they certainly don’t do as well at the end of the season as the Eagles tend to do, but they did manage to win the big one. Against arguably one of the best teams in NFL history.

The bye week couldn’t come at a better time…two whole weeks for DeSean, Jason and Michael to heal up properly. Indianapolis is no longer a juggernaut, so I don’t feel as nervous about this game as I previously did.

I don’t know about being favored; Peyton Manning is still Peyton Manning, he leads the league in passer rating. That doesn’t necessarily translate to wins, but it means he can still carve a defense up. He’s probably gonna stare at game film of our secondary like it’s a porterhouse from Peter Luger. He doesn’t have Dallas Clark anymore, and the rest of the Colts have been fairly inconsistent, but after watching Collins and Britt smoke our defensive backs I’d say the Colts will be favored by 3 or so.

The Eagles have a shot...
but favored? It’s Peyton Manning vs. Ellis Hobbs….
that’s not something I’m willing to bet the farm on
Rec'd em? Damn near killed em!
Only bad play in that game.

I like Andy
having 2 weeks to prepare for Indy. He is usually very good coming out of the bye (in the regular season). Clark being out is huge. Just gotta stop Wayne and watch out for Collie. I like Vick matching up against that Indy D line too with them being fast and agressive. I think he can make that D-line look silly.
collie has hand surgery he is out
UDDDDAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta watch out for Pierre Garcon as a deep threat too.

Yea I know....
But Garcon does not scare me as much as the other receivers. He drops the easy balls but catches the hard ones. Never know what kinda game you will get out of him. But if our secondary plays like they did against the Titans it wont matter.
Funny thing about your post of the Cowboys......
its the same exact guys that dismantled this Eagle team last year. It is funny how year to year or even game to game at times how we feel one minute they are awesome and the next minute they suck. I remember seeing alot of people on the Eagles team getting critized alot , that are now being praised. Funny how that all works out. This NFL has such parity that any given year , a team can rise or fall. Its just the way of the buisness.
From what I watched of most of your games this year. The Eagles look good. Here’s hoping you continue moving forward and represent the East.

One quarter,
one quarter…….one-freaking-quarter…..that is what separates The Giants and us…sigh All this talk of the Giants being the best team in the NFC makes me sooo mad at the Eagles. Now I am going to have to deal with these Redskins fans as well over at the NFC East blog. I don’t mind the Giants fans, they are good for the most part. But all this winning has brought out A LOT of trolls from the Redskins fan base. It is going to be a long 2 weeks…..sigh….one quarter……..
I’m really not going to go ahead and get myself in a twist about calling the Giants the best team in the NFC. Fact is they are winning, albeit kind of ugly and sloppy. They’re 5-2. And with that pass-rush, I think there’s a chance they could easily beat the Eagles. The line has had problems and injuries and there are ways you can plan for that but having to face that kind of pass rush makes things difficult. And lets not forget the Giants don’t just hit quarterbacks, they seem to be taking them out of games this year.
Also, lets face it. Dez Bryant looked like he was about to Kenny Britt the Giants except they kept scoring themselves. Thats something the Eagles didn’t do. That plays kind of heavily in my thoughts on the NFC power rankings.
Are the Giants the far and away bestest mostest greatestly great team in the NFC? I don’t know. But with the way the season has been rolling along, I’m not going to piss and moan about calling them the best team right now. Besides, does it really matter? Its only week 7. There’s still lots of football left to go. I’m willing to let this one play out.
Let the beasting begin.
